GBA1 gene mutation is an important genetic risk factor for Parkinson’s disease (PD). This paper reports a case of a 43-year-old male PD patient carrying a rare heterozygous Thr408Met mutation in the GBA1 gene identified through whole-exome sequencing, leading to a diagnosis of GBA1-associated PD. The patient’s motor symptoms were primarily characterized by bradykinesia and rigidity, without significant cognitive decline. Treatment with low-dose levodopa combined with a dopamine agonist resulted in significant symptomatic improvement.

Migraine is the most common neurological disorder with the highest disease burden， while the current outpatient diagnosis and treatment model cannot meet the requirements for reducing the disease burden of migraine， and it is necessary to reexamine its management from a patient-centered perspective. It should be recognized that the course of migraine is a dynamic process，and some clinical manifestations that are not included in the diagnostic criteria are meaningful for diagnosis.Several risk factors for the chronicity of migraine have been identified.In addition， various comorbidities can also affect diagnosis and treatment，and it is still unable to reliably predict the treatment response of migraine.Therefore， the management of migraine requires continuous revision of diagnosis and “trial-and-error” treatment.
Diagnosis

Objective:To investigate the changes of different cytokines in systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis（SJIA）and their role in early diagnosis.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted to select pediatric patients with fever accompanied by elevated levels of CRP，erythrocyte sedimentation rate（ESR），and ferritin who visited the Department of Renal Immunology，Children's Hospital of Soochow University from November 2019 to January 2023.Compare the differences in CRP，ESR，ferritin，and 34 plasma cytokines levels between children with SJIA and other autoimmune diseases.Cytokine risk was analyzed by regression；Correlation analysis was performed to determine whether cytokines were associated with lymphocyte subsets and disease activity.Results:During the study period，118 children with fever accompanied by elevated CRP，ESR and ferritin were eligible，among whom 20 children with SJIA were diagnosed，and 98 children with other autoimmune diseases were diagnosed.There was no statistically significant difference in CRP and ESR between SJIA patients and children with other autoimmune diseases（Z values were 0.721 and 0.345，all P>0.05）；There were significant differences in ferritin，IL-27，IL-17A，IL-31，IFN-γ，IL-18 between children with SJIA and those with other autoimmune diseases（Z values were 2.628，-2.052，-2.763，-2.135，4.067，4.419，all P<0.05）.Univariate Logistic regression analysis showed that IL-18（ OR=1.003，95% CI：1.002~1.004， P<0.001），IFN-γ（ OR=1.004，95% CI：1.001~1.007， P=0.004），IL-27（ OR=0.846，95% CI：0.716~0.999， P=0.049），IL-31（ OR=0.657，95% CI：0.451~0.959， P=0.028）were closely related to the occurrence of SJIA，and stepwise Logistic regression analysis indicated that the increase of IL-18（ OR=1.005，95% CI：1.003~1.009， P=0.004）increased the risk of SJIA，and the increase of IL-5（ OR=0.619，95% CI：0.402~0.953， P=0.029）decreased the risk.IL-18（ r=0.673， P=0.020），IL-27（ r=0.486， P=0.041）and TNF-α（ r=0.560， P=0.016）were positively correlated with the activity of SJIA. Conclusion:IL-18 presents a characteristic cytokine positively correlated with the risk of SJIA，while IL-5 presents a protective cytokine against SJIA.Both cytokines have independent predictive power for the risk.

Objective Paraneoplastic neurological syndrome is a rare immune-mediated disease induced by underlying tumors， and early identification of special subtypes of paraneoplastic syndrome and specific autoantibodies can guide efficient tumor screening， thereby promoting timely antitumor treatment and prolonging survival time. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the diagnosis and treatment of a case of paraneoplastic neurological syndrome with multiple clinical phenotypes and multiple autoantibodies who was admittd to Department of Neurology， Weifang People’s Hospital， and a systmatical review was performed for related articles. Results The patient presented with unsteady gait and mental and behavioral disorders in the early stage and was initially diagnosed with paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration and paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis with positive anti-SOX-1 and anti-GABABR antibodies. Due to abnormal electrophysiological results and positive P/Q-type VGCC antibodies， the patient was considered to have Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome， and all evidence suggested that the patient had occult small cell lung cancer. Finally thoracoscopic biopsy confirmed that lymph node enlargement on PET-CT was in accordance with the pathological changes of small cell lung cancer. The patient received both antitumor treatment and immunotherapy and had a survival time of 19 months. Conclusion The detection of anti-SOX1 antibodies should promote the screening for small cell lung cancer. In patients with paraneoplastic limbic encephalitis and paraneoplastic neuromuscular syndromes mediated by cell surface antibodies， immunotherapy should be initiated in parallel with antitumor treatment， and such patients tend to have a good prognosis.

