ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of emergency management for severe mental disorders in Shanghai, and to provide countermeasures and suggestions for the establishment of a sound emergency management system for severe mental disorders and the enhancement of emergency management capability. MethodsA questionnaire survey and qualitative interviews were used to conduct an investigation into the emergency management in 17 district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai, which includes the basic situation of emergency management for severe mental disorders, the construction of emergency response teams and personnel, emergency preparedness drills and training, emergency management plans and rules and regulations, and problems encountered in emergency management. ResultsIn terms of emergency management mechanism and basic situation, resources such as personnel allocation, security funds and green channel were well equipped in each district-level mental illness prevention and control institution in Shanghai. However, the equipment of some hardware facilities was still insufficient to some extent. Therefore, further improvement on the emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders was needed. With regard to the construction of emergency team and personnel allocation, the majority were those aged between 35‒<45 years old, with a bachelor’s degree, and more than 10 years of working experience. For example, 90.27% staff in district-level mental illness prevention and control institution had a bachelor’s degree or above, which was higher than that among the staff in community-level (73.60%); staff majored in clinical medicine in district-level institution accounted for the proportion at 52.71%, higher than that among the staff in community-level (28.86%); 57.24% staff in district-level institution had an intermediate professional title, higher than that among the staff in community-level (42.28%); and 69.90% staff in district-level institution had more than 10 years of working experience, higher than that among the staff in community-level (43.62%). In the aspect of emergency drills and training, all district-level mental illness prevention and control institutions in Shanghai had a high demand for emergency training, and the weak aspects mainly focused on lack of emergency service protocols, skills of addressing technical challenges, and construction of effectiveness evaluation system. Moreover, the teaching methods were primarily centered on case analysis, simulation drills, interactive discussions, and so forth. Concerning emergency management plans and rules and regulations, all districts in Shanghai had relatively established well-developed systems for emergency response plans, emergency response leadership groups, and emergency response operational task forces for severe mental disorders. About half of the institutions had established other rules and regulations related to emergency management of severe mental disorders in addition to emergency plans. ConclusionShanghai has initially established an emergency management system for severe mental disorders, but it is still fragile in specialized training for emergency management of severe mental disorders, construction of emergency management mechanisms, and the building-up of grassroots emergency teams. Further priorities should include strengthening emergency management training, enhancing the construction of emergency management personnel teams, and gradually establishing a more comprehensive and integrated emergency management mechanism for severe mental disorders.

Objective:
To determine the active components of Eupolyphaga sinensis Walker (Tu Bie Chong) and explore the mechanisms underlying its fracture-healing ability.
Methods:
A modified Einhorn method was used to develop a rat tibial fracture model. Progression of bone healing was assessed using radiological methods. Safranin O/fast green and CD31 immunohistochemical staining were performed to evaluate the growth of bone cells and angiogenesis at the fracture site. Methylthiazoletetrazolium blue and wound healing assays were used to analyze cell viability and migration. The Transwell assay was used to explore the invasion capacity of the cells. Tubule formation assays were used to assess the angiogenesis capacity of human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). qRT-PCR was used to evaluate the changes in gene transcription levels.
Results:
Tu Bie Chong fraction 3 (TF3) significantly shortened the fracture healing time in model rats. X-ray results showed that on day 14, fracture healing in the TF3 treatment group was significantly better than that in the control group (P = .0086). Tissue staining showed that cartilage growth and the number of H-shaped blood vessels at the fracture site of the TF3 treatment group were better than those of the control group. In vitro, TF3 significantly promoted the proliferation and wound healing of MC3T3-E1s and HUVECs (all P < .01). Transwell assays showed that TF3 promoted the migration of HUVECs, but inhibited the migration of MC3T3-E1 cells. Tubule formation experiments confirmed that TF3 markedly promoted the ability of vascular endothelial cells to form microtubules. Gene expression analysis revealed that TF3 significantly promoted the expression of VEGFA, SPOCD1, NGF, and NGFR in HUVECs. In MC3T3-E1 cells, the transcript levels of RUNX2 and COL2A1 were significantly elevated following TF3 treatment.
Conclusion
TF3 promotes fracture healing by promoting bone regeneration associated with the RUNX2 pathway and angiogenesis associated with the VEGFA pathway.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of paliperidone palmitate treatment on schizophrenic patients in the community. Methods446 schizophrenic patients who used paliperidone palmitate injection were selected in Shanghai. Before and after the treatment, the disease family burden scale, the concise evaluation scale of drug treatment compliance, the VAS100 score of treatment satisfaction, the short form of quality of life measurement scale, and the screening scale of social function defects were used to evaluate the effects of paliperidone palmitate injection. The data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software. ResultsAfter using paliperidone palmitate injection, the total score of family burden (13.94±12.17), the score of daily family activities (3.26±2.74), the score of family entertainment activities (2.21±2.30), and the score of family relationship (2.79±2.76) were significantly higher than those before the treatment (14.98±12.64, 3.51±2.88, 2.48±2.38, 3.11±2.87, respectively, all with P<0.05). The scores of the World Health Organization on quality of life brief scale (62.89±11.94) and the medication compliance scale (28.11±5.64) were better than those before treatment (60.67±12.62 and 27.37±6.96, all with P<0.05). Compared with the prior treatment without paliperidone palmitate injection, the number of readmissions after treatment was significantly reduced (P<0.01). ConclusionThe treatment of paliperidone palmitate injection has significant effect, which can effectively reduce the disease family burden of Schizophrenic patients, improve their quality of life, enhance their drug compliance, reduce the readmission rate of patients, ensure long-term treatment effect and promote disease recovery.

