Munchausen syndrome by proxy（MSBP）in children refers to the caregivers who enforce unnecessary medication-seeking on children by falsifying symptoms or inducing disease（exacerbation），resulting in different degrees of physical or mental damage.And it may lead to adverse psychosocial consequences of the victims in adulthood，and even become the new "MSBP caregivers".First reported in 1977，MSBP in children has attracted widespread attention in European and American countries，and gradually attracted attention worldwide.However，Chinese pediatricians have insufficient knowledge of the disease at present，and there are just a few relevant literature reports in China.This article reviews the clinical features and progress on diagnosis and treatment of MSBP in children.

Objective:To observe the projections from tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)positive neurons in locus coerule-us(LC)to tachykinin-1(TAC1)neurons in paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus(PVT),and morphologically determine whether they are involved in transmission and modulation of nociceptive information.Methods:TAC1-ires-Cre mice were hybridized with Rosa26:CAG-LSL-tdTomato(Ai9)mice.And spared nerve injury(SNI)induced neu-ropathic pain model was established with TAC1-ires-Cre::Ai9 mice to observe the colocalization of TAC1 and Fos and the close appositions between TAC1/FOS double-labeled neurons and TH positive axonal terminals.The distribution of the TH positive neurons and FG retrogradely labeled neurons were observed in the LC after Fluorogold(FG)was injec-ted into the PVT.Finally,the coexistences of TH positive neurons and RV labeled neurons in the LC were observed after injection of RV-mediated retrograde tracing system.Results:TAC1 positive neurons were shown with red fluores-cence in TAC1-ires-Cre::Ai9 mice.TAC1/FOS double-labeled neurons were found in the PVT of the SNI model.Some TAC1/FOS double labeled neurons made close appositions with TH positive axonal terminals.FG retrogradely labeled neurons were observed in the LC after FG injected into the PVT,and some of the FG labeled neurons coexisted with TH positive neurons.Using RV retrograde transsynaptic tracing virus,the results showed that presynaptic neurons of TAC1 positive neurons in the PVT were found in the LC,and most of the presynaptic neurons were TH positive neu-rons.Conclusion:TH positive neurons in the LC project to TAC1 positive neurons of the PVT,forming LCTH+-PVTTAC1+neural circuit,which were activated by nociceptive information.It demonstrates that this pathway plays a role in pain transmission or regulation.

End-stage liver diseases,such as cirrhosis and liver cancer caused by hepatitis B,are often combined with hepatic encephalopathy(HE);ammonia poisoning is posited as one of its main pathogenesis mechanisms.Ammonia is closely related to autophagy,but the molecular mechanism of ammonia's regulatory effect on autophagy in HE remains unclear.Sialylation is an essential form of glycosylation.In the nervous system,abnormal sialylation affects various physiological processes,such as neural development and synapse formation.ST3 β-galactoside α2,3-sialyltransferase 6(ST3GAL6)is one of the significant glycosyltransferases responsible for adding α2,3-linked sialic acid to substrates and generating glycan structures.We found that the expression of ST3GAL6 was upregulated in the brains of mice with HE and in astrocytes after ammonia induction,and the expression levels of α2,3-sialylated glycans and autophagy-related proteins microtubule-associated protein light chain 3(LC3)and Beclin-1 were upregulated in ammonia-induced astrocytes.These findings suggest that ST3GAL6 is related to autophagy in HE.Therefore,we aimed to determine the regulatory relationship between ST3GAL6 and autophagy.We found that silencing ST3GAL6 and blocking or degrading α2,3-sialylated glycans by way of Maackia amurensis lectin-Ⅱ(MAL-Ⅱ)and neuraminidase can inhibit autophagy.In addition,silencing the expression of ST3GAL6 can downregulate the expression of heat shock protein β8(HSPB8)and Bcl2-associated athanogene 3(BAG3).Notably,the overexpression of HSPB8 partially restored the reduced autophagy levels caused by silencing ST3GAL6 expression.Our results indicate that ST3GAL6 regulates autophagy through the HSPB8-BAG3 complex.

