Objective:To evaluate the effect of short-chain fatty acid(SCFA) on perioperative cognitive dysfunction in aged rats through mitogen-activated protein kinase p38(p38 MAPK)/nuclear factor-κB p65(NF-κB p65) pathway.Methods:According to random number table method, 32 healthy SPF-grade male SD rats, aged 16 months and weighing 520~620 g, were divided into control group, short-chain fatty acid group (SCFA group), perioperative cognitive dysfunction group (PCD group) and perioperative cognitive dysfunction+ short-chain fatty acid group (SCFA+ PCD group), with 8 rats in each group. The perioperative cognitive dysfunction model was established by sevoflurane anesthesia plus internal fixation of tibial fractures. Rats in SCFA group and SCFA+ PCD group freely drank water added with SCFA for 28 days. On the 29th day, rats in SCFA+ FCD group underwent tibial fracture internal fixation surgery. Morris water maze test was performed on the 7th day after surgery to evaluate the cognitive function of rats. The Nissl bodies of hippocampus were observed by Nissl's staining. The hippocampus tissue was collected to analyze the expressions of interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), p38 MAPK, phosphorylated p38 MAPK, NF-κB p65 and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 by Western blot.The SPSS 27.0 software was used for statistical analysis. One-way ANOVA was used for comparison among multiple groups, and LSD- t test was used for further pairwise comparison. Results:(1) The results of Morris water maze test showed that the times of crossing the original platform, the escape latency and the residence time in the original platform quadrant were statistically significant among the four groups on the 7th day after surgery ( F=13.80, 47.80, 6.46, all P<0.05). The escape latencies of the SCFA+ PCD group and PCD group were both longer than that in the control group (both P<0.05). The times of crossing the original platform in SCFA+ PCD group and PCD group were less than that of control group (both P<0.05). The residence time in the original platform quadrant in SCFA+ PCD group and PCD group was shorter than that of control group (both P<0.05).Compared with PCD group, the escape latency was shorter, the times of crossing the original platform were more and the residence time in the original platform quadrant was longer in SCFA+ PCD group (all P<0.05). (2) The expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6, phosphorylated p38 MAPK and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 were statistically significant among the four groups ( F=184.28, 139.27, 19.40, 58.47, all P<0.05). The expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6, phosphorylated p38 MAPK and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 were higher in SCFA+ PCD group (0.49±0.10, 0.60±0.05, 0.489±0.012, 0.435±0.005) and PCD group (0.85±0.05, 1.12±0.08, 0.519±0.028, 0.473±0.008) than those in control group (0.13±0.02, 0.42±0.10, 0.437±0.010, 0.362±0.013)(all P<0.05). The expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6, phosphorylated p38 MAPK and phosphorylated NF-κB p65 were lower in SCFA+ PCD group than PCD group (all P<0.05). (3) The average gray value of Nissl bodies was statistically significant different among the four groups ( F=14.65, P<0.05). The average gray value of Nissl bodies was lower in SCFA+ PCD group (193.2±8.1) and PCD group (160.5±14.1) than that of control group (221.2±14.8) (both P<0.05). The average gray value of Nissl bodies was higher in SCFA+ PCD group than that in PCD group( P<0.05). Conclusion:Short-chain fatty acid attenuates cognitive dysfunction, which may be related with inhibiting p38 MAPK/NF-κB p65 pathway and reducing the neuroinflammation.

