Objective:To analyze the effects of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection on gene expression and signaling pathways in preauricular somatic cells, and to explore potential intervention approaches for neonatal hearing loss caused by CMV infection.Methods:CMV infection data (GSE234062) were retrieved and downloaded from the GEO database. R studio software was used to analyze the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) between the CMV-infected group and the control group. ExpressAnalyst and String tools were employed to analyze the enrichment of DEGs in signaling pathways, biological processes, molecular functions, and protein-protein interactions.Results:After CMV infection of preauricular somatic cells, the expression levels of viral RNA and green fluorescent protein (GFP) RNA increased significantly. Meanwhile, 233 genes were upregulated and 123 genes were downregulated post-infection. Signaling pathway analysis showed that the upregulated genes were mainly enriched in pathways such as calcium ion channels, GABA synapses, morphine addiction, and cGMP-PKG, while the downregulated genes were primarily enriched in pathways including focal adhesion, extracellular matrix (ECM)-receptor interaction, amebiasis, and proteoglycans in cancer. Biological process analysis revealed that the upregulated genes were closely associated with neuron development and cell maturation, whereas the downregulated genes were mainly involved in actin filament-dependent processes, tissue development, and vascular development. Molecular function enrichment analysis indicated that the upregulated genes were mainly clustered in sequence-specific DNA binding, RNA polymerase Ⅱ distal enhancer binding, and G protein-coupled amine receptor activity, while the downregulated genes were closely related to molecular functions such as actin binding, structural molecule activity, and extracellular matrix structure.Conclusions:CMV infection can activate calcium ion channel and GABA synaptic pathways, and impair focal adhesion and ECM-receptor interaction pathways in preauricular somatic cells. This suggests that targeting these related pathways may help alleviate neonatal hearing impairment caused by CMV infection.

Objective:To analyze the status of registration of clinical trials of radiopharmaceuticals in China, and to provide reference for the development and clinical application of radiopharmaceuticals.Methods:By searching the clinical trial registration and information disclosure platform of the Center for Drug Evaluation of the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA), the data on clinical trials of radiopharmaceuticals registered from 2014 to 2024 were collected and analyzed for trial design, administered dose, common indications, and geographical distribution.Results:A total of 77 clinical trials were included. The Compound Annual Growth Rate for the number of projects from 2014 to 2024 was 40%. Diagnostic radiopharmaceuticals were predominantly based on 18F and 99Tc m, while therapeutic radiopharmaceuticals primarily utilized 177Lu and 90Y. All indications were concentrated in the field of oncology. Regarding trial design, non-randomized (71.4%), open-label (89.6%), and single-arm (66.2%) trials accounted for the highest proportions. Geographical distribution showed Beijing (29 trials), Shanghai (18 trials), and Jiangsu province (14 trials) as the regions with the highest concentration of clinical trials. Conclusions:Radiopharmaceutical clinical trials in China have shown rapid growth. However, research remains predominantly focused on oncology, with a relatively high proportion of early-stage trials. In order to fully utilize the potentials of radiopharmaceuticals and improve the quality of clinical trials, nuclear medicine researches should broaden therapeutic applications, implement prudently administerd dose in clinical trials, and implement optimized radiation protection procedures across all clinical trial centers.

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.

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.

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.
