Objective:To summarize the best evidence for exercise intervention in elderly patients with sarcopenia in intensive care unit (ICU) through literature search, and provide a reference for clinical implementation of early exercise intervention in this population through evidence-based practice.Methods:① Summary of best evidence: relevant literature on exercise intervention for elderly patients with sarcopenia in ICU, including guideline, evidence summary, expert consensus, systematic review, and original study [quasi-experiment and randomized controlled trial (RCT)] from UpToDate Clinical Advisor, Ovid database, National Guideline Clearinghouse (NGC), National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), Cochrane Library, Embase, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PubMed/Medline, SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang Database, VIP, and Yimai Tong Guideline Network were systematically searched. The search period covered from the establishment of these databases up to August 24, 2023. The quality of the literature was evaluated by two researchers with methodological expertise in evidence-based medicine, and the evidences were extracted and summarized. ② Evidence-based practice: the elderly patients with high risk of sarcopenia who had been hospitalized in the ICU for more than 7 days from January to April 2024 were enrolled as the research subjects, and they were divided into a control group and an intervention group using convenience sampling method. The control group received routine intensive care nursing. The intervention group implemented exercise intervention based on the actual situation of the patients, the baseline review was conducted before evidence application, and the effectiveness of evidence application at 7 days and 14 days was evaluated.Results:① A total of 19 pieces of literature were included, including 4 guidelines, 1 summary of evidence, 4 expert consensuses, 4 systematic reviews, and 6 original studies (1 quasi-experiment, 5 RCT). After literature quality evaluation, all 19 articles were enrolled. Finally, 31 pieces of best evidence were extracted from eight aspects, including assessment and diagnosis, multidisciplinary cooperation, indication, preparation before intervention, intervention program, safety monitoring, post-intervention evaluation, and special task. ② Finally, a total of 30 patients were enrolled in the intervention group, of which 17 completed 14 days of rehabilitation exercise, and 13 completed 7 days of rehabilitation exercise. Twenty-seven patients were enrolled in the control group, of which 17 completed 14 days of monitoring, and 10 completed 7 days of monitoring. Clinical evidence application results showed that the patients in the intervention group did not experience adverse events such as increased heart rate, extubation, or physical discomfort. The skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) in both groups was gradually decreased with the prolongation of intervention duration, but the 7-day SMI in the intervention group was significantly higher than that in the control group (kg/m 2: 8.61±2.66 vs. 6.65±1.50, P < 0.01). Conclusion:By summarizing the best evidence and evidence-based practice of exercise intervention for elderly patients with sarcopenia in ICU, this study confirmed the feasibility due to safe and effective of implementing early exercise intervention for elderly sarcopenia patients in ICU.

Anxiety disorders are one of the most epidemic and chronic psychiatric disorders. An incomplete understanding of anxiety pathophysiology has limited the development of highly effective drugs against these disorders. GPR17 has been shown to be involved in multiple sclerosis and some acute brain injury disorders. However, no study has investigated the role of GPR17 in psychiatric disorders. In a well-established chronic restraint stress (CRS) mouse model, using a combination of pharmacological and molecular biology techniques, viral tracing, in vitro electrophysiology recordings, in vivo fiber photometry, chemogenetic manipulations and behavioral tests, we demonstrated that CRS induced anxiety-like behaviors and increased the expression of GPR17 in basolateral amygdala (BLA) glutamatergic neurons. Inhibition of GPR17 by cangrelor or knockdown of GPR17 by adeno-associated virus in BLA glutamatergic neurons effectively improved anxiety-like behaviors. Overexpression of GPR17 in BLA glutamatergic neurons increased the susceptibility to anxiety-like behaviors. What's more, BLA glutamatergic neuronal activity was required for anxiolytic-like effects of GPR17 antagonist and GPR17 modulated anxiety-like behaviors via BLA to ventral hippocampal CA1 glutamatergic projection. Our study finds for the first and highlights the new role of GPR17 in regulating anxiety-like behaviors and it might be a novel potential target for therapy of anxiety disorders.