Objective:To evaluate the role of meningeal γδ T cell-derived interleukin-17A (IL-17A) in postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in aged mice.Methods:Forty healthy male C57BL/6N mice, aged 18 months, weighing 30-40 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=10 each) using a table of random numbers: control group (group C), anti-γδ T cell receptor antibody (Anti-TCR γδ) group, POCD group (group P), and POCD+ Anti-TCR γδ group (group P+ Anti-TCR γδ). Anesthesia was induced with 8% sevoflurane and maintained with 3% sevoflurane, and the internal fixation for tibial fracture was performed to establish the mouse model of POCD in P and P+ Anti-TCR γδ groups. Anti-TCR γδ antibody 2.5 μg was infused into the occipital cistern on postoperative day 4 in P+ Anti-TCR γδ and Anti-TCR γδ groups. The open field test, novel object recognition test and Y-maze test were conducted sequentially at 7th day after surgery. The total distance traveled in the open field and the number of entries into the central area were recorded, and the novel object recognition index and preference index for exploring the novel arm were calculated. The mice were sacrificed at the end of the behavioral testing, the meninges were obtained for detection of the expression of IL-17A in γδ T cells by flow cytometry, and the hippocampal tissues were harvested for determination of the expression of vesicular glutamate transporter1 (VGLUT1), glutamate receptor 1 (GluR1), and IL-17A receptor (IL-17AR) (by Western blot). Results:There was no statistically significant difference in the total distance traveled in the open field test or the number of entries into the central area among the four groups ( P>0.05). Compared with group C, the novel object recognition index and preference index for novel arm exploration were significantly decreased, the expression of meningeal γδ T cells and IL-17AR in hippocampal tissues was up-regulated, and the expression of VGLUT1 and GluR1 was down-regulated in group P and group P+ Anti-TCR γδ ( P<0.05), and no significant change was found in the aforementioned parameters in group Anti-TCR γδ ( P>0.05). Compared with group P, the novel object recognition index and preference index for novel arm exploration were significantly increased, the expression of meningeal γδ T cells and IL-17AR was down-regulated, and the expression of VGLUT1 and GluR1 was up-regulated in group P+ Anti-TCR γδ ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Increased meningeal γδ T cell-derived IL-17A can up-regulate the expression of IL17AR in the hippocampus and down-regulate the expression of VGLUT1 and GluR1, thus involving in the development of POCD in aged mice.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of short-chain fatty acids on microglial synapse engulfment in aged rats with postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD).Methods:Forty-eight healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 18 months, weighing 520-650 g, were divided into 4 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), short-chain fatty acids group (group S), POCD group (group P), and POCD+ short-chain fatty acids group (group PS). Rats received short-chain fatty acids (sodium propionate 25.9 mmol/L, sodium butyrate 40 mmol/L and sodium acetate 67.5 mmol/L) in the free drinking water for 28 days in S and PS groups. On day 29, anesthesia was induced with 4%-5% sevoflurane and maintained with 3% sevoflurane, and the tibial fracture internal fixation was performed to prepare a rat model of POCD in P group and PS group. Morris water maze test was performed at day 7 after surgery. The escape latency, times of crossing the original platform, mean swimming speed and time spent in the original platform quadrant were recorded. The rats were sacrificed at the end of Morris water maze test, and the brains were collected to analyze the number and density of dendritic spines in the hippocampal CA1 region (by Golgi staining) and to determine the expression of postsynaptic density 95 (PSD95) and complement 1q (C1q) in the hippocampal CA1 region (by immunofluorescence). Results:Compared with group C, the times of crossing the original platform were significantly decreased, the time spent in the original platform quadrant was shortened, the escape latency was prolonged, the number and density of dendritic spines and the number of intersection points between dendrites and concentric circles were decreased, the expression of PSD95 was down-regulated, and the expression of C1q was up-regulated in P and PS groups ( P<0.05). Compared with group P, the times of crossing the original platform were significantly increased, the time spent in the original platform quadrant was prolonged, the escape latency was shortened, the number and density of dendritic spines and the number of intersection points between dendrites and concentric circles were increased, the expression of PSD-95 was up-regulated, and the expression of C1q was down-regulated in group PS ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The mechanism by which short-chain fatty acids attenuates POCD is related to decreased microglial engulfment of synapses in aged rats.