Objective: To investigate the neuroprotective effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) combined with low⁃intensity transcranial ultrasound (LITUS) treatment on traumatic brain injury (TBI) . Methods: Seventy⁃two SD rats were randomly divided into four groups , namely , control group , TBI group , MSC injection group , and combined treatment group , with 18 rats in each group. TBI model was established by applying a pneumatic controlled cortical impingement instrument. Within 24 h after surgery , MSC was injected into the injury site by microinjector and microinjector pump using in situ injection. After injection , the injury site was treated with LITUS for 28 consecutive days using an ultrasound stimulator. The modified neurological functioning score ( mNSS) was performed on rats in each group at 1 , 3 , 7 , 14 , 21 and 28 days postoperatively , and then the brains were extracted to detect pathological changes at the injury site and the mRNA and protein expression of brain⁃derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) , growth associated protein⁃43 ( GAP⁃43) , postsynaptic density protein⁃95 ( PSD⁃95 ) and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) by HE staining , immunohistochemistry , Western blot and RT⁃PCR. Results: Compared with the control group , the mNSS score increased in the TBI group (P < 0. 05) , the expression of GAP⁃43 and PSD⁃95 decreased , and the expression of GFAP increased ( P < 0. 05 ) ; Compared with the TBI group , the mNSS score of MSC group was lower (P < 0. 05) , the expression of BDNF , GAP⁃43 , PSD⁃95 increased , and the expression of GFAP decreased (P < 0. 05) ; mNSS scores were lower in the combined treatment group than those in the MSC group (P < 0. 05) , the expression of BDNF , GAP⁃43 , PSD⁃95 increased , and the expression of GFAP decreased (P < 0. 05) . Conclusion The mechanism by which MSC combined with LITUS exerts neuroprotective effects in TBI may be related to the promotion of BDNF , GAP⁃43 , and PSD⁃95 expression and reduction of GFAP expression.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] level in patients with connective tissue disease (CTD) related-pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH).Methods:CTD patients with PAH (CTD-PAH) and without PAH (CTD-non-PAH) were colle-cted. All data were analyzed.Results:The serum 25(OH)D in the CTD-PAH group was significantly lower than that in the CTD-non-PAH group [(14±8) ng/ml vs (20±8) ng/ml, t=-5.94, P<0.001]. The 25(OH)D deficiency rate in the CTD-PAH group 86.2%(112/130) was significantly higher than that in the CTD-non-PAH group 57.7% (75/130) ( χ2=26.07, P<0.001), while the insufficiency rate was significantly lower [10.0%(13/130) vs 32.3% (42/130), χ2=19.39, P<0.001]. Serum 25(OH)D levels in the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc) associated PAH group were lower than those in the SLE [14(8, 17) ng/ml vs 19(15, 23) ng/ml, Z=-3.66, P<0.001], SSc [11(8, 17) ng/ml vs 24(18, 30) ng/ml, Z=-4.97, P<0.001] without PAH group. The levels of serum 25(OH)D in CTD-PAH youthful group, in the middle age group were lower than that in CTD-non-PAH youthful group [(12±8) ng/ml vs (19±8) ng/ml, t=-4.36, P<0.001] and in the middle age group [(14±7) ng/ml vs (21±8) ng/ml, t=-3.75, P<0.001]. Serum levels of 25(OH)D [ OR (95% CI)=1.100 (1.058, 1.144), P<0.001], uric acid [ OR(95% CI)=0.996(0.993, 0.998), P=0.003], immune globulin (Ig)G [ OR(95% CI)=1.123(1.057, 1.194), P<0.001] were associated with PAH in CTD patients. Serum 25(OH)D was positively correlated with calcium ( r=0.24, P=0.007), while negatively correlated between serum 25(OH)D and IgM ( r=-0.34, P<0.001). Conclusion:The occurrence and development of CTD-PAH may be related to the decrease of 25(OH)D level. Serum 25(OH)D level is associated with PAH in CTD patients.