Purpose:
The unique chromosomal rearrangements of endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) make it possible to distinguish high-grade ESS (HGESS) and low-grade ESS (LGESS) from the molecular perspective. Analysis of ESS at the genomic and transcriptomic levels can help us achieve accurate diagnosis of ESS and provide potential therapy options for ESS patients.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 36 ESS patients who conducted DNA- and/or RNA-based next-generation sequencing were retrospectively enrolled in this study. The molecular characteristics of ESS at genomic and transcriptomic levels, including mutational spectrum, fusion profiles, gene expression and pathway enrichment analysis and features about immune microenvironment were comprehensively explored.
Results:
TP53 and DNMT3A mutations were the most frequent mutations. The classical fusions frequently found in HGESS (ZC3H7B-BCOR and NUTM2B-YWHAE) and LGESS (JAZF1-SUZ12) were detected in our cohort. CCND1 was significantly up-regulated in HGESS, while the expression of GPER1 and PGR encoding estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR) did not differ significantly between HGESS and LGESS. Actionable mutations enriched in homologous recombination repair, cell cycle, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin pathways were detected in 60% of HGESS patients. Genes with up-regulated expression in HGESS were significantly enriched in five immune-related pathways. Most HGESS patients (85.7%) had positive predictors of immunotherapy efficacy. Moreover, immune microenvironment analysis showed that HGESS had relatively high immune infiltration. The degree of immune infiltration in HGESS patients with ZC3H7B-BCOR fusion was relatively higher than that of those with NUTM2B-YWHAE fusion.
Conclusion
This study investigated the molecular characteristics of ESS patients at the genomic and transcriptomic levels and revealed the potentially high sensitivity of targeted therapy and immunotherapy in a subset of HGESS with specific molecular features, providing a basis for guiding decision-making of treatment and the design of future clinical trials on precision therapy.

Objective:To explore the effect of health management based on constitution identification in perimenopausal women.Methods:From November 2020 to April 2021, 244 perimenopausal women from Doumen Street, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing were selected as the research subject by convenience sampling method, and divided into the control group (121 cases) and the observation group (123 cases) according to their respective communities. The control group adopted routine health management, while the observation group implemented health management based on constitution identification on the basis of routine health management. Three months after intervention, the perimenopausal symptom scores between the two groups were compared. One year after intervention, the number of individuals with biased constitution and quality of life scores between the two groups were compared.Results:Three months after intervention, the scores of hot flashes, sweating, insomnia, dizziness, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, headache, palpitations, and total score of perimenopausal symptom of the observation group were lower than those of the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). Three months after intervention, there were no significant differences in scores of paraesthesia, mood swings, depressive suspicion, skin ant sensation, sexual difficulties, urinary tract infection between the observation group and the control group ( P>0.05). One year after intervention, the number of individuals with biased constitution of the observation group was less than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). One year after intervention, the scores of physical health, mental health, social relationship, and total score of quality of life of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). One year after intervention, there was no statistically significant difference in the score of the surrounding environment between the observation group and the control group ( P>0.05) . Conclusions:Health management based on constitution identification can improve the perimenopausal symptoms of perimenopausal women, gradually change their biased constitution towards a calm constitution, and improve their quality of life.

ObjectiveTo understand the health-related life quality and its influencing factors in elderly community residents in Shanghai, and to provide reference for improving their life quality. MethodsDuring April to June 2021, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in five selected community health care centers, from Baoshan District, Minhang District, Songjiang District and Pudong New District of Shanghai, respectively. The elderly residents aged 65 and over who received physical examination were face-to-face interviewed using EQ-5D-5L scale. SPSS 26.0 and Stata 16 were used for statistical analysis. Binary logistic regression, multiple linear regression and Tobit regression were used to analyze influencing factors of each dimension in EQ-5D scale, EQ-VAS score and health utility value. ResultsA total of 1302 elderly residents were included in the study, and the proportions of problems in the five dimensions of EQ-5D-5L scale were pain/discomfort (13.9%), mobility (9.1%), daily activity (5.8%), self-care ability (4.8%) and anxiety/depression (3.6%), while age was a factor influencing problems in each dimension. The average score of EQ-VAS was 84.28±10.32, and the average health utility value based on Chinese population was 0.97±0.08, which was higher than the rest of the country. Tobit regression analysis showed that female (t=-3.96, P<0.001), age group over 75 (t=-5.28, P<0.001), high school education or above (t=-2.53, P=0.012), chronic disease (t=-5.12, P<0.001) had poor quality of life (P<0.05). ConclusionThe overall quality of life of the elderly in Shanghai community is good, but the quality of life in the elderly women and in the group suffering from chronic diseases is relatively poor. It is necessary to pay more attention to the key populations to improve their health status.

