Objective:To conduct a scoping review of the characteristics, functions, risk of bias and applications of home-based self-management behavior assessment tools for lung transplant patients, so as to provide references for clinical medical staff to conduct further related research.Methods:The relevant literatures were systematically searched in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, VIP, China Biology Medicine disc, PubMed, Web of Science Core Collection, Embase, Cochrane Library and CINAHL databases. The search period was from the establishment of the databases to June 30, 2023. The scoping review method framework was used to screen the literature, extract information and standardize the report.Results:A total of 10 167 Chinese and English literatures were searched, and after deduplication and screening, 23 articles that met the criteria were finally included, involving 13 home-based self-management behavior assessment tools for lung transplant patients, including nine specific tools and four universal tools. There were eight kinds of lung transplantation patients whose reliability and validity were not verified. Of the 13 tools, those with single-dimensional assessments and single measures predominate. The level of home self-management behavior of lung transplant patients was reflected mainly through compliance, and medication management was the most frequently assessed content.Conclusions:At present, the measurement of home-based self-management behavior of lung transplant patients is mainly based on questionnaire surveys, and the evaluation tools are mostly single dimensional. The reliability and validity of most evaluation tools in the population of lung transplant patients are not yet clear, and there is a certain risk of bias. It is recommended that researchers pay attention to the reliability and validity verification report of the evaluation tool in the target population when selecting it, and integrate multiple measurement methods to reduce measurement errors.

OBJECTIVE To establish the characteristic chromatogram of the volatile oil in the standard decoction of Qingshang juantong decoction, and preliminarily infer the main active components of volatile oil that affect the clinical therapeutic effect. METHODS The volatile oil in the standard decoction of Qingshang juantong decoction was extracted by steam distillation. The ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) characteristic chromatograms of 15 batches of samples were established by the Similarity Evaluation System of TCM Chromatographic Fingerprint (2012 edition), and the similarity evaluation was carried out. The volatile oil of standard decoction was identified by UPLC coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-Q-TOF/MS). Then the volatile oil components were analyzed by GC-MS. RESULTS The similarities of UPLC characteristic chromatograms for volatile oil of 15 batches of Qingshang juantong decoction were between 0.949 and 0.997. A total of 12 common peaks were obtained. According to the UPLC-Q-TOF/MS, the main components were methyl eugenol, E-ligustilide, E-butylidenephthalide and so on. A total of 23 components were identified by GC-MS, which were mainly 3,4,5-trimethoxy- methylbenzene, patchouli alcohol, Z-ligustilide and so on. CONCLUSIONS The characteristic chromatograms of the volatile oil in the standard decoction of Qingshang juantong decoction is established, and it is inferred that methyl eugenol, ligustilide, E- butylidenephthalide, patchouli alcohol, 3,4,5-trimethoxy-methylbenzene might be the main active components affecting the clinical therapeutic effect of the volatile oil of Qingshang juantong decoction.
4.Research progress in the mechanism of acupuncture therapy for vascular cognitive impairment
International Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2024;46(6):813-816,F4
This article has found that acupuncture can treat vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) through alleviating nerve cell apoptosis, enhancing hippocampal synaptic plasticity, improving hippocampal mitochondrial function, reducing brain inflammation, inhibiting oxidative stress response, protecting the blood-brain barrier, promoting angiogenesis, improving cerebral circulation, enhancing default network connectivity in brain regions, and improving white matter damage. At present, it is still in the preliminary stage to explore the mechanism of acupuncture treatment of VCI from the perspective of brain network connection. The existing mechanism researches mostly use electroacupuncture as an intervention method, and the selection of acupoints and the intensity of electroacupuncture stimulation are different. It is necessary to improve the rigor of the experiment, strengthen the study of conventional acupuncture, and explore the operation methods and needle retention time. The existing animal models lack consideration of other complications of VCI, and there are still some differences with the clinical characteristics of VCI patients, which need to be optimized in the future.

【Objective】 To observe the effect of puerarin on the concentration of Ca2+ and the expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in hippocampal neurons of vascular dementia (VD) rats so as to explore the mechanism of puerarin in protecting nerve cells. 【Methods】 Male SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, and puerarin intervention group. The vascular dementia model was established by ligating bilateral common carotid arteries at intervals of 3 days. Two weeks after the operation, the learning and memory abilities of the rats were evaluated by Morris water maze, and the expression of BDNF in the hippocampus of the rats was detected by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. The mean fluorescence intensity was measured by flow cytometry to represent the intracellular free Ca2+ concentration. 【Results】 In the puerarin intervention group, the rats’ escape latency in Morris water maze was significantly shortened, the expression of BDNF in the hippocampus was significantly increased, and the concentration of Ca2+ in hippocampal neurons was decreased. Compared with the model group, the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Puerarin has neuroprotective effect on VD rats, and its mechanism may be related to the decrease of Ca2+ concentration in hippocampal neurons and the up-regulation of BDNF expression.