Objective:To screen and analyze ferroptosis-related genes (FRG) impacting the prognosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma patients based on bioinformatics.Methods:RNA sequencing data including the clinical information of 545 colorectal adenocarcinoma patients and 602 data sets were downloaded from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. FRG gene sets were downloaded from FerrDb database. FRG expression dataset could be obtained after taking the intersection between FRG gene sets and TCGA database gene sets. Differentially expressed FRG and prognosis-related genes between colorectal adenocarcinoma tissues and the adjacent tissues were screened by using R software, and finally FRG influencing the prognosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma were obtained. According to protein-protein interaction networks, the interaction and the expression association of proteins were analyzed. LASSO regression analysis was used to build a risk model for patients' 5-year overall survival rate. The risk value was calculated for 509 colorectal adenocarcinoma samples in the TCGA database, and then the median risk value was taken as the cut-off value. All patients were divided into the high-risk group (≥ median risk value) and the low-risk group (< median risk value), and the survival curves of the two groups were drawn. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn for predicting the 5-year overall survival rate of colorectal adenocarcinoma patients in a time-dependent way in TCGA database according to the risk value of FRG prognosis model. Cox proportional risk model was used to make univariate and multivariate survival analysis in order to screen factors affecting the prognosis. The pathway enrichment analysis of prognosis-related FRG of colorectal adenocarcinoma was performed based on gene ontology (GO) database and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) database.Results:The clinical information of 545 patients and 602 datasets were extracted from the database. A total of differential expressed 199 FRG in colorectal adenocarcinoma and 28 prognosis-related FRG were identified. After taking the intersection, 21 FRG affecting the prognosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma patients were identified. DUOX2, NOX4, NOX1, DDIT3, JDP2, ATP6V1G2, ULK1, ATG3 were probably associated with WIPI1; expressions of NOX4, NOX5, PLIN4 were positively correlated with ATP6V1G2, while the expression of ULK1 was negatively correlated with MAPK1, MYB, FANCD2, ATG3 and ATP5MC3. LASSO regression analysis showed that 15 FRG were finally screened out (ATP5MC3, NOX4, NOX5, ALOX12B, ATG3, WIPI1, MAPK1, MYB, AKR1C1, DDIT3, JDP2, ATP6V1G2, DRD4, SLC2A3, PLIN4), and the risk model was constructed by calculating the risk value, and the risk value = NOX4×0.139-ATP5M3×0.108+NOX5×1.486+ALOX12B×0.475-ATG3×0.030-WIPI1×0.170-MAPK1×0.271-MYB×0.063+AKR1C1×0.021+DDIT3×0.186+JDP2×0.292+ATP6V1G2×0.777+DRD4×0.294+SLC2A3×0.059+PLIN4×0.113. The overall survival of patients in the high-risk group was worse than that in the low-risk group ( P < 0.001). The 5-year overall survival rate was 48.2% in the high-risk group and 76.8% in the low-risk group. Multivariate survival showed that the age and risk value were independent affecting factors of the prognosis. ROC curves revealed that the risk model constructed by using prognosis-related FRG could well predict the 5-year overall survival rate of patients (the area under the curve was 0.728). The differential expressed genes of both groups may be associated with genetic pathways such as extracellular matrix composition, extracellular structure composition and focal adhesion. Conclusions:The prognostic risk model constructed by the screened FRG can better evaluate the prognosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma patients. These FRG are expected to become new candidate biomarkers related to the prognosis of colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Objective:To investigate the relationship between the activation level of Nod-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome and the change of cognitive functions in patients with acute ischemic stroke.Methods:A total of 88 patients with acute ischemic stroke in Department of Neurology from October 2018 to July 2020 were selected as case group and 100 healthy physical examinees were selected as control group.Peripheral blood of the case group and the control group was collected, and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated by centrifugation.Then the NLRP3, apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), Caspase-1 and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) expression were detected by Western blot.The cognitive function of patients with acute ischemic stroke was detected by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). The differences in expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1 and IL-1β were compared between the case group and the control group.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1, IL-1β and MoCA score.Logistic multivariate regression was used to analyze the relationship between expression levels of NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, IL-1β and the cognitive dysfunction.Results:(1)Western blot results showed that NLRP3, ASC, Caspase-1 and IL-1β expressions in PBMCs cells in the case group were higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). (2)The expression level of NLRP3 in stroke patients with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥ 8 points was significantly higher than that in patients without hypertension, hyperlipidemia and NIHSS score<8 points ( P<0.05); (3)The incidence of cognitive dysfunction in the case group was 34.09% (30/88). The MoCA scores of the cognitive dysfunction group and the non-cognitive dysfunction group were 20 (24, 28) and 27 (26, 28) points respectively, and the difference between the groups was statistically significant ( P<0.05); (4)Pearson correlation analysis showed that NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1 and IL-1β expression in PBMCs cells were negatively correlated with MoCA scores ( r=-0.426, -0.396, -0.417, -0.320 respectively, all P<0.05). (5)Logistic regression analysis showed that hyperlipidemia, NIHSS scores, frontotemporal lobe infarction, and NLRP3 expression were the influencing factors for the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Patients with acute ischemic stroke have high activated NLRP3 inflammasome, and its activation degree is closely related to the condition and the occurrence of cognitive dysfunction after stroke.Targeted inhibition or regulation of NLRP3 inflammasome activation may become a new idea of neuroprotection for acute ischemic stroke.
