Sigma-1 receptor (σ ₁R) has become a focus point of drug discovery for central nervous system (CNS) diseases. A series of novel 1-phenylethan-1-one O-(2-aminoethyl) oxime derivatives were synthesized. In vitro biological evaluation led to the identification of 1a, 14a, 15d and 16d as the most high-affinity (K _i < 4 nmol/L) and selective σ ₁R agonists. Among these, 15d, the most metabolically stable derivative exhibited high selectivity for σ ₁R in relation to σ ₂R and 52 other human targets. In addition to low CYP450 inhibition and induction, 15d also exhibited high brain permeability and excellent oral bioavailability. Importantly, 15d demonstrated effective antipsychotic potency, particularly for alleviating negative symptoms and improving cognitive impairment in experimental animal models, both of which are major challenges for schizophrenia treatment. Moreover, 15d produced no significant extrapyramidal symptoms, exhibiting superior pharmacological profiles in relation to current antipsychotic drugs. Mechanistically, 15d inhibited GSK3β and enhanced prefrontal BDNF expression and excitatory synaptic transmission in pyramidal neurons. Collectively, these in vivo proof-of-concept findings provide substantial experimental evidence to demonstrate that modulating σ ₁R represents a potential new therapeutic approach for schizophrenia. The novel chemical entity along with its favorable drug-like and pharmacological profile of 15d renders it a promising candidate for treating schizophrenia.

Objective:To investigate the clinical value of puncture biopsy for the diagnosis of vessels that encapsulate tumor clusters (VETC) and macrotrabecular-massive (MTM) subtypes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).Methods:One hundred and eighty-four patients with HCC who underwent surgical resection at the Fifth Medical Centre of Chinses PLA General Hospital from November 2023 to July 2024 were prospectively collected, including 154 males and 30 females, aged (57.1±8.6) years. By simulating the clinical puncture procedure, puncture biopsy tissue specimens were obtained postoperatively from the patient's isolated tumors. The puncture biopsies and surgical resection specimens were stained with HE and CD34, and evaluated for VETC and MTM. Patients were divided into two groups based on the histopathological VETC results of surgically resected specimens: the VETC-positive group ( n=41) and the VETC-negative group ( n=143); and two groups based on the histopathological MTM results of surgically resected specimens: the MTM-positive group ( n=39) and the MTM-negative group ( n=145). Clinical data such as gender, age, tumor length, and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) were recorded. Logistic regression analysis was performed to screen the risk factors of VETC and MTM. Evaluating the diagnostic efficacy of puncture biopsy for VETC and MTM. Results:The results of multivariable logistic analysis showed that puncture biopsy VETC-positive ( OR=63.97, 95% CI: 16.28-251.29), grade of M2 microvascular invasion ( OR=5.07, 95% CI: 1.31-19.59) and tumor length ≥5 cm ( OR=3.42, 95% CI: 1.11-10.52) were the risk factors for VETC-positive (all P<0.05); whereas the risk factors for MTM-positive were only puncture biopsy MTM-positive ( OR=34.78, 95% CI: 12.06-100.29, P<0.001). Puncture biopsy correctly diagnosed VETC subtype in 163 patients with a diagnostic accuracy of 0.89, sensitivity of 0.61, specificity of 0.97, positive predictive value (PPV) of 0.83, and negative predictive value (NPV) of 0.90; MTM subtype was correctly diagnosed in 164 patients with a diagnostic accuracy of 0.89, sensitivity of 0.72, specificity of 0.94, PPV of 0.76, and NPV of 0.93. Using the three indicators of puncture biopsy diagnosis, tumor length and AFP level as a combined indicator, the accuracy to diagnose VETC was 0.83, sensitivity was 0.71, specificity was 0.87, PPV was 0.60, and NPV was 0.91; and the combined indicator diagnosis of MTM had a diagnostic accuracy of 0.85, a sensitivity of 0.82, specificity of 0.86, PPV of 0.68 and NPV of 0.95. Conclusion:Puncture biopsy has high specificity and accuracy in the diagnosis of VETC and MTM subtypes, but the sensitivity is relatively limited, and the role of puncture combined with clinical factors in improving diagnostic efficacy is limited.

