Parkinson's disease （PD）， with its incidence increasing year by year and its onset age gradually becoming younger， has become a major chronic multisystem movement disorder that threatens public health. The microbiota-gut-brain axis （MGBA） is a bidirectional communication system connecting the enteric nervous system and the central nervous system. Its core functions rely on the synergistic interactions among gut microbiota， neural signal transmission， endocrine regulation， and immune interactions， and it plays an indispensable role in maintaining gut-brain dynamic homeostasis， regulating neurotransmitter metabolism， and modulating inflammatory responses. Current studies have found that the gut microbiota of patients with PD exhibits dual dysbiosis characterized by the enrichment of opportunistic pathogens and beneficial bacteria， accompanied by abnormal metabolite levels， which accumulate and trigger neuroinflammation， demonstrating the pivotal regulatory role of the MGBA in the early pathology of PD. Furthermore， this article summarizes Chinese medicines， their active components， and compound formulas that may prevent and treat PD through intervention in the MGBA. These agents can modulate microbial composition， suppress inflammation and oxidative stress， protect the intestinal barrier， and ameliorate dopaminergic neuron damage. By systematically summarizing the central mechanisms of the MGBA in PD and reviewing the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） mediated regulation of this pathway in PD intervention， this article aims to provide a theoretical reference for the clinical prevention and treatment of PD and scientific research design.

Objective:To explore the dynamic effects of venous sinus stenting (VSS) implantation on the optic nerve structure and visual function in patients with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH).Methods:Patients with IIH combined with venous sinus stenosis and optic disc edema who were admitted to the Beijing Tiantan Hospital and received VSS treatment from January 2019 to September 2023 were prospectively included. Before the operation, the general data of the patients were collected and lumbar puncture examination was performed to measure the cerebrospinal fluid pressure. Ophthalmic multimodal imaging examinations such as binocular best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), optic disc stereoscopic photography, visual field, and optical coherence tomography (OCT) were performed respectively before the operation, 3 months and 6 months after the operation. The BCVA of both eyes, the Frisén grade (FPG) of optic disc edema, the mean defect (MD) value of the visual field, the thickness of the retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) around the optic disc and the thickness of the optic ganglion cell complex (GCC) were collected respectively. The eye with poor preoperative visual field MD value was defined as the study eye, and the other eye was the contralateral eye. The Friedman rank sum test was used to statistically analyze the differences of various indicators before the operation, 3 months after the operation and 6 months after the operation. Further, the Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to pairwise compare the results at the three time points.Results:A total of 72 patients with IIH who met the criteria were included, among whom 61 were female (84.7%), and the baseline optic disc edema Frisén grade was 3(2-4). The FPG, BCVA, MD values and RNFL thickness of the study eye and the contralateral eye at 3 and 6 months after the operation were significantly improved compared with those before the operation (all P<0.017). At 6 months after the operation, the FPG, BCVA, MD value, RNFL thickness of the study eye and the FPG and RNFL thickness of the contralateral eye were further improved compared with those at 3 months, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.017). During the treatment and follow-up period, no serious adverse reactions occurred in all patients. Conclusions:VSS can effectively improve papillary edema and visual function impairment in patients with IIH combined with venous sinus stenosis. Ophthalmic multimodal imaging examination provides an objective basis for preoperative assessment of optic nerve structure and visual function, postoperative efficacy monitoring and visual function recovery, etc. In the diagnosis and treatment process of IIH, the collaborative cooperation between the neurology department and the ophthalmology department is very important.

The fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda, is a destructive pest native to America and has recently become an invasive insect pest in China. Because of its rapid spread and great risks in China, understanding of FAW genetic background and pesticide resistance is urgent and essential to develop effective management strategies. Here, we assembled a chromosome-level genome of a male FAW (SFynMstLFR) and compared re-sequencing results of the populations from America, Africa, and China. Strain identification of 163 individuals collected from America, Africa and China showed that both C and R strains were found in the American populations, while only C strain was found in the Chinese and African populations. Moreover, population genomics analysis showed that populations from Africa and China have close relationship with significantly genetic differentiation from American populations. Taken together, FAWs invaded into China were most likely originated from Africa. Comparative genomics analysis displayed that the cytochrome p450 gene family is extremely expanded to 425 members in FAW, of which 283 genes are specific to FAW. Treatments of Chinese populations with twenty-three pesticides showed the variant patterns of transcriptome profiles, and several detoxification genes such as AOX, UGT and GST specially responded to the pesticides. These findings will be useful in developing effective strategies for management of FAW in China and other invaded areas.

Objective: To evaluate of the specificity of a new norovirus (NoV) detection method of in situ capture real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (ISC-RT-qPCR) and to apply the method for the detection of NoVs in fresh strawberry. Methods: A panel of stool samples with different NoV genotypes and various inoculums were used for the experiments. Results: We found that all the tested samples of eight genogroup Ⅱ (GⅡ) NoVs could be detected specifically by ISC-RT-qPCR. Moreover, in contrast to the conventional RT-qPCR method , the situation that the Ct value increased as the inoculum of NoV GⅡ decreased was not shown using ISC-RT-qPCR. When we tested NoVs in strawberry samples by ISC-RT-qPCR, the minimum test limit could reach 1.36 genocopy/10 g of fresh strawberry. Conclusions ISC-RT-qPCR is an effective and specific technic and it could be applied for the detection of infectious NoVs from stool samples and fresh strawberry samples.

BACKGROUND:There is a high morbidity after spinal cord injury, and the therapeutic strategy is limited to early surgical intervention, medication and post-treatment exercise that only can improve the motor function slightly. However, there is no effective cure method. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of partition-type spinal cord catheter combined with bone marrow stromal stem cels on T8 spinal cord transection damage in rats. METHODS:Fifty rats were randomized into five groups (n=10 per group): group I, T8 spinal cord transection (5 mm) was made in rats with no treatment; group II, the partition-type tube was inserted into the injured site after modeling; group III, partition-type tube combined with bone marrow stromal stem cels was implanted into the injured site after modeling; group IV, partition-type tube combined with polyglycolic acid fibers was implanted into the injured site after modeling; group V, partition-type tube combined with bone marrow stromal stem cels and polyglycolic acid fibers was implanted into the injured site after modeling. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 2 and 12 weeks postoperatively, Basso, Beattie and Bresnahan scores were significantly higher in the groups III and IV than the groups I, II, IV (P < 0.05). At 12 weeks postoperatively, the latency of motor evoked potential below the injury plane was significantly decreased in group V compared with groups I, II, III, IV (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemical results displayed that in the groups III and V, regenerated nerve fibers grew positively and arranged orderly among the tubes, and there was no obvious winding phenomenon. Under transmission electron microscopy, a certain number of myelinated nerve fibers were found as bridges among groups. These findings indicate that the partition-type chitosan tube combined with bone marrow stromal stem cels has a good connection with the injured spinal cord a good connection to restore part of electrophysiological properties, accelerate the axon regeneration, recover the motor function, thereby providing a new direction for the treatment of spinal cord injury.
