ObjectiveTo observe the antidepressant effect of Chaihu Shugansan combined with ferulic acid on the rat model of chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) and explore the mechanism from the histomorphology of frontal cortex, expression of key molecules in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)/tyrosine kinase receptor B (TrkB) signaling pathway, and changes in monoamine neurotransmitter levels. MethodsSixty adult male SD rats were randomized into six groups (n=10): blank control, depression model, Chaihu Shugansan (3.3 g·kg-1·d-1), ferulic acid (50 mg·kg-1·d-1), Chaihu Shugansan (3.3 g·kg-1·d-1) + ferulic acid (50 mg·kg-1·d-1), and fluoxetine (2.1 mg·kg-1·d-1). Rats in other groups except the blank control group were subjected to a mild chronic unpredictable stress stimulus every day. Seven stimuli were used, including fasting with free access to water for 24 h, water deprivation with free access to food for 24 h, wetting the bedding with water in the cage, restraint for 3 h, tail clamping for 1 min, swimming in ice water at 4 ℃, and day and night reversal. Each stimulus was used 1 to 3 times, and the modeling lasted for a total of 21 days. At the same time of stimulation, rats in each medication group were treated with corresponding agents by gavage, while those in the blank control group and the depression model group received equal volumes of normal saline by gavage. The open field test, sucrose preference test, and forced swimming test were conducted before and after modeling. The rats were anesthetized by intraperitoneal injection of 3% pentobarbital sodium, and the frontal cortex was isolated on ice. The mRNA and protein levels of BDNF, TrkB, and cyclic adenosine monophosphate-responsive element-binding protein (CREB) in the frontal cortex were determined by Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) and Western blot, respectively. The levels of monoamine neurotransmitters 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), dopamine (DA), and norepinephrine (NE) in the frontal cortex were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Light microscopy was employed to observe the histopathological changes in the frontal cortex. ResultsCompared with the blank control group, the depression model group showed reduced body mass (P<0.05, P<0.01), decreased number of crossings and rearings in the open field test and sucrose preference (P<0.01), prolonged time of immobility in the forced swimming test (P<0.01), reduced neuronal cells, increased necrotic cells, and darkening cell staining in the frontal cortex, down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of BDNF, TrkB, CREB, and lowered levels of 5-HT, NE, and DA in the frontal cortex (P<0.01). Compared with the depression model group, each intervention group showed improved general state, increased body mass (P<0.05), increased number of crossings (P<0.05), shortened immobility time in the forced swimming test (P<0.01), increased neuronal cells, reduced necrotic cells, and lightened cellular staining in the frontal cortex, up-regulated mRNA and protein levels of BDNF, TrkB and CREB, and elevated levels of 5-HT, NE, and DA in the frontal cortex (P<0.01). Moreover, the Chaihu Shugansan + ferulic acid group outperformed the Chaihu Shugansan group and the ferulic acid group in increasing the body mass and the 5-HT content in the frontal cortex (P<0.05). The combination group outperformed the Chaihu Shugansan group regarding the number of rearings and up-regulation in the mRNA level of BDNF in the frontal cortex (P<0.05), and it was superior to the ferulic acid group in terms of shortening the immobility time in the forced swimming test, up-regulating the mRNA levels of BDNF, TrkB, and CREB and the protein levels of BDNF and CREB in the frontal cortex, and increasing the DA content in the frontal cortex (P<0.05). ConclusionChaihu Shugansan combined with ferulic acid can exert antidepressant effect on the rat model of CUMS by regulating the BDNF/TrkB signaling pathway and monoamine neurotransmitter content in the frontal cortex. Moreover, the antidepressant effect of Chaihu Shugansan combined with ferulic acid was more significant than that of Chaihu Shugansan and ferulic acid used alone.