Objective To explore the effective therapeutic methods for thin endometrium (TE) and recovery of reproductive function of uterine. Methods Menstrual days, the Pictorial Blood Loss Assessment Chart (PBAC) score for menstrual volume, and ultrasound indicators before and after modified hysteroscopic adhesiolysis in 48 patients with TE were retrospectively analyzed. Results The average postoperative menstrual period of 48 patients was (5.60±1.40) days, which was significantly longer than (4.30±1.20) days before operation (P < 0.05); the postoperative PBAC score for menstrual volume was (55.60±6.20) points, which was significantly higher than (21.40±5.60) points before operation (P < 0.05); there were no significant differences in the mean resistance index (RI) and pulse index (PI) of bilateral uterine arteries before and after surgery (P>0.05); the postoperative endometrial thickness and the endometrial volume were (9.10±1.10) mm and (4.68±0.81) cm³, which were significantly higher than (4.30±1.20) mm and (3.21±0.31) cm³ before operation (P < 0.05); the postoperative RI value and PI value of the endometrium were (0.51±0.13) and (0.77±0.26), which were significantly lower than (0.59±0.07) and (0.91±0.18) before operation (P < 0.05). The pregnancy rate of 48 patients was 60.4%. The volume and thickness of the endometrium were positively significantly correlated with pregnancy (P < 0.05), while the RI and PI values of the endometrium were negatively significantly correlated with pregnancy (P < 0.05). Conclusion Changing electric current cutting to "cold needle" physical and mechanical separation of scar adhesions can effectively repair scar adhesions in the uterine cavity, facilitate postoperative reconstruction of endometrial blood flow, improve uterine receptivity of TE patients, and restore uterine reproductive function.

Solid dispersion technology is an advanced technology to improve the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs.Inhibition of the recrystallization and amorphous phase separation of amorphous solid dispersion (ASD) active pharmaceutical ingredients are important to ensure product stability,so the characterization of ASD phase separation is essential.Based on the principle of phase separation,this paper analyzed and summarized the advantages,disadvantages and applicability of the various characterization techniques,in order to provide an efficient reference for the characterization and stability study of ASD.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between glutathione S-transferase μ1 (GSTM1) and the apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1)-c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK)/p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway during therapeutic hypothermia-induced reduction of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) in rats.Methods:One hundred clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8 weeks, weighing 260-280 g, were divided into 5 groups ( n=20 each) using a random number table method: sham operation group (S group), cerebral ischemia-reperfusion group (I/R group), therapeutic hypothermia group (H group), GSTM1 inhibitor+ therapeutic hypothermia group (IH group), and GSTM1 inhibitor + ASK1 inhibitor + therapeutic hypothermia group (IAH group). CIRI model was developed by occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery for 2 h, followed by restoration of the blood flow. A nylon thread was inserted into the internal carotid artery and advanced cephalad until resistance was met. The brain temperature was maintained at 36-37 ℃ during surgery. In H group, the head and neck were wiped with 75% alcohol immediately after reperfusion, and the brain temperature was maintained at 32-33℃ for 3 h, and the rest procedures were the same as those previously described in I/R group. In IH group, GSTM1 inhibitor itaconic acid 8.6 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected at 24 and 1 h before developing the model, and the rest procedures were the same as those previously described in H group. In IAH group, ASK1 inhibitor selonsertib 10 mg/kg was given orally once a day for 4 consecutive days starting from 4 days before developing the model, and the rest procedures were the same as those previously described in IH group. Modified Neurological Severity Score (mNSS) was assessed at 24 h of reperfusion, then the rats were sacrificed and brains were harvested for microscopic examination of brain infarction, neuronal morphology (using HE staining) and for determination of the expression of GSTM1, ASK1, phosphorylated ASK1 (p-ASK1), JNK, phosphorylated JNK (p-JNK), p-38 MAPK and phosphorylated p-38 MAPK (p-p38 MAPK) (by Western blot) and neuronal apoptosis (by TUNEL assay). The percentage of the infarct size was calculated using TTC staining. The apoptosis rate was calculated. Results:Compared with S group, the mNSS, apoptosis rate of neurons, percentage of the cerebral infarct size, p-ASK1/ASK1 ratio, p-JNK/JNK ratio and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK ratio were significantly increased, and the expression of GSTM1 was down-regulated in I/R group ( P<0.05). Compared with I/R group and IH group, the mNSS, apoptosis rate of neurons, percentage of the cerebral infarct size, p-ASK1/ASK1 ratio, p-JNK/JNK ratio and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK ratio were significantly decreased, the expression of GSTM1 was up-regulated ( P<0.05), and the neuronal injury was significantly attenuated in H group. Compared with IH group, the mNSS, apoptosis rate of neurons, percentage of the cerebral infarct size, p-ASK1/ASK1 ratio, p-JNK/JNK ratio and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK ratio were significantly decreased ( P<0.05), no significant change was found in GSTM1 expression ( P>0.05), and the neuronal damage was significantly attenuated in IAH group. Conclusions:The mechanism by which therapeutic hypothermia alleviates CIRI is related to up-regulating the expression of GSTM1 and inhibiting the activation of the ASK1-JNK-p38 MAPK signaling pathway in rats.