ObjectiveTo observe the behavioral and pain threshold alterations, as well as the changes in indexes related to depression and pain in the serum and central system in mice stressed by maternal separation and chronic neuropathic pain, and explore the underlying mechanism of Wenyang prescription (WY), Jieyu prescription (JY), and Wenyang Jieyu prescription (WYJY) in improving depression and pain sensitivity. MethodThe birth date of mice was recorded as PD0. After birth, the mice were divided into a blank group and an experimental group. The neonatal mice in the experimental group underwent maternal separation in PD5-14 at 8 h·d-1. After ablactation, the mice were divided into a maternal separation group, a WY group (Erxian decoction, 5.84 g·kg-1), a JY group (Xiaoyaosan, 12.00 g·kg-1), a WYJY group (16.68 g·kg-1), and a fluoxetine group (2.60 mg·kg-1), with 15 mice in each group. Meanwhile, 15 male mice of the same age without maternal separation were assigned to the normal control group. Mice in the blank group and the maternal separation group were fed on a regular chow diet in PD21-PD90, while the remaining groups were fed on the corresponding drugs. In PD91, sciatic nerve ligation was performed to induce a model of maternal separation and chronic neuropathic pain. The open field test was used to observe the depression-like behaviors of mice in each group, and the mechanical and temperature pain thresholds were measured to detect the pain sensitivity of mice in each group. The serum levels of corticosterone (CORT), substance P, and β-endorphin (β-EP) were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the expression of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in the amygdala and β-EP protein in the hypothalamus was detected by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expression levels of amygdala GR gene (Nr3c1), FK506 binding protein 5 gene (FKBP5), metabolic glutamate receptor 5 gene (GRM5), and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(Real-time PCR). ResultCompared with the blank group, the maternal separation group showed reduced stay time and total distance traveled in the 5-min open field test (P<0.01), reduced mechanical pain threshold (P<0.01), increased serum CORT and β-EP (P<0.01), declining FKBP5 mRNA expression (P<0.01), and increased hypothalamic β-EP expression (P<0.05). Compared with the maternal separation group, the groups with drug intervention showed prolonged stay time (P<0.05, P<0.01) and up-regulated pain thresholds to different degrees. The total distance traveled in the 5-min open field test increased in the WY group, the WYJY group, and the fluoxetine group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The JY group showed decreased serum CORT (P<0.01), reduced β-EP , and increased BDNF mRNA (P<0.01). Nr3c1 and GRM5 mRNA decreased in the WY group (P<0.05, P<0.01). The WYJY group showed decreased serum CORT (P<0.05)and decreased Nr3c1, GRM5, and BDNF mRNA (P<0.05, P<0.01). The levels of β-EP expression were elevated to different degrees in the groups with drug intervention, but the differences were not significant. The levels of GR expression in the WY group, the JY group, and the WYJY group increased (P<0.05). ConclusionWYJY can inhibit central pain sensitization and regulate hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal gland (HPA) axis function by enhancing the expression of GR in the amygdala and inhibiting neuroplasticity and excitability in the amygdala to relieve depression-like behaviors and improve somatic hyperalgesia.

Objectives:To investigate the value of histopathological growth patterns (HGP) in predicting the 3-year progression free survival (PFS) after resection the liver metastasis from patients with colorectal cancer.Methods:The clinicopathological data of the 111 patients with liver metastasis of colorectal cancer diagnosed at Peking University People′s Hospital, Beijing, China from January 2007 to January 2017 were analyzed. After excluding the patients who did not meet the inclusion criteria, a total of 80 patients were analyzed. According to the international expert consensus on HGP, the HGP types of liver metastasis were evaluated. The correlation between HGP and other clinicopathological factors was analyzed using χ 2 or Fisher test. Kaplan-Meier survival curve was used to examine 3-year PFS in the patients with liver metastasis of colorectal cancer by HGP. The independent risk factors of 3-year post-resection PFS were determined using univariable and multivariable analyses. Results:A total of 80 cases were analyzed, including 43 cases of desmoplastic type (54%), 32 cases of replacement type (40%), 3 cases of pushing type (4%), and 2 cases of mixed type (2%). There was no correlation of HGP with age, gender, time of metastasis, tumor burden, histological grade, mucous differentiation or microsatellite instability. The 3-year post-resection PFS of the patients with desmoplastic type was significantly longer than that of patients with replacement type. The univariable and multivariable analyses showed that HGP was an independent prognostic factor.Conclusions:The HGP of colorectal cancer metastases to the liver mainly present as desmoplastic and replacement types. HGP is an independent prognostic factor for the patients with liver metastasis of colorectal cancer after resection of the metastasis. Therefore, HGP should be clearly indicated in the pathological report to help guide clinical treatments.

