BACKGROUND:Endogenous neurogenesis and exogenous stem cell transplantation in the brain show great therapeutic potential for neurological diseases including ischemic stroke,repairing and replacing lost neurons,promoting synaptic remodeling,and inhibiting apoptosis.Traditional Chinese medicine and compound therapy for supplementing qi,activating blood circulation and inducing resuscitation for the treatment of neurological dysfunction after ischemia have certain advantages,targeting nerve repair through a variety of ways,including promoting endogenous neurogenesis and exogenous stem cell survival,proliferation,homing,and inducing neuronal differentiation. OBJECTIVE:To summarize the mechanism of traditional Chinese medicine and compound for supplementing qi,activating blood circulation and inducing resuscitation to promote nerve repair in the acute phase of ischemic stroke,in order to provide a reference for the research and treatment of new drugs in ischemic stroke. METHODS:The articles from CNKI and PubMed databases about traditional Chinese medicine and compound for supplementing qi,activating blood circulation and inducing resuscitation in promotion of nerve repair in the acute phase of ischemic stroke from 2010 to 2022 were searched,with"supplementing qi and activating blood circulation;inducing resuscitation;traditional Chinese medicine(TCM);compounds;ischemic stroke;nerve repair;stem cells"as Chinese and English search terms.After excluding old and duplicate views,the retrieved literature was analyzed and collated,and a total of 124 articles were included for analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The definition of stem cells,ischemic stroke and the nerve repair pathway in the acute phase of ischemic stroke were sorted out.(2)The mechanism of action of traditional Chinese medicine and compound for supplementing qi,activating blood circulation and inducing resuscitation to promote nerve repair in the acute phase of ischemic stroke was summarized,mainly including promoting stem cell proliferation,improving stem cell viability and survival rate,promoting nerve cell homing,inducing stem cell differentiation to neurons,inhibiting apoptosis of nerve cells,promoting axon regeneration,regulating angiogenesis and remodeling,improving the level of neurotrophic factors and repairing the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.(3)Through the existing research,the relevant factors and signaling pathways of traditional Chinese medicines and compounds for supplementing qi,activating blood circulation and inducing resuscitation to promote nerve repair in the acute phase of ischemic stroke were summarized,such as Nestin protein expression,DCX protein expression,brain-derived neurotrophic factor,vascular endothelial growth factor and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,Notch signaling pathway,PI3k/Akt signaling pathway,BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway and ERK/MAPK signaling pathway.It provides a relevant reference for future research on ischemic stroke-specific drugs and new clinical treatment methods.

BACKGROUND:Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease,which often leads to the death of neurons in the brain and spinal cord.The pathogenesis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is extremely complex,with high refractory rate and mortality rate.There are only two kinds of drugs for its treatment,so it is urgent to develop new treatment methods to improve the prognosis of patients. OBJECTIVE:To review the mechanism of Chinese medicine and mesenchymal stem cells regulating the immune response in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. METHODS:"Traditional Chinese medicine,medical stem cells,ALS,immune response"were Chinese and English search terms.Articles were retrieved from WanFang,CNKI,PubMed,Web of Science and other databases from 2010 to 2023.Finally,69 articles were included for review. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)The article summarizes in detail the five mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine regulating the immune response in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis:mainly including the promotion of expression of closed zone protein-1 and closed protein-5 by traditional Chinese medicine such as borneol and astragaloside IV to rebuild the integrity of the blood central nervous system barrier.Fufangteng Mixture can regulate the receptor molecules on the surface of the natural killer cells to inhibit their autotoxicity.The complement system factors such as Scutellaria barbata and patchouli can inhibit their abnormal activation.Tripterygium wilfordii and Uncaria rhynchophylla inhibit the activation of microglia by mediating the production of extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 attenuated inducible nitric oxide synthase.Zuogui Pill and Trichosanthes kirilowii Root promote the expression of interleukin-10 and regulate T cells to improve the immune environment.(2)Through existing research,five mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cells regulating the immune response in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis have been summarized,mainly including reducing the expression of aquaporin 4 and reducing endothelial nitric oxide synthase signal transduction to repair the integrity of the immune barrier;releasing indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase,prostaglandin E2 and other factors to resist natural killer cell toxicity;secretion factor H interferes with the activity of invertase and inhibits abnormal activation of the complement system;regulating the CX3CL1/CX3CR1 system axis or secreting transforming growth factors β,which can change the phenotype of microglia and inhibit its activity by other ways;increasing the expression of interleukin-10 or activating the STATS phosphorylation pathway to restore T cell function.(3)At present,there are few studies on the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and mesenchymal stem cells in the treatment of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.Relevant research reports have shown that Jiweiling Injection can promote stem cell proliferation and differentiation and that Buyang Huanwu decoction combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells can significantly improve the integrity of the blood-brain barrier.In the future,further exploration is needed to explore the synergistic treatment effect of both on refractory amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