Objective:To investigate the role of down-regulating serine racemase (SRR) in alleviating the β-amyloid peptide (Aβ) induced neurotoxicity and synaptic damage and possible mechanism in PC12 cells.Methods:(1) PC12 cells cultured in vitro were divided into 0, 20, 40 and 80 μmol/L Aβ 25-35 treatment groups; they were treated with 0, 20, 40 and 80 μmol/L Aβ 25-35 for 24 h, respectively; cell counting kit (CCK)-8 was used to detect the survival rate of cells in each group, and Western blotting was used to detect the SRR protein expression. PC12 cells were treated with 40 μmol/L Aβ 25-35 for 0, 12, 24 and 48 h, respectively; cell survival and SRR protein expression were detected by CCK-8 and Western blotting, respectively. (2) PC12 cells were divided into control group, nonsense sequence group, SRR small interfering RNA (siRNA) group 1, SRR siRNA group 2, and SRR siRNA group 3; cells in the later three groups were transfected with SRR nonsense sequence or different SRR siRNA sequences, respectively; 48 h after that, Western blotting was used to detect the SRR protein expression of cells in each group, and SRR siRNA with best effect was selected for subsequent experiments. (3) PC12 cells were divided into control group, AD group, AD+nonsense sequence group, and AD+SRR siRNA group; cells in the latter two groups were transfected with nonsense sequence or SRR siRNA for 48 h, respectively; cells in the latter three groups were added 40 μmol/L Aβ 25-35, and cells in the control group were added same amount of solvent; 24 h after treatment, the SRR protein expression was detected by Western blotting, cell survival was detected by CCK-8, cell apoptosis was detected by Hoechst 33258 fluorescent staining, Caspase 3 activity was detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, and the expressions of activated Caspase 3, N-methyl- D aspartate (NMDA) receptor-associated proteins and postsynaptic dense protein 95 (PSD95) were detected by Western blotting. Results:(1) The survival rate of cells in 0, 20, 40 and 80 μmol/L Aβ 25-35 treatment groups was successively decreased and the SRR protein expression was successively increased, with significant differences ( P<0.05); PC12 cells treated with 40 μmol/L Aβ 25-35 for 0, 12, 24 and 48 h had successively decreased survival rate and successively increased SRR protein expression, with significant differences ( P<0.05).

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of a series of ovarian metastases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma.Methods:Data of clinical manifestation, pathological characteristic, treatment and follow-up result from ten patients with ovarian metastases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma confirmed by pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Results:The median age of onset was 46 years (38~79 years). The primary tumors were located in the body and tail of the pancreas in 8 cases. Bilateral ovarian metastasis occurred in 8 patients at the time of diagnosis. The median time from patients with clinical symptom to ovarian metastases was 2.5 months (0~12 months). Peritoneal metastasis was found in all of 10 cases. Nine cases were accompanied by CA125 elevation. The major features of metastatic carcinoma in the ovary were cystic-solid appearance (8 cases) and mucinous adenocarcinoma (6 cases) with no obvious immunohistochemical features in pathological observation. All patients underwent palliative ovariectomy at onset, and one patient underwent primary tumor resection simultaneously. Seven patients received chemotherapy. The median survival time of the 10 patients was 10.3 months.Conclusions:Ovarian metastases of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma are easily misdiagnosed. The final diagnosis depends on clinical manifestations, imaging and histopathological observation. Ovariectomy may be associated with better outcome.