BackgroundFunctional near-infrared spectroscopy （fNIRS） is a new generation of imaging tool that can be used to assist the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders. However， whether the patterns of prefrontal cortex activation observed by fNIRS are specific for different psychiatric disorders remains to be explored. ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics of prefrontal cortex activation in patients with depression， anxiety disorder， bipolar disorder and schizophrenia in verbal fluency task （VFT） using fNIRS. MethodsFrom September to December 2021， 39 patients with schizophrenia， 205 patients with depressive disorder， 212 patients with anxiety disorder and 77 patients with bipolar disorder meeting the diagnostic criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders， fifth edition （DSM-5） were recruited in the outpatient and inpatient department of West China Hospital， Sichuan University. fNIRS was used to monitor the prefrontal cortex hemodynamic changes of patients under VFT， and the clinical symptoms of patients were assessed by Symptom Checklist 90 （SCL-90） and Hypomania Checklist-32 items（HCL-32）. Differences in mean oxyhemoglobin （HbO₂） concentration and the initial slope from 2 to 7 second during VFT were compared among patients with different diseases， and the correlation between mean HbO₂ concentration/initial slope and clinical symptoms was analyzed by partial correlation analysis. ResultsThe concentration of HbO₂ in channel 4 （Z=2.828， P=0.028） and channel 6 （Z=2.912， P=0.022） in patients with depression were significantly higher than those in patients with schizophrenia. Patients with anxiety had significantly higher changes in mean HbO₂ concentration in channel 4 （Z=3.154， P=0.010）， channel 5 （Z=3.021， P=0.015）， channel 6 （Z=2.980， P=0.017） and of all channels （Z=2.881， P=0.024） than those of schizophrenia patients. There was a statistically significant difference in the initial slope of channel 3 between patients with depressive disorder and those with bipolar disorder （Z=2.691， P=0.039）. Among patients with bipolar disorder， the anger-hostility scores of SCL-90 were negatively correlated with the mean HbO₂ concentration changes in channel 4 （r=-0.505， P=0.004）， channel 6 （r=-0.390， P=0.004）， channel 15 （r=-0.546， P=0.002）， channel 16 （r=-0.550， P=0.002） and the mean HbO₂ concentration changes of all channels （r=-0.491， P=0.006）. ConclusionPatients with schizophrenia had lower activation in frontopolar and orbitofrontal region than patients with depression and anxiety disorder， and the initial slope of the right frontopolar， inferior frontal and orbitofrontal region in patients with depression is higher than patients with bipolar disorder. In addition， patients with bipolar disorder had less activation in the frontopolar and orbitofrontal lobe， the insular cover of Broca's area and the upper outer frontal cortex， and were more irritable and hostile. ［Funded by 1·3·5 Project for Disciplines of Excellence-Clinical Research Incubation Project， West China Hospital， Sichuan University （number， ZYJC21083）］

【Objective】 To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of pelvic floor magnetic and electrical stimulation combined with Kegel exercise training in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) after minimally invasive surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). 【Methods】 A total of 52 patients with SUI after minimally invasive surgery for BPH treated during Jan.2016 and Feb.2022 were randomly divided into test group (n=26) and control group (n=26). The test group received pelvic floor magnetic and electrical stimulation and Kegel exercise training, while the control group received Kegel exercise training only. The treatment lasted for 3 months. The scores of International Consultation on Incontinence Modular Questionnaire Short Form (ICIQ-SF), 1 h pad test, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) and Incontinence Quality of Life Questionnaire (I-QoL) were recorded and compared between the two groups before and after treatment. The adverse reactions were observed. 【Results】 The scores of ICIQ-SF, IPSS and I-QoL and 1 h pad test significantly decreased in both groups after treatment (P<0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences of the above indicators between the two groups (P>0.05), but after treatment, the scores of ICIQ-SF,IPSS,I-QoL and 1 h pad test were significantly lower in the test group than in the control group (P<0.05). No severe adverse reactions were observed. 【Conclusion】 Pelvic floor magnetic stimulation combined with Kegel exercise training is safe and effective for SUI after minimally invasive surgery for BPH.

Objective:To validate the feasibility of a deep learning-based clinical target volume (CTV) auto-segmentation algorithm for cervical cancer in clinical settings.Methods:CT data sets from 535 cervical cancer patients were collected. CTVs were delineated according to RTOG and JCOG guidelines, reviewed by experts, and then used as reference contours for training (definitive 177, post-operative 302) and test (definitive 23, post-operative 33). Four definitive and 6 post-operative cases were randomly selected from the testing cohort to be manually delineated by junior, intermediate, senior doctors, respectively. Dice coefficient (DSC), mean surface distance (MSD) and Hausdorff distance (HD) were used for test and comparison between auto-segmentation and RO delineation. Meantime, auto-segmentation time and manual delineation time were recorded.Results:Auto-segmentation models of dCTV 1, dCTV 2 and pCTV 1 were trained with VB-Net and showed good agreement with reference contours in the testing cohorts (DSC, 0.88, 0.70, 0.86 mm; MSD, 1.32, 2.42, 1.15 mm; HD, 21.6, 22.4, 20.8 mm). For dCTV 1, the difference between auto-segmentation and all three groups of doctors was not significant ( P>0.05). For dCTV 2 and pCTV 1, auto-segmentation was better than the junior and intermediate doctors (both P<0.05). Auto-segmentation time consumption was considerably shorter than that of manual delineation. Conclusions:Deep learning-based CTV auto-segmentation algorithm for cervical cancer achieves comparable accuracy to manual delineation of senior doctors. Clinical application of the algorithm can contribute to shortening doctors′ manual delineation time and improving clinical efficiency. Furthermore, it may serve as a guide for junior doctors to improve the consistency and accuracy of cervical cancer CTV delineation in clinical practice.