Objective:To investigate the clinical phenotype and genetic characteristics of a patient with a heterozygous 6p25.3 deletion and partial trisomy 15q.Methods:A patient who had presented at the Genetics and Prenatal Diagnosis Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University on May 14, 2021 was selected as the study subject. Clinical data of the patient was collected, and G-banded chromosomal karyotyping and copy number variation sequencing (CNV-seq) were carried out.Results:The patient′s main clinical features included complete uterine septum, vaginal septum, atrophy of left eyeball, abnormal fingers and toes, and mental retardation. The karyotype of the patient was 46, XX, der(6)t(6; 15)(p25.3; q26.1). CNV-seq result has indicated a 1.20 Mb heterozygous deletion in the 6p25.3 region and a 10.20 Mb duplication in the 15q26.1q26.3 region. The deletion segment has included the FOXQ1 gene, which may be related with the abnormal development of the left eye. The duplication segment has a 96.16% overlap with the region associated with 15q26 overgrowth syndrome (including the IGF1R gene), which may be related to the patient′ s abnormal development of the Müllerian duct, abnormal fingers and toes, and mental developmental delay. Conclusion:The heterozygous deletion of the 6p25.3 region and duplication of the 15q26.1q26.3 region probably underlay the abnormal clinical phenotype in this patient.

Objective:
To understand the neglect status among preschool non-only-child in Nantong, and to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and intervention of non-only child neglect.
Methods:
Using the method of random cluster sampling, a total of 1 141 parents of children from 9 kindergartens in the main urban area of Nantong were investigated with National Neglect Norm Scale for Children aged 3 to 6 years.
Results:
The neglect rate of preschool children in Nantong City was 28.6%, with neglect score being (40.21±6.67). The neglect rate of non-only-child was 32.6%, with neglect score being (41.14±6.73). The total and physical neglect rate of non-only-child were higher than that of only child, and the total neglect score and physical, emotional, educational, safety, medical neglect dimensional scores were higher than that of only-child, the difference were all statistically significant ( χ 2/ t = 6.21, 17.57; 3.95, 4.98, 3.45, 2.70, 2.01, 3.11, P <0.05). In non-only-child, univariate analysis showed that there were no significant differences in neglect rate and scores among children by gender and family types ( P >0.05); There was no significant difference in the child neglect rate between different age groups and children in different families ( χ 2 =3.59, 2.99, P >0.05), but there was a statistically significant difference in the degree of neglect ( t=2.79, 3.04, P <0.05). The neglect rate and score of non-only-child with high level of family income, parental education and parental relationship was relatively low, while the neglect rate and score in non-only-child whose grandparents serving as primary caregiver were higher ( P <0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that family monthly income less than 5 000 yuan was associated with 2.73 times higher risk of neglect compared to children with family monthly income more than 12 000 yuan. The risk of neglect among children whose grandparents serving as caregivers was associated with 2.17 times higher than children with parental care. The risk of neglect of children with poor parental relationship was 2.29 times higher than that of children with good parental relationship ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
The neglect among preschool non-only-child in Nantong City is common. Improvement in family economic status, parental care and parent relationship might help reduce neglect among preschool non-only-child.

Objective:To assess the imaging characteristics of muscle FDG metabolism, tumor incidence, and pulmonary interstitial changes in patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibody positivity in 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging, and the value of 18F-FDG PET/CT in differentiating anti-MDA5 antibody positive dermatomyositis. Methods:From June 2016 to July 2019, the PET/CT images of 75 patients with dermatomyositis (21 males, 54 females, age (52.3±14.3) years; 34 anti-MDA5 antibody positive and 41 anti-MDA5 antibody negative) and 30 healthy controls (10 males, 20 females; age (53.5±11.8) years) were retrospectively analyzed in Renji Hospital, School of Medicine, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The SUV max of muscle was measured and the mean of SUV max (mSUV max) was calculated. Statistics of patients with dermatomyositis complicated with neoplastic lesions and the SUV max of pneumonia lesions in patients with dermatomyositis complicated with interstitial pneumonia was determined. Independent sample t test, one-way analysis of variance, Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK) test and χ2 test were used to analyze data. The ROC curve analysis was used to analyze the diagnostic efficacy of mSUV max for the differential diagnosis of anti-MDA5 antibody positive dermatomyositis. Results:The muscle mSUV max of the control group, anti-MDA5 antibody positive and negative groups were 0.39±0.05, 0.66±0.21 and 0.87±0.29 ( F=39.93, P<0.001), respectively. The muscle mSUV max of dermatomyositis patients was increased compared with healthy controls ( q values: 6.76, 12.63, both P<0.001), and the muscle mSUV max of anti-MDA5 antibody negative was higher than positive ( q=5.79, P<0.001). The AUC was 0.74, and the cut-off value of muscle mSUV max was 0.75 with the accuracy of 74.7%(56/75). Of 41 patients with negative anti-MDA5 antibody, there were 6 (14.6%) had malignant tumor, while there was no malignant tumor in patients with positive anti-MDA5 antibody (0/34; χ2=5.41, P=0.020). There were 11 patients (26.8%, 11/41) with anti-MDA5 antibody negative dermatomyositis complicated with interstitial pneumonia and 33 patients (97.1%, 33/34) with anti-MDA5 antibody positive dermatomyositis complicated with interstitial pneumonia ( χ2=37.81, P<0.001). FDG metabolism in anti-MDA5 antibody positive patients was higher than that in anti-MDA5 antibody negative patients (lesion SUV max: 3.65±1.83 and 2.38±1.27; t=2.13, P=0.039). Conclusions:The muscle FDG metabolism of anti-MDA5 antibody positive dermatomyositis patients is higher than that of healthy controls, but lower than that of anti-MDA5 antibody negative patients. The incidence of neoplastic lesions in patients with positive anti-MDA5 antibody is lower than that in patients with negative anti-MDA5 antibody. The proportion and severity of interstitial pneumonia are higher in patients with positive anti-MDA5 antibody than in those with negative anti-MDA5 antibody. 18F-FDG PET/CT has certain value on identifying anti-MDA5 antibody positive dermatomyositis.