[Objective]To investigate the association between screen content and the frequency of screen exposure at the age of one and a half years and hyperactive behavior in preschool,and to explore how the association is affected by the interaction between outdoor activities and screen behaviors,which could provide theoretical basis and feasible solutions for the prevention and intervention of behavioral problems in childhoood.[Methods]The survey was conducted from June 2022 to June 2023 in Huicheng District,Huizhou (China) stratified by whole cluster sampling methods. Parents and teachers of 5648 children in 61 kindergartens were sampled for questionnaire surveys. The Conners Teacher Rating Scale (TRS) was used to investigate hyperactive behavior. A self-administered questionnaire was used to investigate basic demographic information of children,screen content,frequency of screen exposure and outdoor activities at the age of one and a half years. Multivariate logistic regression was used to explore the association between video screen behavior and hyperactive behavior and its interaction with outdoor activities by controlling for covariates such as children's age,gender,and parental education.[Results]Result showed the overall prevalence of 3.2％ for hyperactive behavior,2.1％ for conduct problems,2.1％ for hyperactivity problems,1.3％ for inattention-passivity problems,and 0.9％ for hyperactivity index. After adjusting for confounding factors,multiple logistic regression analysis showed that screen exposure of "two to four times a week" at one and a half years old was associated with an increased detection rate of hyperactive behaviors in preschool children,with an estimated ORs (95％ CI) of 1.682 (1.141,2.480). Daily screen exposure was associated with increased detection rates of hyperactive behavior,conduct problems,hyperactivity issues,inattention-passivity problems,and hyperactivity index in pre-school age. The estimated ORs (95％ CI) were 2.136 (1.218,3.746),2.321 (1.185,4.546),2.300 (1.208,4.380),2.776 (1.267,6.085) and 3.640 (1.525,8.687),respectively. But the above associations were not found in children who were engaged in daily outdoor activities at the age of one and a half years (P value for interaction<0.001). No association was found between screen content and hyperactive behavior (P>0.05).[Conclusions]Frequency of screen exposure in early childhood is significantly associated with hyperactive behavior problems in preschool,and outdoor activities could weaken the correlation between high-frequency screen exposure and hyperactive behavior,suggesting that parents and schools should prioritize scientifically guiding children's video viewing behavior and outdoor activities,ensuring a well-arranged daily life,to lay a good foundation for the healthy development of children's behavior.

Objective:To evaluate the value of ultrasonography in the differential diagnosis of cystic biliary atresia (CBA) and choledochal cyst (CC) in infants.Methods:CBA or CC children <3 months of age diagnosed by surgery in Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from 2015 to 2023 were collected, and the differences in general conditions and ultrasound manifestations between CBA group and CC group were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among the 55 children, 30 were in CBA group and 25 were in CC group. The mean length diameter and width diameter of cysts in the CBA group were about (1.45±1.05)cm and (1.04±0.73)cm, respectively, which were significantly smaller than those in the CC group (5.41±2.98)cm and (3.21±2.90)cm ( P<0.001). The incidence of fibrous plaque (50.0%, 15/30) and abnormal gallbladder morphology (73.3%, 22/30) in the CBA group was significantly higher than that in the CC group [4.0%(1/25) and 16.0%(4/25), respectively]. The incidence of intrahepatic biliary mud deposition (52.0%, 13/25) and intrahepatic biliary duct dilation (64.0%, 16/25) in the CC group was significantly higher than that in the CBA group [0, 3.3%(1/30), respectively]. Conclusions:There are some differences in ultrasonography between CBA and CC children. The length and width of cysts in children with CC are significantly larger than those in children with CBA, and biliary mud deposits or intrahepatic bile duct dilatation are seen in the cysts. The incidence of fibrous plaque and abnormal gallbladder morphology in CBA children is significantly higher than that in CC children.

