Objective To explore the attentional network function in sub-healthy individuals with spleen qi deficiency syndrome.Methods Twenty-seven individuals in the sub-healthy spleen qi deficiency syndrome group were recruited from September 2022 to August 2024 in communities and colleges.Twenty-five healthy controls were also recruited according to the principle of matching age,gender,and years of education components.Attention network tests were performed on subjects in both groups.Results Compared with the control group,the executive control network function value of the spleen qi deficiency syndrome group was significantly decreased(P=0.012).The differences in correct rate,overall reaction time,alert network and orientation network between the two groups were not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The results of correlation analysis showed a significant negative correlation between Health Evaluating Questionnaire H20 V2009 scores and executive control network efficiency of the subjects in the spleen qi deficiency syndrome(P＜0.001),and a positive correlation between the spleen qi deficiency syndrome score and executive control network efficiency(P=0.038).Conclusions Abnormal changes in the executive control of attention in sub-healthy subjects with spleen qi deficiency syndrome were closely related to the severity of the symptoms of spleen qi deficiency,which provided further scientific evidence for the cognitive psychological connotation of the theory of"spleen stores Yi".

Objective To build the machine learning classification model for sub-health patients with spleen qi deficiency syndrome and kidney qi deficiency syndrome based on degree centrality characteristics.Methods A total of 80 sub-healthy subjects were included,including 40 subhealth patients with spleen qi de ficiency syndrome and 40 subhealth patients with kidney qi deficiency syndrome were enrolled and underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging scans.The DPABI software was used to extract the degree centrality characteristics of all subjects,and a random forest model was used for classification.Results Between the sub-health spleen qi deficiency syndrome group and the sub-health kidney qi deficiency syndrome group,after feature selection,10 degree centrality features were finally obtained:The supplementary eye field,posterior cingulate gyrus,MT+area,pre-supramarginal sulcus,ventromedial visual area,secondary visual cortex,supramarginal sulcus,precuneus,ventral supramarginal gyrus complex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.Following hyperparameter optimization and leave-one-out cross-validation,a random forest classification model was obtained with an accuracy rate of 0.71.Conclusion The significant changes in the centrality of brain regions such as the supplementary eye field and posterior cingulate gyrus may be key brain regions underlying the neural mechanism differences between subhealth spleen qi deficiency syndrome and kidney qi deficiency syndrome,providing neuroimaging evidence for the cognitive neural basis differences in traditional Chinese medicine theories of"spleen in storing idea"and"kidney storing will".

Objective To explore the neuroimaging mechanisms of cognitive impairment in sub-health patients with spleen qi deficiency syndrome and kidney qi deficiency syndrome using independent component analysis.Methods 40 sub-health patients with spleen qi deficiency syndrome and 40 kidney qi deficiency syndrome were recruited.All subjects underwent repeated neuropsychological testing and resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI)scans.Independent component analysis was used to compare functional connectivity differences between the two groups of subjects in the default mode network(DMN),frontoparietal network(FPN),dorsal attention network(DAN),and executive control network(ECN).The relationship between the differences in functional connectivity and cognitive function in the two groups of patients was also analyzed.Results In sub-health patients with spleen deficiency syndrome,the DMN included six brain regions,including the bilateral superior parietal lobule,left inferior occipital gyrus,and left lingual gyrus.The FPN included four brain regions,including the left superior parietal gyrus and the left caudate nucleus,the DAN included two brain regions,including the right superior temporal gyrus and the left medial frontal gyrus,and the ECN included the left central parietal lobule.The functional connectivity between the spleen qi deficiency syndrome symptom score and the left middle temporal gyrus and right superior temporal gyrus showed a significant positive correlation(r=0.371,P=0.028).In sub-health kidney qi deficiency syndrome patients,the DMN included six brain regions,including the left superior temporal gyrus,left precuneus,and right angular gyrus,the FPN included three brain regions,including the right middle temporal gyrus and right superior temporal gyrus,the DAN included four brain regions,including the right wedge lobe and the left medial frontal superior gyrus,and the ECN included the left central paracentral lobule and the right central posterior gyrus.Among these,the functional connectivity between the left wedge lobe and the left frontal middle gyrus showed a significant positive correlation with the syndrome score of kidney qi deficiency(r=0.404,P=0.016).Conclusion Sub-health patients with spleen qi deficiency syndrome and kidney qi deficiency syndrome exhibit different neuroimaging bases for cognitive impairment,providing neuroimaging evidence to elucidate the differences in the cognitive psychological connotation of the theories of"spleen in storing idea"and"kidney storing will".

