Objective:To investigate the characteristics of β and γ oscillations in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients with levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID).Methods:Seventeen patients with advanced idiopathic PD received subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) from August 2019 to June 2021 at Department of Neurosurgery, First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were enrolled; 11 patients were without LID before surgery (PD group) and 6 patients were with LID before surgery (LID group). Preoperative electrophysiological data of the STN, including Area under power spectral density (PSD-AUC), burst amplitude and duration of β and γ oscillations, were compared between the two groups.Results:PSD-AUC of β oscillation at 25-35 Hz in the PD group (60.39±1.00) was significantly increased compared with that in the LID group (54.33±0.55), whereas the PSD-AUC of γ oscillation at 65-85 Hz in the LID group (97.31±1.84) was significantly increased compared with that in the PD group (41.52±7.42, P<0.05). The aburst mplitude and duration of β oscillation in the PD group were significantly increased compared with those in the LID group ([8.52±1.00] au] vs. [1.09±0.13] au, [13 344±2 069] ms vs. [1 442±128] ms, P<0.05), while the burst amplitude and duration of γ oscillation in the LID group were significantly higher than those in the PD group ([5.03±0.55] au vs. [0.14±0.01] au, [12 276±5 011] ms vs. [1 741±233] ms, P<0.05). Conclusion:The imbalance of β-γ oscillations in the STN is associated with LID pathophysiology.

Objective To observe the effect of knee arthroscopic enlarged valve resection(AEVR)combined with cyst wall resection(CWR)on popliteal cyst.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 80 patients with popliteal cyst from June 2022 to June 2023.They were divided into two groups based on different surgical methods.Group A received 39 cases of traditional open cystectomy(TOC),while group B received 41 cases of AEVR-CWR.The perioperative indicators,length of hospital stay,pain status,knee joint function,knee joint range of motion,popliteal cyst grading,postoperative complications,and cyst survival were compared between the two groups.Results The surgical bleeding volume,total incidence of postoperative complications,and residual cyst rate at 6 months after surgery in group B were lower than those in group A,the incision length,and hospital stay in group B were shorter than those in group A,surgery time in group B was longer than that in group A,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).After surgery,the visual analogue scale(VAS)of both groups was lower than that before surgery,and group B was lower than group A,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).After surgery,the Lysholm score of both groups were higher than that before surgery,and group B was higher than group A,the knee range of motion of both groups were greater than that before surgery,and group B was greater than group A,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).After surgery,the Rauschning-Lindgren grading of both groups was better than that before surgery,and group B was better than group A,the difference was statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion The combination of AEVR and CWR can reduce surgical bleeding,shorten incision length and hospital stay,alleviate pain,improve knee joint range of motion,knee joint function,and grading of popliteal cysts,reduce the total incidence of postoperative complications and the residual rate of cysts at 6 months after surgery,but the surgery time has been extended.

