OBJECTIVE To explore the antidepressant mechanism of Wenyang jieyu granules （WYJYG） via the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 （NLRP3）/apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD （ASC）/Caspase-1 pathway. METHODS A rat model of depression was established by chronic unpredictable mild stress combined with single-housing for 42 consecutive days.The experiment set up blank group， model group， MCC950 （NLRP3 inflammasome inhibitor） group （10 mg/kg）， fluoxetine group （positive control，2.08 mg/kg），low-dose WYJYG（3.78 g/kg） and high-dose WYJYG group （7.56 g/kg），with 10 rats in each group. From the 22nd day of the experiment， rats in the fluoxetine group， low-dose and high-dose WYJYG groups were intragastrically administered with the corresponding drugs and intraperitoneally injected with an equal volume of normal saline. Rats in the MCC950 group were intraperitoneally injected with MCC950 at the corresponding concentration and intragastrically administered with an equal volume of distilled water. Rats in the blank group and model group were given an equal volume of distilled water by gavage and an equal volume of normal saline by intraperitoneal injection. All interventions were performed once a day for 21 consecutive days. Behavioral tests were conducted once a week. After the last administration， the contents of ASC， ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 （Iba1）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， and IL-18 in hippocampal tissues were detected. The protein expressions of NLRP3， cluster of differentiation 68 （CD68）， Caspase-1， B-cell lymphoma-2 （Bcl-2）， and Bcl-2-associated X protein were determined， and neuronal apoptosis was observed. RESULTS After the last administration， compared with the model group， the open-field activity time was significantly prolonged （ P ＜0.05）， and the latency to feed in a novel environment was significantly shortened （ P ＜0.05） in rats of the high-dose WYJYG group. In hippocampal tissue， the contents of ASC， Iba1， IL-1β， and IL-18， as well as the protein expression levels of NLRP3， Caspase-1， and CD68， and the positive rate of neuronal apoptosis were all significantly decreased/downregulated （ P ＜0.05）. Bcl-2 protein expression was significantly upregulated （ P ＜0.05）， and the density of neuronal apoptosis-positive cells was significantly reduced （ P ＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS WYJYG play on antidepressant role by inhibiting the NLRP3/ASC/Caspase-1 pathway， reducing microglia-mediated neuroinflammation， and inhibiting hippocampal neurons apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the status of hearing impaired children's hearing device independence skills,and to explore the ways to improve their self-use of hearing equipment.Methods This study surveyed 64 re-habilitation teachers and 411 parents of children with hearing impairment aged 0-12 years.Through face-to-face or remote telephone interview,3 good habits(A asking parents for advice before removing the HA,B putting the de-vice into a moisture-proof box after removing it,C bringing batteries to school and knowing where are them)and 3 key abilities[D wearing the device independently,E replacing the battery independently,and F independently handle foreign bodies in the ear mold(Fa)and water vapor(Fb)]was investigated.The age when mastering skills or de-veloping habits difference of hearing impaired children in different groups were compared.Results ① The ratio of ability D in the bilateral CI group and the bilateral HA group of preschool children was 30.97％and 18.57％respec-tively.Among elementary school children,85.29％and 90.70％had this ability respectively.② The ratio of ability E in the bilateral CI group,the bilateral HA group and the bimodel group were 11.50％,15.71％and 16.49％,re-spectively.Among elementary school children,64.71％,53.49％and 68.52％had this ability,respectively.③Among preschool children,there was no statistical difference in age when different equipment groups developed the three good habits and acquired ability D and E(P＞0.05).④ Among primary school children,there was a statisti-cal difference in the age when different equipment groups formed habit A(P＜0.05),and the age when double CI group had this ability was slightly earlier than the double HA group.There was no significant difference in other abilities among age groups(P＞0.05).Conclusion The age at which hearing impaired children develop the three good habits precedes the age at which they master the key skills,which accords with the law of skill acquisition and development of ordinary children.Corresponding teaching process should be based on the age and ability of hearing-impaired children without considering the type of equipment.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of patients with hepatitis B virus（HBV）-related primary hepatocellular carcinoma（HCC）who were treated in a multidisciplinary team（MDT）for liver cancer，so as to provide a basis for clinical optimization of the diagnosis and treatment of patients with chronic hepatitis B（CHB）.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed for 482 HBV-related HCC patients who were treated with HCC-MDT every Thursday afternoon in The First Affiliated Hospital of the Army Medical University from January 2022 to May 2024，aged 18-87（55.54±10.84）years，86.93%（419/482）males and 13.07%（63/482）females. According to the different underlying liver diseases at the time of initial medical treatment and the different prognostic outcomes at the later follow-up，the differences in clinical characteristics between groups under different conditions were compared and analyzed，and the influencing factors of HCC prognosis were understood by Logistic regression analysis. Results:At the time of MDT presentation，the differences in HBeAg status（ χ2=6.311 ，P=0.043），γ-glutamyl traspeptidase（GGT）（ Z=6.277， P=0.043），alkaline phosphatase（ALP）（ Z=7.236 ，P=0.027），and model for end-stage liver disease（MELD）scores（ Z=6.111， P=0.047）among patients with different underlying liver diseases were statistically significant. At follow-up，6.75%（11/163）of HBV-related HCC patients who presented to MDT had a family history of HCC，and their cumulative mortality rate was as high as 60.8%（205/337）at least for 1 year. Mulitivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that different underlying liver disease at the time of initial medical treatment，HBV DNA replication level，MELD score and choice of anti-cancer treatment regimen were the influencing factors for the prognosis of HCC（all P<0.05）. The worse the degree of cirrhosis at the initial presentation，the higher the level of HBV DNA replication，and the higher the MELD score，the worse the prognosis for HCC. Conclusion:Advancing the diagnosis and treatment of CHB，maximizing the inhibition of HBV DNA replication，reducing the MELD score，and optimizing the anti-cancer treatment regimen can reduce the mortality rate of HBV-related HCC.