Objective:To observe the intervention mechanism of phlegm-stasis co-treatment for the JNK signaling pathway in the myocardium of diabetes rats.Methods:Totally 50 male SD rats of SPF grade were selected. Diabetes model was established by single intraperitoneal injection of 55 mg/kg streptozotocin (STZ) solution. After continued feeding for 3 weeks, the rats were divided into normal group, model group, alachloramine group, blood stasis removing group, phlegm removing group and phlegm-blood stasis co-treatment group according to random number table method, with 6 rats in each group. Xiaoxianxiong Decoction (4.05 g/kg), Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction (7.02 g/kg), Didang Xianxiong Decoction (8.10 g/kg) were administered to the stomach respectively in the phlegm removing group, the blood stasis removing group and the phlegm-blood stasis co-treatment group. Alachloramine (3 mg/kg) was administered to the stomach by gavage in the alachloramine group. After 8 weeks, HE staining was used to observe the morphological changes of myocardial tissue in diabetic rats. Masson staining was used to observe the deposition of collagen fibers in the myocardial interstitium in rats. The expression of JNK1 protein was determined by immunohistochemistry. JNK1 mRNA, IRS1 mRNA and NLRP3 expression levels were detected by Real-time PCR. Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of IRS-1, p-Akt and NLRP3.Results:The myocardial cells in the model group were disorganized, with hypertrophy, blurred texture, inflammatory infiltration of interstitium, increased collagen fibers, and focal necrosis. All treatment groups could improve fibrosis, inflammatory infiltration and reduce myocardial collagen deposition in different degrees. Compared with the model group, the mRNA and protein expressions of JNK1 and NLRP3 bodies decreased ( P<0.01), the IRS-1 mRNA and protein increased ( P<0.01), and p-Akt protein expression increased ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The phlegm and stasis co-treatment can effectively improve the cardiomyopathy of diabetes rats, and the effect is better than the phlegm-resolving method or the stasis resolving method alone. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of JNK signaling pathway activation, reduce the expressions of JNK1 and NLRP3, and increase the IRS-1 and Akt.

The effective recovery rate of the questionnaires was 93.33%(28/30) in the first round. The effective recovery rate of the questionnaires was 100.00%(28/28) in the second and third rounds. The authority coefficient of the experts was 0.85 in the third round. The Kendall′s coefficients of concordance of the first-level indexes, second-level indexes and third-level indexes were 0.150, 0.221 and 0.161, respectively. The final evaluation index system of the core competence of neonatal specialist nurses included 5 first-level indicators, 17 second-level indicators and 58 third-level indicators.Conclusions:The evaluation index system of the core competence of neonatal specialist nurses constructed in this study has certain scientific, reliable and clinical application value, which is conducive to the training of newborn specialized nurses in China.