Objective: To understand the characteristics of injury cases in Longhua District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province from 2021 to 2024, so as to provide the evidence for the development of injury prevention and control measures. Methods: The data of injury cases in the first visit due to injury in the sentinel hospitals of Longhua District from 2021 to 2024 were collected from the Shenzhen Injury Surveillance System. The time, cause, place, activity, intention, nature, position, severity, and outcome of injury were described. Results: From 2021 to 2024, a total of 167 524 injury cases were reported in Longhua District, with a male-to-female ratio of 1.89∶1. The incidence of injuries was higher in cases aged 30-<45 years (49 957 cases, 29.82%). Injuries mainly occurred from July to August (31 272 cases, 18.67%). The main cause of injury was falls (52 048 cases, 31.07%). Injuries mainly occurred at home (64 110 cases, 38.27%). Leisure activities were the main activities when injuries occurred (79 008 cases, 47.16%). Most of the injuries were unintentional (159 173 cases, 95.02%). The main type of injury was contusion/abrasion (71 900 cases, 42.92%). The main injury site was upper limb (64 247 cases, 38.35%). Most injuries were mild (131 369 cases, 78.42%). The main injury outcome was discharge after treatment, 160 882 cases (96.04%). The second cause of male injury was blunt force injury (30 140 cases, 27.49%), and the second cause of female injury was animal injury (14 648 cases, 25.31%). Fall was the leading cause of injury in people aged 0-<15 years and ≥65 years, and blunt force injury was the leading cause of injury in people aged 15-<65 years. The second place for male injuries was industrial and construction places (23 722 cases, 21.64%), and for female injuries was school/public places (9 644 cases, 16.66%). The first place for injuries in people aged 45-<65 years was in industrial and construction places. The proportions of fractures, moderate injuries, and hospitalizations increased with age (all P<0.05). Conclusions The main injury cases in Longhua District were males and people aged 30-<45 years. July and August were a period of high risk for injuries. People aged 0-<15 years and ≥65 years were the high-risk groups of falls. More attention should be paid to the fracture risk in the elderly.

ObjectiveTo investigate the characteristics of injury deaths and its disease burden in Taizhou City from 2009 to 2022, and to provide a basis for the prevention and control of injury. MethodsBased on the injury death surveillance data of Taizhou City from 2009 to 2022, the age-specific and sex-specific mortality rates, as well as the standardized mortality rates after adjusting China’s standardized population age of residents in Taizhou City were calculated. The crude mortality rate, standardized mortality rate, average years of life lost(AYLL), potential years of life lost (PYLL) and potential years of life lost rate (PYLLR) were calculated using Excel 2013 software. Joinpoint 4.2 software was used to estimate the annual percentage change (APC) and analyze the trends of injury mortality and PYLLR from 2009 to 2022. ResultsFrom 2009 to 2022, the standardized mortality rate of injuries in Taizhou City showed a decreasing trend (APC=-4.876%, P<0.001), with a mortality rate of 64.38/100 000 and a standardized mortality rate of 66.68/100 000. There was a statistically significant difference in injury deaths by genders (χ²=7 520.153, P<0.001). From 2009 to 2022, the PYLL and AYLL caused by injuries in Taizhou City were 587 518 person years and 21.91 years, respectively, with a PYLLR of 7.72%. The PYLLR of injuries showed a decreasing trend (APC=-7.454%, P<0.001), in addition, the PYLLR in urban(APC=-7.123%), rural areas (APC=-10.193%), males (APC=-7.595%) and females (APC=-7.046%) all showed a decreasing trend, all differences were statistically significant(all P<0.001). The top five causes of injury deaths leading to PYLL were traffic accident, drowning, accidental fall, suicide and accidental poisoning. ConclusionIn the last decade, injury has been a major cause leading to premature death among residents in Taizhou, with a higher mortality rate in males than that in females, and different injury characteristics caused by different types of injuries. It is necessary to take targeted injury prevention and intervention measures for different key population groups to effectively reduce the disease burden caused by injury deaths.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of anterolateral thigh perforator flap (ALTPF) in treatment of extensive wound of Degree IV burns in limbs.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on 9 patients who had extensive wound of Degree IV burns in limbs caused by stove burns admitted to Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery, the 988th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force of the Chinese PLA between January 2017 and January 2024. Among the patients, there were 8 males and 1 female, aged between 36 and 63 years. Three patients had the wound from anterior leg to dorsal foot, 3 from leg down to ankle, 1 from forearm to hand and 2 from arm to forearm. Area of burns ranged from 20 cm × 15 cm to 30 cm × 25 cm, and all patients were treated by free ALTPF. According to whether the main artery at the recipient site was feasible for direct anastomosis with the vessels carried in flap, 4 patients were treated by bilateral parallel ALTPFs, and 5 were treated by unilateral ultra-long internally supercharged ALTPF. A total of 13 ALTPFs were harvested, with individual flap size at 20 cm × 8 cm to 46 cm × 12 cm. Donor sites were directly sutured. Time for flap harvesting, flap survival and wound healing time were records. Scheduled postoperative follow-up was conducted at outpatient clinic and via telephone interviews to evaluate functional recovery. Follow-up assessments included evaluation of flap condition, two-point discrimination (TPD), recovery of joint function at recipient sites, flap appearance and donor site recovery.Results:The time for flap harvest was 1.0 to 4.5 hours. All 13 ALTPFs successfully survived. The time from surgery to healing of recipient sites was 18 to 72 days, and all donor sites healed. Over the postoperative follow-up that lasted for 6 to 34 months, the recipient sites had found with good cosmetic outcomes, without osteomyelitis or deep tissue infection. Four ALTPFs in 2 patients were found swelling, which were revised at 6 months after surgery. Four ALTPFs in other 2 patients had pigment deposition at edges. One ALTPF was scalded, which healed after dressing changes but left with patchy scars. The remaining ALTPFs were soft, elastic, free from pain and well-perfused, with regained protective sensation at S 3. However, all of the ALTPFs failed to detect TPD. Six patients with lower limb injuries were evaluated using the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle hindfoot scoring system: 2 patients were rated as excellent and 4 were rated as good. Three patients with upper limb injuries were evaluated using Evaluation Trial Standards of Upper Limb Partial Functional of Hand Surgery of Chinese Medical Association: 1 patient was rated as excellent and 2 were rated as good. Only linear scars left at the 13 donor sites, with normal blood supply to the distal limbs, and without restrictions in range of motion of knee joints nor muscle strength of quadriceps. Conclusion:The ALTPF offers advantages such as anatomical consistency, reliable blood supply and flexible combination in treatment of extensive wound of Degree Ⅳ burns in limbs. It is an ideal surgical procedure for treatment of large soft tissue defects of extremities.