Objective:To analyze the risk of missed diagnosis in patients with PI-RADS score>3 and negative prostate initial biopsy and to explore its risk factors.Methods:The clinical data of 268 patients with negative prostate biopsy in Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from May 2013 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into observation group (PI-RADS score>3) and control group (PI-RADS score≤ 3) according to different PI-RADS scores. There were insignificant differences in age [(67.4(60.0, 74.0)years and 65.6(66.5, 72.0)years], prostate volume of initial biopsy [62.4(40.0, 72.0)ml and 60.8(38.0, 77.0)ml], biopsy cores [ 20.6(18.0, 22.0)cores and 20.4(18.0, 22.0)cores] between the observation group (n=124) and the control group(n=144)(all P>0.05). But there were significant differences in PSA [17.5(6.5, 23.0)ng/ml and 11.5(6.3, 12.0)ng/ml], PSAD[0.316(0.128, 0.363)ng/ml 2 and 0.211(0.106, 0.256)ng/ml 2], prostate inflammation of the initial biopsy [70 (56.5%) and 32 (22.2%)] between the observation group and the control group(all P<0.05). According to the follow-up results after the initial biopsy, the two groups of repeated biopsy were compared.Furthermore, Logistic regression was used to conduct univariate and multivariate analysis to explore the risk factors of patients with PI-RADS>3 for positive repeated biopsy. At the same time, the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to analyze the accuracy of the risk factors. Results:There were significant differences in repeated biopsy rate [ 27.4%(34/124)and 14.6%(21/144)], CsPCa detection rate[ 41.4%(14/34) and 4.8%(1/21)]between the observation group and the control group(all P<0.05). The positive rate of repeated biopsy in the observation group (41.1%) was higher than that in the control group (23.8%), but there was no statistical difference ( P=0.248). The risk of positive repeated biopsies in the observation group was 2.24 times than that in the control group. Univariate analysis found repeated biopsy PSA ( P =0.02, OR=1.438, 95% CI 1.161-1.896), PSA ratio (repeated biopsy PSA/initial biopsy PSA) ( P=0.011, OR=10.087, 95% CI 1.714-59.36) were risk factors for positive of repeated biopsy in patients with PI-RADS score >3. Multivariate analysis also found that repeated biopsy PSA ( P=0.017, OR=1.15, 95% CI 1.076-2.123), PSA ratio ( P=0.032, OR=10.2, 95% CI 0.883-116.168) were risk factors for positive repeated biopsy. ROC curve analysis, the accuracy of repeated biopsy PSA (AUC=0.971, P<0.001, 95% CI 0.926-1.000), PSA ratio (AUC=0.839, P=0.001, 95% CI0.707-0.971) to predict positive of repeated biopsy were high. The cut-off values were 21.3 ng/ml and 1.4, respectively. The accuracy was higher when combines repeated biopsy PSA with PSA ratio (AUC=0.993, P<0.001, 95% CI 0.974-1.000). Conclusions:Patients with negative PI-RADS score > 3 have a higher risk of missed diagnosis of CsPCa than those with PI-RADS score≤3. When PSA>21.3 ng/ml and PSA ratio>1.4 during follow-up, the possibility of missed diagnosis in the initial biopsy is high.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of multimodal analgesia using periprostatic nerve block anesthesia (PNB) combined with flurbiprofen in patients undergoing transperineal template-guided prostate biopsy (TTPB). Methods: Totally 166 patients (aged (68.2±9.1) years, range: 47 to 81 years) who received TTPB from October 2017 to June 2018 at Department of Urology, Northern Jiangsu People′s Hospital Affiliated to Yangzhou University were enrolled prospectively. All the patients were randomly divided into 2 groups. The observation group (n=79) was given flurbiprofen axetil 1 mg/kg intravenously for half an hour before operation and lidocaine was used for PNB before the biopsy. The control group (n=87) was given normal saline combined with PNB. A visual analog scale (VAS) and visual numeric scale (VNS) were used to assess the patients′ pain and quantify their satisfaction at two time points: VAS-1 and VNS-1: during biopsy procedure, VAS-2 and VNS-2: 30 min after the procedure. The date were compared by t test, χ² test, Fisher exact test and two-way repeated measures anova analysis between the 2 groups. Results: The age, total prostate volume, serum prostate-specific antigen and the number of cores were comparable among the 2 groups (P>0.05). The VAS-1 scores of the control group and the observation group were 2.8±1.7, 1.9±1.2, respectively, and the VNS-1 were 3.1±0.7, 3.4±0.3, respectively. The VAS-1 were significantly lower in observation group than in control group (F=3.904, P=0.000). Conversely, the VNS-1 were higher in observation group (F=3.526, P=0.000). At 30-minute postoperative, the VAS-2 and VNS-2 were 0.7±0.4 and 3.7±0.2 in the control group, respectively. The VAS-2 and VNS-2 were 0.6±0.5 and 3.8±0.1 in the observation group, respectively. There were no significant differences in the pain scores or the satisfaction scores between the 2 groups (F=1.429, 2.825; P=0.136, 0.083). The incidence of overall complications was 26.4% (23/87) in the control group and 25.3% (20/79) in the observation group, with no statistical difference between the 2 groups (χ²=0.027, P=0.869). And the complications had no statistically significant difference among the 2 groups including hematuria, urinary retention, infection, hematospermia, vascular and neurological reactions, nausea, vomiting, dizziness, headache, and respiratory depression (P>0.05). Conclusion The multimodal analgesia induced by PNB and flurbiprofen could effectively relieve the pain for patients who received TTPB.
