Dyskinesia-hyperpyrexia syndrome(DHS)is an acute hyperpyrexia syndrome that is different from Parkinsonism-hyperpyrexia syndrome and serotonin syndrome in patients with advanced Parkinson's disease(PD),with the main symptoms of high fever,disturbance of consciousness,elevated creatine kinase,and dyskinesia. Syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone(SIADH)is a clinical syndrome caused by excessive secretion of antidiuretic hormone,which leads to the symptoms of dilutional hyponatremia,water retention,and increases in urine sodium and urine osmotic pressure. DHS has not received widespread attention in clinical practice,and there are rare reports of DHS comorbid with SIADH. This article reports the diagnosis and treatment processes of a case of DHS comorbid with SIADH and reviews the relevant literature,in order to guide the diagnosis and treatment of PD-related critical diseases.

ObjectiveTo explore the typical behavior characteristics of children with autism in symbolic play and the value of Symbolic Play Test (SPT) in the early identification of autism. MethodsFrom November, 2021 to September, 2022, a total of 260 children with language problems were collected from Department of Children's Health Care of Binzhou Medical University Hospital. A total of 193 children with autism were as observation group and 67 normal children were as control group. All children played symbolic games. The typical behavioral characteristics of children with autism in SPT were explored, and a reliability and validity analysis based on the results of SPT was conducted. They were assessed with the adaptive and personal social scores of Gesell Development Scale, and the correlation of the scores of Gesell Development Scale and the score of SPT was analyzed. ResultsThe Cronbach's α coefficient of SPT of children with autism was 0.835 to 0.935, and the total score of SPT, the scores of surrogate object, fictional attribute and fictional object were positively correlated with each other (r > 0.607, P < 0.001). The SPT scores decreased in the observation group (t > 9.615, P < 0.001), and SPT score positively correlated with adaptability and personal-social development quotient (r > 0.609, P < 0.001). ConclusionTypical behavior of children with autism can be reflected in symbolic play, and SPT can provide clues for early identification of autism.

Objective:To evaluate the distribution characteristics of choroidal vascularity index (CVI) in macula among normal children using swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT), and to investigate the influencing factors.Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted.Sixty-three children aged 6 to 12 years were enrolled in The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from May 2021 to November 2021.Spherical equivalent refraction, axial length (AL) and other ocular biological parameters were measured.Macula-centered CVI and choroidal thickness (ChT) were measured by SS-OCT angiography.According to the ETDRS partition, the obtained image was divided into macular central fovea (0-1 mm diameter), inner ring (1-3 mm diameter) and outer ring (3-6 mm diameter) zones.Data from the right eye were selected for statistical analysis.CVI in the three rings and four zones (superior, temporal, inferior and nasal zones) of the inner and outer rings were compared.Univariate and multiple linear regression analyses were used to analyze the correlation between CVI and sex, AL, anterior chamber depth (ACD), ChT and pupil diameter.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (No.2021-KY-0399-003). Written informed consent was obtained from each guardian.Results:The average CVI in the macular central fovea, inner ring and outer ring were 0.35±0.12, 0.32±0.10 and 0.27±0.08, respectively, with a significant difference ( F=10.96, P<0.001), and significant differences in CVI were found in pairwise comparisons of the three ring zones (all at P<0.05). Significant differences in CVI were found among superior, temporal, inferior and nasal zones in inner and outer rings ( Fring=11.60, P=0.001; Fzone=12.02, P<0.05). The CVI was smaller in superior and nasal zones in inner ring than in temporal zone, greater in superior, temporal and inferior zones in outer ring than in nasal zone, smaller in superior zone of outer ring than that of the inner ring, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.001). The single factor linear regression analysis showed that ChT in the fovea, inner ring and outer ring were the influencing factors of CVI in the three ring zones (all at β=0.001, P<0.001). Pupil diameter ( β=0.034, P=0.038; β=0.040, P=0.003; β=0.024, P=0.011) and ACD ( β=0.097, P=0.034; β=0.097, P=0.013; β=0.061, P=0.032) were the influencing factors of CVI in fovea, inner ring and outer ring.After multiple linear regression analysis, the regression equations were established as follows: CVI in the macular fovea=0.001×ChT in the macular fovea + 0.001×ChT in the inner ring+ 0.001×ChT in the outer ring-0.301 ( R2=0.514, F=6.875, P<0.001); CVI in the inner ring=0.001×ChT in the macular fovea+ 0.001×ChT in the inner ring+ 0.001×ChT in the outer ring+ 0.088×AL-0.307 ( R2=0.603, F=9.870, P<0.001); CVI in the outer ring=0.001×ChT in the macular fovea+ 0.001×ChT in the inner ring+ 0.001×ChT in the outer ring-0.135 ( R2=0.601, F=9.781, P<0.001). Conclusions:In children aged 6-12 years old, the CVI is higher in the macular central fovea than in inner and outer rings, and the CVI in nasal zone is the smallest in both inner and outer rings.The thicker the ChT, the higher the CVI in all zones in the macular area; the deeper the anterior chamber, the higher the CVI in the inner ring.