Objective:To explore the basic biological characteristics of lncRNA B230352I09 and its role in the process of myocardial injury.Methods:We analyzed the biological characteristics of lncRNA B230352I09 on the UCSC website and predicted the possible binding protein of lncRNA B230352I09 by the catRAPID. Real-time fluorescence quantitative (RT) PCR method was applied to detect the expression of lncRNA B230352I09 in heart tissues at different time points (0, 1, 3, 7d) within 7 days after birth, the organs distribution and expression of lncRNA B230352I09 in neonatal mouse and the expression pattern of lncRNA B230352I09 in the heart of mice with myocardial injury. In addition, we constructed hypoxia model by culturing primary cardiomyocytes to detect the effect of lncRNA 230352I09 overexpression on hypoxic cardiomyocyte apoptosis by Hoechst staining kit, the effect of lncRNA B230352I09 overexpression on ROS content of hypoxic cardiomyocyte by DCFDA probe and changes in mitochondrial membrane potential of hypoxic cardiomyocytes by JC-1 Fluorescent probes.Results:Full-length of mouse B230352I09 was 663bp, located in the chr7:123031415-123066439 forward strand. RBBP6 gene was adjacent to B230352I09, which may be the target of lncRNA B230352I09 by catrapid prediction analysis. With the development of the heart, the expression level of lncRNA B230352I09 showed a gradual downward trend. The main expression organs of lncRNA B230352I09 in 1-day-old mice were heart, brain, kidney and liver. In heart tissue, lncRNA B230352I09 expression in non-cardiomyocytes was significantly less than in cardiomyocytes [ (1.0± 0.03) vs. (9.2± 3.29), P=0.013]. After myocardial injury, the expression level of lncRNA B230352I09 showed an increasing trend compared with the normal developing mice, but there was no statistical significance. Hoechst staining showed that lncRNA B230352I09 could inhibit the apoptosis of hypoxic cardiomyocytes. Detecting the content of ROS in cardiomyocytes showed that compared with the hypoxia group, the generation of ROS was significantly reduced in the lncRNA B230352I09 overexpression group ([(3.8±0.71) vs. (1.65±0.56), P=0.015]). JC-1 fluorescent probe was used to detect the mitochondrial membrane potential, and the results showed that the mitochondrial membrane potential of cardiomyocytes in the lncRNA B230352I09 overexpression group was significantly higher than that in the hypoxia group. Conclusions:In heart tissue, lncRNA B230352I09 was mainly expressed in cardiomyocytes. LncRNA B230352I09 has a protective effect in the process of myocardial injury in mice, mainly by inhibiting apoptosis of cardiomyocytes, reducing ROS production, and protecting mitochondrial membrane potential of cardiomyocytes.

Objective:To explore the clinicopathological characteristics and prognosis of pancreatic gastrointestinal interstitial tumors(pGISTs).Methods:Three cases of pGISTs diagnosed in the Affiliated Tumor Hospital of Guangxi Medical University from August 2015 to October 2019 were analyzed retrospectively. Relevant literatures at home and abroad were searched and reviewed through PubMed, China knowledge Network, Wanfang and VIP databases. The sex, age, tumor size, tumor location, cystic or solid tumor, mode of treatment, mitosis, gene mutation, survival status and survival time were recorded, and the correlation between tumor cystic-solid characteristics and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed. Kaplan-Meier′s method was used to calculate the overall survival (OS) rate and disease-free survival (DFS) rate. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression models were used to analyze the independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of pGISTs.Results:In this group, 3 cases were combined with 71 cases reported in the literature, and a total of 74 cases of pGISTs were included. Among them, 36 cases were male and 38 were female, the age of onset was 55(19-84) years, and the diameter of the tumor was 8 cm(2-35 cm). The tumor location of 71 patients was recorded by literature; 30 cases (42.3%) were located in the head of the pancreas. The solid-cystic characteristics of tumor in 63 patients were recorded by literature, and 33 cases (52.4%) were solid. The mode of treatment of 74 patients was recorded, and 60 cases (81.1%) underwent radical resection. The mitosis figures of 59 patients were recorded, and 33 cases (55.9%) were <5/50 high power field of vision (HPF). The gene mutation of 14 patients was recorded, and 11 cases (78.6%) were c-kit exon gene mutation. Correlation analysis showed that the cystic-solid characteristics of the tumor were significantly correlated with tumor location, tumor diameter and mitosis figures, but not with age, sex, histological type, Ki-67 index and modification National Institutes of Health(mNIH) classification. The 5-year OS rate of 51 patients after radical resection was 88.8%, and the 5-year DFS rate was 60.3%. The 1-year OS rate of patients receiving palliative treatment was 51.9%, and the 1-year fatality rate was 33.3%. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that male ( P=0.083), mitosis figures >5/50 HPF ( P=0.008)and CD 34 negative ( P=0.055)were risk factors for postoperative recurrence of pGISTs, while multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that mitosis figures >5/50 HPF ( P=0.023)was an independent risk factor for the prognosis of pGISTs. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that patients with mitosis figures ≤5/50 HPF had a higher survival rate ( P=0.0003), but there was no significant difference on prognosis between patients with 10/50 HPF and >10/50 HPF( P=0.3075). Conclusions:pGISTs usually occured in the head of pancreas, and the tumor volume was usually found to be large. The main treatment was radical operation, and the main mutation type was exon mutation of c-kit gene. Nuclear fission image figures >5/50HPF was an independent risk factor for postoperative recurrence.