OBJECTIVE Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS)is a fetal neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive loss of upper and lower motor neu-rons,leading to skeletal muscle atrophy,weakness,and paralysis.Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in ALS pathogenesis,including the familial forms of the disease arising from mutations in the gene coding for superox-ide dismutase(SOD1).Additionally,the abnormal accu-mulation of TAR DNA-binding protein of 43 ku(TDP-43)is a pathological feature present in almost all patients,even though the pathogenesis of ALS is unclear.Current-ly,there is no drug that can cure ALS/FTLD.Tetramethyl-pyrazine nitrone(TBN)is a derivative of tetramethylapyr-azine,derived from traditional Chinese medicine Ligusti-cum chuanxiong,which has been extensively proven to have therapeutic effects on various models of neurode-generative diseases.METHODS We investigated the therapeutic effect of TBN in the SOD1G93A and TDP-43M337V ALS mouse models.In the SOD1G93A trans-genic mouse model,TBN was administered to mice via intraperitoneal or intragastric injection after the onset of motor deficits.We injected the TDP-43M337V virus into the striatum of mice unilaterally and bilaterally,and then administered TBN 30 mg·kg-1 intragastrically to observe changes in behavior and survival rate of mice.RESULTS TBN slowed the progression of motor neuron disease,as evidenced by improved motor performance,reduced spi-nal motor neuron loss and associated glial response,and decreased skeletal muscle fiber denervation and fibrosis.TBN treatment activated mitochondrial antioxidant activity through the PGC-1α/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway and decreased the expression of human SOD1.In the mice with unilateral injection of TDP-43M337V into the striatum,TBN improved motor deficits and cognitive impairment in the early stages of disease progression.In mice with bilateral injection of TDP-43M337V into the striatum,TBN not only improved motor function but also prolonged survival.Moreover,we demonstrate that its therapeutic effect may be through activation of the Akt/mTOR/GSK-3β and AMPK/PGC-1α/Nrf2 signaling pathways.CONCLUSION TBN shows promise as an agent for the treatment of ALS/FTLD.TBN is currently undergoing clinical investigation for several indications,including a Phase Ⅱ trial for ALS.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of chromosome karyotype analysis, chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) and whole exome sequencing (WES) in microcephaly.Methods:A total of 9 cases of microcephaly fetuses diagnosed by prenatal ultrasound or children with microcephaly diagnosed after birth were selected from the Sixth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2014 to August 2022.Karyotype analysis and/or CMA were used to detect. The cases with negative karyotype analysis and CMA results were further sequenced by trio-based WES (Trio-WES). Then the coding genes contained in the pathogenic copy number variation (CNV) fragments were analyzed by gene ontology (GO) enrichment. The genes related to the development of the central nervous system contained in the pathogenic CNV and the pathogenic genes found by Trio-WES were combined for gene interaction network analysis.Results:In this study, 9 cases of microcephaly were recruited, with the time of diagnosis ranged from 23 weeks of gestation to 7 years after birth, and the head circumference of fetus or children ranged from 18.3 to 42.5 cm (-7SD to -2SD). Karyotype analysis was detected in all 9 cases and no abnormality result was found. Eight cases were detected by CMA, and one abnormal was found. Five cases were detected by Trio-WES, and two cases were detected with likely pathogenic genes. The GO enrichment analysis of the coding gene in the 4p16.3 microdeletion (pathogenic CNV) region showed that: in biological process, it was mainly concentrated in phototransduction, visible light; in terms of molecular function, it was mainly concentrated in fibroblast growth factor binding; in terms of cell components, it was mainly concentrated in rough endoplasmic reticulum. Gene interaction network analysis suggested that CDC42 gene could interact with CTBP1, HTT and ASPM gene.Conclusions:CMA could be used as a first-line detection technique for microcephaly. When the results of chromosome karyotype analysis and/or CMA are negative, Trio-WES could improve the detection rate of pathogenicity of microcephaly.

Objective To quantify operation characteristics of the ankle rotating-traction-poking manipulation (RTPM) for treating acute lateral ankle sprain by using motion capture technology, so as to provide objective references for standardized operation of RTPM and its education inheritance. Methods A professional physiotherapist performed the RTPM on 60 volunteers with acute lateral ankle sprain. Motion capture system was used to acquire effective kinematic data during the RTPM, so as to make analysis and summarize rules. Results The average time of ankle rotating for six circles was 11.36 s and the average time of ankle traction and poking was 3.42 s. The average displacement of ankle traction was 36.94 mm and the average displacement of ankle poking was 22.44 mm. The average angle of ankle traction was 23.27°, and the average angle of ankle poking was 22.76°. During the RTPM for treating acute lateral ankle sprain, the average linear velocity of ankle rotating was 58.28 mm/s, and the average linear velocity of ankle traction and poking was 23.81 mm/s. The linear acceleration of ankle rotating was 0.43 mm/s2, and the linear acceleration of ankle traction and poking was 0.54 mm/s2. Conclusions The RTPM can be applied in clinical practice. During the RTMP, the principle of gentleness, rhythmicity and continuity should be followed. Under the premise of following physiological characteristics of ankle joint, treatment of the sprained ankle should be carried out with slow and uniform speed continuously.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) remains a great challenge in treatment due to pathological complexity. It has been proven that phytomedicines and natural medicines have prominent antidiabetic effects. This work aimed to develop selenium-layered nanoparticles (SeNPs) for oral delivery of mulberry leaf and extracts (MPE), a group of phytomedicines with significant hypoglycemic activities, to achieve a synergic antidiabetic effect. MPE-loaded SeNPs (MPE-SeNPs) were prepared through a solvent diffusion/ reduction technique and characterized by particle size, potential, morphology, entrapment efficiency (EE) and drug loading (DL). The resulting MPE-SeNPs were 120 nm around in particle size with EE of 89.38% for rutin and 90.59% for puerarin, two marker components in MPE. MPE-SeNPs exhibited a slow drug release and good physiological stability in the simulated digestive fluid. After oral administration, MPE-SeNPs produced significant hypoglycemic effects both in the normal and diabetic rats. intestinal imaging and cellular examinations demonstrated that MPE-SeNPs were provided with outstanding intestinal permeability and transepithelial transport aptness. It was also revealed that MPE-SeNPs could alleviate the oxidative stress, improve the pancreatic function, and promote the glucose utilization by adipocytes. Our study provides new insight into the use of integrative nanomedicine containing phytomedicines and selenium for DM treatment.