Objective:To evaluate the relationship between hippocampal miR-3065-5p and insulin-like growth factor-1/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B(IGF-1/PI3K/Akt)signaling pathway in a mouse model of perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND).Methods:Eighty clean-grade healthy male C75BL/6 mice, aged 12-14 weeks, weighing 20-30 g, were divided them into 4 groups ( n=20 each) using the random number table method: control group (C group), PND group, miR-3065-5p agonist group (Ag group) and miR-3065-5p agonist negative control group (Ag-NC group). PND model was prepared by internal fixation of tibial fracture under anesthesia with 1.5% isoflurane. Two days before developing the model, miR-3065-5p agomir 2 μl was injected into the lateral ventricle in Ag group, miR-3065-5p agomir negative control 2 μl was injected into the lateral ventricle in Ag-NC group. Morris water maze test and open field test were performed at 7 days after surgery. The mice were sacrificed after the end of test, and hippocampal tissues were obtained for determination of the expression of miR-3065-5p, IGF-1 mRNA and Bcl-2 mRNA (by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction) and expression of IGF-1, phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt), phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3β (p-GSK3β) and Bcl-2 (by Western blot). Results:There was no significant difference in each parameter in the open field test among the four groups ( P>0.05). Compared with group C, the postoperative escape latency was significantly prolonged, the percentage of time of stay at the target quadrant was decreased, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, the expression of miR-3065-5p was up-regulated, and the expression of IGF-1 mRNA, Bcl-2 mRNA, IGF-1, p-Akt, p-GSK3β and Bcl-2 was down-regulated in the other three groups ( P<0.05). Compared with PND group and Ag-NC group, the postoperative escape latency was significantly prolonged, the percentage of time of stay at the target quadrant was decreased, the number of crossing the original platform was reduced, the expression of miR-3065-5p was up-regulated, and the expression of IGF-1 mRNA, Bcl-2 mRNA, IGF-1, p-Akt, p-GSK3β and Bcl-2 was down-regulated in Ag group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Up-regulation of miR-3065-5p can inhibit the activation of IGF-1/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, which might be one of the mechanisms of PND developed in mice.

Objective:To investigate the effects of mild hypothermia on microglia polarization and janus kinase 2/signal transduction and transcriptional activation factor 3 (JAK2/STAT3) signaling pathway during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods:Forty-five clean-grade healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 8 weeks, weighing 260-280 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=15 each) by the random number table method: sham operation group (S group), cerebral I/R group (I/R) and mild hypothermia group (H group). In I/R group and H group, cerebral I/R was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion using a nylon thread in anesthetized animals, the nylon thread was removed to restore the perfusion after 2 h of occlusion, and the rectal temperature was maintained at 36-37 ℃ during the period. Group H was wiped with 75% alcohol for 3 h starting from the time point immediately after reperfusion, and the rectal temperature was maintained at 32-33℃. Modified neurological severity score (mNSS) was evaluated at 24 h of reperfusion. Animals were then sacrificed for determination of the cerebral infarct size (using TTC staining), expression of M1 marker inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), M2 marker arginase 1(Arg-1), phosphorylated JAK2(p-JAK2)and phosphorylated STAT3(p-STAT3)(by Western blot), expression of iNOS mRNA and Arg-1 mRNA (by quantitative polymerase chain reaction), and contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-10 (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay). Results:Compared with group S, mNSS and cerebral infarct size were significantly increased, the expression of iNOS, Arg-1 protein and mRNA in cerebral ischemic penumbral zone was up-regulated, and the p-JAK2/JAK2 ratio, p-STAT3/STAT3 ratio, and contents of IL-6 and IL-10 were increased in the other two groups ( P<0.05). Compared with I/R group, mNSS and cerebral infarct size were significantly decreased, the expression of iNOS protein and mRNA in cerebral ischemic penumbral zone was down-regulated, the expression of Arg-1 and mRNA was up-regulated, and the p-JAK2/JAK2 ratio, p-STAT3/STAT3 ratio and IL-6 content were decreased, and the IL-10 content was increased in group H ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Mild hypothermia can promote the polarization shift of microglia from M1 to M2 phenotype during cerebral I/R and inhibit the central inflammatory responses, and the mechanism may be related to inhibition of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in rats.

The human resource management of organ donation coordinators in China is still in its infancy stage, plagued by such problems as unclear career orientation, poor management and unclear career planning. In March 2010, a tertiary public hospital was approved as a medical institution in a national pilot province for organ donation. In recent years, the hospital had kept exploring human resource management of coordinators and established a relatively complete management mode for organ donation coordinators. This mode featured the establishment of full-time recruitment positions, development of human resource management plans, refinement of job descriptions, establishment of performance evaluation plans, optimization of assessment and incentive mechanisms, and innovation of talent cultivation modes. The management practice had achieved certain results, ensuring the sustainable development of hospital organ donation operation, and providing a reference for the scientific and standardized development of organ donation and transplantation in China.