Based on the trinity life view of ''physique, Qi, and spirit'', Chaihu Jia Longgu Mulitang treats the patient's physical symptoms, disorders of Qi movement, and disorders of consciousness, covering the overall treatment and comprehensive nursing of physique, Qi, and spirit. It is widely applied and recognized for its efficacy in modern clinical practice. This paper explored the treatment effect of Chaihu Jia Longgu Mulitang from the trinity life view of ''physique, Qi, and spirit''. This formula mainly targeted patients with Qi deficiency caused by cold, leading to a syndrome of Qi stagnation and water retention in the Triple Energizer Meridian of Hand Lesser Yang (TE), as well as fire-heat syndrome in the Large Intestine Meridian of Hand Yang Brightness (LI) and Stomach Meridian of Foot Yang Brightness (ST), accompanied by disorder of nutrient-blood and subsequent spirit and soul unrest. Accurately judging the imbalance of the patient's physique, Qi, and spirit and using an appropriate combination of medicinals can achieve balance among the three to achieve the best effect. The treatment strategy of Chaihu Jia Longgu Mulitang is as follows: For disorders of Qi movement, such as Qi deficiency, Qi stagnation, and gastrointestinal fire-heat, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma and Bupleuri Radix-Scutellariae Radix, and Rhei Radix et Rhizoma are used in combination. For physical symptoms such as water retention and disorder of nutrient-blood, Poria-Pinelliae Rhizoma-Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, as well as Cinnamomi Ramulus-Jujubae Fructus are used in combination. Finally, Os Draconis-Ostreae Concha-Plumbum Rubrum is used to calm the spirit and soothe the soul. According to existing research, Chaihu Jia Longgu Mulitang has shown good efficacy in treating a variety of complex clinical diseases. This article provides a comprehensive interpretation of Chaihu Jia Longgu Mulitang from the perspective of the trinity life view of ''physique, Qi, and spirit'', offering new insights for clinical syndrome differentiation, treatment, and prescription.

[Objective] To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sacral neuromodulation (SNM) in the treatment of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) complicated with underactive bladder (UAB) who respond poorly to transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). [Methods] A retrospective analysis was performed on 10 patients with BPH and UAB treated with TURP by the same surgeon in Zhongda Hospital Southeast University during Jan.2018 and Jan.2023.The residual urine volume was not significantly relieved after operation, and the maximum urine flow rate and urine volume per discharge were not significantly improved.All patients underwent phase I SNM, and urinary diaries were recorded before and after surgery to observe the average daily frequency of urination, volume per urination, maximum urine flow rate, and residual urine volume. [Results] The operation time was (97.6±11.2) min.During the postoperative test of 2-4 weeks, if the residual urine volume reduction by more than 50% was deemed as effective, SNM was effective in 6 patients (60.0%). Compared with preoperative results, the daily frequency of urination [(20.2±3.8) times vs. (13.2±3.2) times], volume per urination [(119.2±56.7) mL vs. (246.5±59.2) mL], maximum urine flow rate [(8.7±1.5) mL/s vs. (16.5±2.6) mL/s], and residual urine volume [(222.5±55.0) mL vs. (80.8±16.0) mL] were significantly improved, with statistical significance (P<0.05). There were no complications such as bleeding, infection, fever or pain.The 6 patients who had effective outcomes successfully completed phase II surgery, and the fistula was removed.During the follow-up of 1 year, the curative effect was stable, and there were no complications such as electrode displacement, incision infection, or pain in the irritation sites.The residual urine volume of the other 4 unsuccessful patients did not improve significantly, and the electrodes were removed and the vesicostomy tube was retained. [Conclusion] SNM is safe and effective in the treatment of BPH with UAB patients with poor curative effects after TURP.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics and risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with diquat mixed with paraquat poisoning.Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 210 patients admitted to the department of emergency at our hospital with paraquat, diquat or mixed poisoning from January 20, 2016, to June 10, 2024. Based on the detection results of plasma toxicants, patients were categorized into three groups: the paraquat group (PQ group), and the diquat group (DQ group), the diquat-paraquat mixed group (mixed group). We compared clinical indices, occurrence, and severity of AKI among these groups. In the mixed group, patients were further divided into AKI and non-AKI subgroups based on the presence of AKI during hospitalization, and differences in clinical indices between these subgroups were analyzed. Univariate logistic regression and least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (Lasso) regressions were used to screen risk factors, and multivariate logistic regression was applied to establish the model. ROC curves were generated, and factors influencing AKI occurrence in the mixed group were identified.Results:A total of 88 patients were included in the PQ group, 28 in the DQ group, and 57 in the mixed group. Significant differences were observed among the three groups in terms of age, mortality rate, ingestion amount, body mass index(BMI), occurrence of AKI, the incidence of organ support therapy, SIRS score, PSS score, and APACHE Ⅱ score on admission ( P < 0.05). All three groups exhibited various degrees of AKI, with the mixed group showing a higher proportion and more severe conditions. In the mixed group, compared with the non-AKI group, the AKI group showed significantly higher values for age, number of deaths, ingestion amount, SIRS score, PSS score, APACHE Ⅱ score, plasma PQ concentration on admission, plasma DQ concentration on admission, white blood cell count (WBC), neutrophil count (NEUT), monocyte count (MONO), serum creatinine (SCr), procalcitonin (PCT), c-reactive protein (CRP), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), blood lactic acid (Lac), and cystatin C (CysC) ( P < 0.05). Conversely, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) were significantly lower in the AKI group ( P < 0.05). Additionally, in the mixed group, SCr levels at various times post-poisoning were significantly higher compared with the non-AKI group ( P < 0.05), showing an increasing trend and peaking at 212.19 ± 101.67 μmol/L on the fifth day after poisoning. Age, ingestion amount, SIRS score on admission, WBC, MONO, and PCO 2 were extracted by Lasso-Logistic regression. Multivariate logistic regression identified ingestion amount and SIRS score on admission as the independent risk factors for the occurrence of AKI in the mixed group. The area under the ROC curve for ingestion amount and SIRS score on admission was 0.991 (95% CI: 0.976-1.000), the sensitivity was 0.940 and the specificity was 1.000. Conclusions:The diquat mixed with paraquat poisoning is associated with a higher incidence and greater severity of AKI compared with poisoning with either PQ or DQ alone. Additionally, ingestion amount and SIRS score on admission have been identified as independent risk factors for the occurrence of AKI in patients with the mixed poisoning. The combined assessment of these two factors improves AKI prediction in patients with the mixed poisoning.

Purpose The study aimed to analyze the relationship between MET gene variants and clinicopathologi-cal features in patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Next-generation sequencing technology was used to detect MET gene variants in NSCLC specimens.The association between MET gene variant status and clini-copathological features was then analyzed.Results Among 1 633 cases of NSCLC,the overall MET mutation rate was 4.53%(74/1 633).Variants were mainly observed in male patients,never-smokers,those older than 60 years,ade-nocarcinoma histology,and patients with TNM stage Ⅲ+Ⅳ disease(P<0.05).MET gene variant status showed no significant assocication with patient age,sex,smoking history,or pathological subtype(P>0.05),but was statistical-ly correlated with clinical stage and presence of distant metastasis(P<0.05).The two major variant types were MET exon 14 skipping and MET amplification,which together accounted for 71.62%of all variants.In addition,MET am-plification was positively correlated with EGFR(P=0.003,rs=0.340)and TP53 mutations(P=0.002,rs=0.362),but showed no correlation with KRAS or ALK gene mutations.In contrast,MET exon 14 skipping was nega-tively correlated with EGFR gene mutations(P<0.001,rs=-0.409),and showed no significant correlation with KRAS,ALK,or TP53 mutations.Conclusion Different types of MET gene variants(amplification,exon 14 skip-ping,fusion,and others)are significantly associated with clinical advanced clinical stage and distant metastasis in NSCLC,but are independent of patient age,sex,smoking history,and pathological subtype.MET amplification fre-quently co-occur with EGFR and TP53 co-mutations.