Radix Bupleuri(RB)is commonly used to treat depression,but it can also lead to hepatotoxicity after long-term use.In many anti-depression prescriptions,RB is often used in combination with Radix Paeoniae Alba(RPA)as an herb pair.However,whether RPA can alleviate RB-induced hepatotoxicity remain unclear.In this work,the results confirmed that RB had a dose-dependent antidepressant effect,but the optimal antidepressant dose caused hepatotoxicity.Notably,RPA effectively reversed RB-induced hepatotoxicity.Afterward,the mechanism of RB-induced hepatotoxicity was confirmed.The results showed that saiko-saponin A and saikosaponin D could inhibit GSH synthase(GSS)activity in the liver,and further cause liver injury through oxidative stress and nuclear factor kappa B(NF-KB)/NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3(NLRP3)pathway.Furthermore,the mechanisms by which RPA attenuates RB-induced hepatotoxicity were investigated.The results demonstrated that RPA increased the abundance of intestinal bacteria with glycosidase activity,thereby promoting the conversion of saikosaponins to sai-kogenins in vivo.Different from saikosaponin A and saikosaponin D,which are directly combined with GSS as an inhibitor,their deglycosylation conversion products saikogenin F and saikogenin G exhibited no GSS binding activity.Based on this,RPA can alleviate the inhibitory effect of saikosaponins on GSS activity to reshape the liver redox balance and further reverse the RB-induced liver inflammatory response by the NF-κB/NLRP3 pathway.In conclusion,the present study suggests that promoting the conversion of saikosa-ponins by modulating gut microbiota to attenuate the inhibition of GSS is the potential mechanism by which RPA prevents RB-induced hepatotoxicity.

The RSD of precision, repeatability and stability experiment was less than 4%, 3%and 3%. The results of HPLC showed that the contents of six flavonoidsin Sojae Semen Praeparatum increased significantly compared with black beans. And, the contents of six flavonoids in finished Sojae Semen Praeparatum were slightly more than those in semifinished Sojae Semen Praeparatum. Conclusion The HPLC method established in this study could accurately determine the content of 6 isoflavones in Sojae Semen Praeparatum. The content of six isoflavones in black beans could be increased by the fermentation, and the combined isoflavones were transformed into free isoflavones during the fermentation process.