Renal artery stenosis(RAS)is a common disease that endangers human health,usually caused by ath-erosclerosis or fibromuscular dyspalsia.RAS is also one of the most common causes of secondary hypertension,often leading to resistant hypertension with markedly elevated renin levels and early onset of progressive renal insufficiency.In addition,the activation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system(RAAS)caused by RAS and pathophysiological changes in-cluding glomerular sclerosis and atrophy,water and sodium retention can also lead to cardiovascular events such as heart failure,pulmonary edema,coronary heart disease and cerebral infarction.Therefore,early recognition of RAS and prompt revascularization in patients with severe stenosis are key to the treatment of RAS.Percutaneous renal artery stenting(PRAS)has become the preferred revascularization for patients with RAS due to its high response rate,minimally invasive-ness,fast recovery and low restenosis rate.However,there are still some unavoidable complications of PRAS,such as aortic dissection,renal artery rupture,puncture vascular aneurysm,contrast allergy and contrast-induced nephropathy.The occurrence of these complications may have adverse consequences for patients,and even death in severe cases.Renal arteriovenous fistula is a very rare complication of PRAS,and clinical experience in its recognition and management is very limited.Few cases that can be collected tend to favor re-surgical intervention.But surgical intervention undoubtedly in-creases the risk of patient suffering and mortality again.Thus,it is of great significance to summarize such complications and give a scientific recommendation to clinicians.This article reports a patient with resistant hypertension who underwent renal arteriography showing severe stenosis of renal vessels and developed a renal arteriovenous fistula after stent implanta-tion.Therefore,it is worth considering whether the renal arteriovenous fistula caused by PRAS should be treated with sur-gical intervention or conservative medical treatment.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of argatroban combined with antiplatelet therapy in patients with acute mild-to-moderate atherosclerotic cerebral infarction within 72 hours after symptom onset. Methods A total of 452 patients with large atherosclerotic cerebral infarction were enrolled and divided into two groups. The combined therapy group (n=286) received argatroban combined with antiplatelet therapy, while the control group (n=166) received antiplatelet therapy alone. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score, modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score, early neurological deterioration (END), and occurrence of bleeding events were compared between the two groups using a Logistic regression model. Results Statistically significant differences were observed in age, smoking history, time from stroke onset to admission, low-density lipoprotein, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) levels between the two groups (P < 0.05). No significant differences were found in infarction location, responsible artery, and atherosclerotic subtype between the combined therapy and control groups (P>0.05). Among patients with atheroscleroticcerebral infarction, the proportion of patients with an mRS score of 0 to 2 at 90 days after combined therapy of argatrobanwas 85.3%, and was 74.5% in the control group (P < 0.05). In patients with an NIHSS score ≥3, the proportion of patients with an mRS score of 0 to 2 at 90 days in the combined therapy group was 19.3%, which was significantly lower than 60.8% in the control group (P < 0.05). For anterior circulation responsible artery occlusion, the proportion of patients with an mRS score of 0 to 2 at 90 days in the combined therapy group was 82.1%, and 67.2% in the control group (P < 0.05). Among atherosclerotic subtypes, the proportion of patients with penetrating artery occlusion and an mRS score of 0 to 2 at 90 days was significantly higher in the combined therapy group compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Argatroban combined with antiplatelet therapy can improve neurological outcomes in patients with acute mild-to-moderate atherosclerotic ischemic stroke without increasing the risk of bleeding. The combined therapy offers more pronounced benefits in patients with anterior circulation ischemia and penetrating artery occlusion.