Objective:To explore the clinical efficacy of the first dorsal metatarsal artery pedicled lateral toe bilobed flap in repairing the finger pulp defects of two adjacent fingers.Methods:This study was a retrospective observational study. From January 2018 to December 2022, 9 patients with finger pulp defects in two adjacent fingers who met the inclusion criteria were admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of the 988 th Hospital of Joint Logistics Support Force of PLA, including 6 males and 3 females, aged 26 to 48 years. The injured fingers were the index finger and middle finger (5 cases) or the middle finger and ring finger (4 cases). After debridement, the wound area of a single finger ranged from 1.2 cm×0.8 cm to 3.2 cm×2.8 cm. The finger pulp defects of two adjacent fingers were repaired with the first dorsal metatarsal artery pedicled lateral toe bilobed flap, and the two adjacent fingers were sutured together. The area of single flap ranged from 1.5 cm×1.0 cm to 3.5 cm×3.0 cm. The wound in the flap donor site was sutured directly or repaired with full-thickness skin graft from the groin region. The finger separation surgery was performed 3 weeks after surgery. The survival and blood supply of flaps, and survival of skin grafts and wound healing of the donor sites were observed after surgery. During follow-up, the texture, sliding, and shape of the flap, movement function of the finger, and the shape and function of the foot donor site were observed. At the last follow-up, the sensory of the flap was evaluated according to the sensory evaluation standard of the British Medical Research Council, and the hand function was evaluated according to the functional evaluation trial standard for severed finger replantation of the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association. Results:After surgery, all the flaps of 9 patients survived without vascular crisis. The flaps were soft in texture and good in shape. One patient had partial necrosis at the edge of the skin graft in the toe, and the wound healed after dressing change; the skin grafts in the toe in the other 8 patients survived, and the wounds healed well. During follow-up of 12 to 18 months after surgery, the flaps had soft texture, good elasticity, low sliding, and good shape. The finger movement function was normal. The wound in foot donor site recovered well without ulceration and deformity, and walking was not affected. At the last follow-up, the sensation of the flaps was sensitive, of which 8 flaps reached S3 and 10 flaps reached S3 + in sensation, and the two-point discrimination distance of the flaps was 9-13 mm. The functional scores of the affected fingers were 85 to 95, all of which were excellent. Conclusions:The first dorsal metatarsal artery pedicled lateral toe bilobed flap can repair finger pulp defects of two adjacent fingers at the same time, and the appearance, sensation, and function of the affected fingers recovered well after surgery, with less damage to the foot donor site. It is one of good methods to repair finger pulp defects of two adjacent fingers in clinic.

Objective:To investigate the early predictors of respiratory depression in patients with glufosinate poisoning, and provide reference for clinicians to make decisions.Methods:In March 2022, the clinical data of patients with glufosinate poisoning admitted to the intensive care unit of the Affiliated Xiangshan Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from March 2018 to January 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into respiratory depression group and non-respiratory depression group according to the occurrence of respiratory depression during hospitalization. The clinical data such as age, gender, past history, intake, initial treatment and laboratory examination were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the predictors of respiratory depression in patients with glufosinate poisoning, and its predictive value was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:A total of 34 patients with glufosinate poisoning were enrolled, including 13 patients in non-respiratory depression group and 21 patients in respiratory depression group. There were significant differences in intake, blood amylase and bicarbonate radical in arterial blood gas between the two groups ( P<0.05). Respiratory depression occurred at 6.5-48.0 h after ingestion, with a median of 15.0 (9.5, 24.0) h. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the intake of glufosinate ( OR=1.440, 95% CI: 1.033-2.009, P=0.032) and bicarbonate radical in arterial blood gas ( OR=0.199, 95% CI: 0.040-0.994, P=0.049) were predictors of respiratory depression in patients with glufosinate poisoning, and the area under the curve (AUC) of ROC curves were 0.936 and 0.842. The optimal cut-off values were 15.0 g (sensitivity=95.2%, specificity=76.9%) and 17.6 mmol/L (sensitivity=71.4%, specificity=84.6%), respectively. Conclusion:The intake of glufosinate and bicarbonate radical in arterial blood gas have good prediction effects on the occurrence of respiratory depression in patients with glufosinate poisoning.