Objective:To estimate the deaths and life expectancy losses attributed to diet with high salt in Shandong province.Methods:Based on 24 h urinary sodium and blood pressure levels from the final evaluation survey of Shandong-Ministry of Health Action on Salt and Hypertension Project (SMASH) in 2016 and death cause data from Shandong Mortality Surveillance System, the population attributable fractions (PAF) and the deaths due to high-salt diet were calculated based on the framework of comparative risk assessment and the life expectancy loss was calculated by life table method.Results:A total of 32 987 deaths caused by high-salt diets were reported in 2016, accounting for 11.74% of related disease deaths and 4.95% of all deaths. The proportion of deaths due to high-salt diet in men (13.51%) was higher than that in women (9.17%). Cardiovascular diseases were the major causes of deaths due to high salt diet, accounting for 90.82% of all disease deaths caused by high-salt diets. The other causes were gastric cancer (8.10%) and chronic kidney disease (1.08%). The PAF in urban residents (13.87%) was higher than that in rural residents (10.87%). A loss of 0.58 years of the life expectancy were attributed to the high-salt diet. The different diseases caused by high-salt diet had different effects on life expectancy loss, ischemic heart disease ranked first, followed by cerebral hemorrhage and cerebral infarction.Conclusions:The proportion of deaths attributed to high-salt diets was high in Shandong. Cardiovascular diseases were the most important causes of deaths caused by high-salt diets. High-salt diet is still seriously affecting the health of residents in Shandong, indicating that salt reduction interventions need to be strengthened.

Objective:To investigate the infrequent gene mutations of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF in colorectal cancer and their clinical significance.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopathological data of 1 513 patients with colorectal cancer who were admitted to the Peking University Cancer Hospital from December 2013 to November 2018 were collected. There were 921 males and 592 females, aged from 15 to 97 years, with an average age of 59 years. The genomic DNA of tumor tissue was extracted, and the mutation status of KRAS (exon 2, 3), NRAS (exon 2, 3) and BRAF (exon 15) was detected by the Sanger sequencing. Observation indicators: (1) mutation status of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF; (2) relationship of different mutation status of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF with clinicopathological characteristics; (3) infrequent mutation status of single gene and its clinicopathological characteristics; (4) simultaneous mutations of two genes and their clinicopathological characteristics. Count data were expressed by absolute numbers or percentages, and comparison between groups was analyzed by the chi-square test.Results:(1) Mutation status of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF: the mutation rates of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF were 37.806%(572/1 513), 3.173%(48/1 513) and 5.486%(83/1 513) of the 1 513 patients with colorectal cancer, respectively. The mutation rates of exon 2 and exon 3 in KRAS were 35.889%(543/1 513) and 1.917%(29/1 513), respectively. The mutation rates of exon 2 and exon 3 in NRAS were 1.322%(20/1 513) and 1.851%(28/1 513), respectively. The mutation rate of exon 15 in BRAF was 5.486%(83/1 513).

Peritoneal metastasis is one of the most frequent metastatic patterns of advanced gastric cancer, but the mechanism underlying remains unclear. The 'seed and soil’ theory is now well recognized for peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer at present. The combination of various cells, extracellular matrix, and ascites components within the abdominal cavity provide a suitable microenvironment for the plantation, infiltra-tion, growth and metastasis of gastric cancer cells. Fully under-standing of peritoneal microenvironment will help to diagnose the peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer and tumor recurrence, and provide theoretical basis for the development of drugs targeting peritoneal microenvironment. The authors review the main cell formation, ascites and immune microenvironment involved in the formation of the peritoneal microenvironment based on relevant literatures at home and abroad, and investigate the relationship between peritoneal microenvironment and peritoneal metastasis of gastric cancer.

Accurate tumor targeting, deep penetration and superb retention are still the main pursuit of developing excellent nanomedicine. To achieve these requirements, a stepwise stimuli-responsive strategy was developed through co-administration tumor penetration peptide iRGD with shape-transformable and GSH-responsive SN38-dimer (d-SN38)-loaded nanoparticles (d-SN38@NPs/iRGD). Upon intravenous injection, d-SN38@NPs with high drug loading efficiency (33.92 ± 1.33%) could effectively accumulate and penetrate into the deep region of tumor sites with the assistance of iRGD. The gathered nanoparticles simultaneously transformed into nanofibers upon 650 nm laser irradiation at tumor sites so as to promote their retention in the tumor and burst release of reactive oxygen species for photodynamic therapy. The loaded d-SN38 with disulfide bond responded to the high level of GSH in tumor cytoplasm, which consequently resulted in SN38 release and excellent chemo-photodynamic effect on tumor.