Objective:To investigate the status and influencing factors of enteral nutrition support in late preterm infants (34-36 +6 gestational weeks) treated in different grades of hospitals in Beijing. Methods:This was a prospective study involving late preterm infants treated in 25 hospitals in Beijing from October 2015 to October 2017. Data about nutritional management and nutrition-related complications were recorded. Exclusive breastfeeding status of the infants by gestational age(GA) and hospital levels was analyzed. The achievement of full enteral feeding and the potential influencing factors were also analyzed. t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), Kruskal-Wallis test and Chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Logistic regression and Cox regression analysis were used in multivariate analysis. Results:(1) A total of 1 463 late preterm infants with GA of 35.6±0.8 (ranging from 34.9 to 36.1) weeks was enrolled in this study. Compared with the infants with GA of 35-35 +6 and 36-36 +6 weeks, those born at 34-34 +6 gestational weeks had longer hospital stay [10 (8-13) vs 8 (7-10) and 7 (6-9) d, both P<0.05], greater loss of minimum weight [4.3% (2.6%-6.3%) vs 3.8% (2.0%-5.6%) and 3.3% (1.9%-5.5%), both P<0.05], higher incidence of apnea [5.3% (20/369) vs 2.1% (12/566) and 1.3% (7/528), both P<0.05] and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) [7.1% (28/369) vs 3.0% (17/566) and 3.2% (17/528), both P<0.05], and lower percentage of failure to regain birth weight at discharge [32.5% (120/369) vs 38.7% (219/566) and 47.9% (253/528), both P<0.05]. Only the incidence of premature rupture of membranes among all maternal complications during pregnancy had statistical difference between 34-34 +6, 35-35 +6 and 36-36 +6 GA groups [6.2% (23/369) vs 12.7% (72/566) and 11.9% (63/528), χ2=10.244, P=0.007]. (2) The rate of enteral feeding increment in hospital was 13.7 (10.5-17.3) ml/(kg·d) and 46.0% (673/1 463) of the infants were fed formula. The exclusive breastfeeding rate increased from 4.5% (66/1 463) during hospitalization to 14.4% (211/1 463) at discharge. The breastfeeding rate at discharge varied widely among the 25 hospitals ( χ2=327.893, P<0.001) ranging from 32% to 0. (3) Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that gestational diabetes mellitus ( OR=2.426, 95% CI: 1.075-5.437, P=0.033) and premature rupture of membranes ( OR=8.726, 95% CI: 1.193-63.802, P=0.033) were the prenatal risk factors influencing the exclusive breastfeeding in late preterm infants. Enteral nutrition achieving 150 ml/(kg·d) and 120 kcal/(kg·d) (1 kcal=4.184 kJ) were noted for 28.4% (416/1 463) and 19.2% (281/1 463) of the late preterm infants at discharge, respectively. Cox regression analysis showed that hospital grades ( HR=1.470, 95% CI: 1.030-2.098, P=0.034), the length of hospital stay ( HR=1.162, 95% CI: 1.097-1.231, P<0.001), birth weight ( HR=0.946, 95% CI: 0.898-0.995, P=0.003), exclusive breastfeeding ( HR=2.354, 95% CI:1.031-5.374, P=0.042), feeding intolerance ( HR=3.677, 95% CI: 1.201-11.253, P=0.023), parenteral nutrition ( HR=1.900, 95% CI: 1.379-2.616, P<0.001), and the rate of enteral feeding advancement ( HR=1.426, 95% CI: 1.369-1.484, P<0.001) were independent factors associated with full enteral feeding at discharge. Conclusions:Exclusive breastfeeding rate in late preterm infants is low and enteral nutrition support varies greatly in different hospitals. The rate of enteral feeding increment is slow for hospitalized late preterm infants and most fail to achieve full enteral feeding at discharge. Gestational diabetes mellitus and premature rupture of membranes are prenatal risk factors affecting breastfeeding of late preterm infants. Those with low birth weight, exclusive breastfeeding in hospital, feeding intolerance, parenteral nutrition support, longer hospital stay or rapid enteral feeding advancement are more likely to achieve full enteral feeding at discharge.

OBJECTIVE:
To carry out genetic testing for a XXY fetus suggested by non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).
METHODS:
G-banding karyotyping, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) were performed on amniocytes from the fetus. The genitalia of the fetus was also examined by Doppler ultrasonography. The result was verified with peripheral blood samples from its parents and a brother.
RESULTS:
The fetus was found to have a 46,XX karyotype. CMA showed presence of sequences from Yp11.2 (2.635 Mb) and Yp11.31p11.2 (3.706 Mb). FISH assay suggested that the SRY fragment on Yp has translocated to Xpter. No karyotypic or pathogenic CNVs was detected in its parents and brother. The fetus was ultimately diagnosed with 46,XX (SRY positive) male syndrome.
CONCLUSION
The combination of G-banding karyotyping, FISH, and CMA is of great significance for attaining accurate prenatal diagnosis for this fetus.