OBJECTIVE To explore the effects of the water extract of Morinda officinalis on the expressions of sex hormones and receptors in bisphenol A （BPA）-contaminated mice. METHODS Totally 60 male Kunming mice were randomly divided into control group， model group， and low-dose， medium-dose and high-dose groups of M. officinalis water extract （20， 40， 60 mg/kg）， with 12 mice in each group. The model group and M. officinalis water extract groups were given BPA intragastrically [50 mg/（kg·d）， once a day， for 4 consecutive weeks] to establish the BPA-contamination model of mice. After modeling， each drug group was gavaged with the corresponding drug solution， once a day， for 4 consecutive weeks. After the last medication， the body weight and testicular weight of the mice in each group were weighed， the histopathological changes in the testis were observed， and the serum sex hormones [luteinizing hormone （LH）， follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH）] contents and the mRNA and protein expressions of LH receptor （LHR） and FSH receptor （FSHR） in the testicular tissues were detected. RESULTS Compared with the control group， the testicular tissues of mice in the model group had structural degeneration， loose connections between spermatogenic cells and Sertoli cells， obvious lacunae and reduced number of spermatogenic cells； the mRNA and protein expressions of LHR and FSHR in testicular tissues were significantly down-regulated （P＜0.01）， but there were no significant changes in their body weights， testicular weights， and serum contents of LH and FSH （P＞0.05）. Compared with the model group， the histopathological changes of testicular tissues of mice in each dose group of M. officinalis water extract were improved to different degrees， and the mRNA and protein expressions of LHR and FSHR in testicular tissues were up-regulated to different degrees （P＜0.05 or P＜ 0.01）， and some indicator levels were similar to those of the control group （P＞0.05）. However， there were no significant changes in their body weights， testicular weights， and serum contents of LH and FSH （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS The water extract of M. officinalis has a certain improvement effect on testicular injury in BPA-contaminated mice， which might be related to its increase in the mRNA and protein expressions of LHR and FSHR.

Objective The aim of this study is to combine Raman spectroscopy and machine learning techniques to distinguish subgin-gival plaques among three groups of subjects,including patients with chronic periodontitis(CP)and type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),patients with CP alone,and healthy controls.Methods The Raman spectra of the subgingival plaques from 20 patients with CP and T2DM(group A),23 patients with CP alone(group B),and 23 healthy controls(group C)were obtained using a portable Raman spec-trometer.Eight common machine learning algorithms were applied to build models to distinguish the Raman spectra of the three types of subgingival plaques.Results The model identified as optimal for distinguishing the three types of subgingival plaques was linear discri-minant analysis(LDA).The optimal model to distinguish groups A and B is LDA,groups A and C is extra trees(ET),and groups B and C group is LDA.Conclusion The proposed classification model based on Raman spectroscopy and machine learning algorithms can dis-tinguish subgingival plaques among patients with CP and T2DM,with CP alone,and healthy controls.This technique can be used in future clinical practice as a screening or diagnostic tool.

Objective:To evaluate the functional status and assistive facilities requirements for the elderly with disabilities in rural areas of Liaoning Province, and to provide reference for the configuration of assistive facilities and the construction of further rehabilitation management mode for the elderly with disabilities.Methods:A total of 929 disabled rural elderly people in 15 deep poverty-stricken areas in Liaoning Province from 2019 to 2020 were selected to evaluate the functional status and needs of assistive devices by using general information questionnaire, disability status questionnaire and assistive device evaluation form for disabled elderly people.Results:There were 149 cases (16.0%) with grade 1 disability, 465 cases (50.1%) with grade 2 disability, 178 cases (19.2%) with grade 3 disability and 137 cases (14.7%) with grade 4 disability. The elderly with disabilities mainly had difficulties in long-distance walking, bathing, toilet use, defecation control, short distance walking, squatting, and transfer. The proportion of disabled elderly was 89.8% (834/929), 84.9% (789/929), 82.6% (767/929), 79.9% (742/929), 76.6% (712/929), 76.1% (707/929) and 60.5% (562/929), respectively. With the increase of disability severity, bathing, short walking, metastasis, shopping and preparing meals accounted for the greater proportion of the elderly with disabilities, and the differences were statistically significant ( P< 0.01). The elderly with disabilities had the greatest demand for wheelchairs, followed by mattresses for preventing stress injuries and four-legged walking sticks, with a demand rate of 56.3% (523/929),9.4% (87/929) and 7.0% (65/929), respectively. The elderly with different levels of disability had different needs on ordinary wheelchair, pressured-injury mattress, four-legged walking stick, stool chair, wheelchair with toilet seat and common walking stick, and the needs had statistically significant differences ( P<0.01). Conclusions:The elderly with disabilities in rural areas of Liaoning Province are mainly moderate to severe, mainly physical disabilities, and have great obstacles in self-care and daily living activities, with the highest demand for ordinary wheelchairs, anti-stress injury mattresses and four-legged canes. In the future, further intervention measures and rehabilitation management models should be developed according to the assessment results of the functions and assistive devices of the elderly with disabilities in rural areas, so as to meet the nursing and rehabilitation needs of the elderly with disabilities and improve their life quality.
