Objective To explore the effect of the pneumatic and electric hand training system with multiple sensory stimulation mo-dalities combined with low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation on hand movement and tactile pressure sensation in patients with stroke.Methods From May,2023 to October,2024,62 stroke patients from the First Affiliated Hospital of University of South China were randomly divided into control group(n=31)and experimental group(n=31).Both groups received conventional rehabilitation,and 1 Hz low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in the primary cerebral motor cortex on the unaffected side,while the experimental group received the pneumatic and electric hand training system with multiple sensory stimulation modalities in addition,for four weeks.They were as-sessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremities(FMA-UE),Motor Assessment Scale(MAS),Semmes Weinstein Monofilament Test(SWMT)and modified Barthel index(MBI)before and after treatment.Results One case dropped out in control group and one in the experimental group.After treatment,the scores of FMA-UE,MAS,SWMT and MBI increased in both groups(|t|>5.464,P<0.001),expect the score of SWMT in the control group(P>0.05),and all scores were better in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|>2.195,P<0.05).Conclusion The pneumatic and electric hand training system with multiple sensory stimulation modalities combined with low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can improve the motor and tactile pressure func-tion of stroke patients,and improve their activity of daily living.

Objective:To analyze the there-dimensional radiographic characteristics of odontogenic myxoma(OM).Methods:Clinical records,histopathological reports,SCT or CBCT images of 18 patients with OM were retrospectively collected,and radiograph-ic features including lesion site,shape,size,expansion,intralesional septa and relationship with surrounding tissues were analyzed.The lesions were classified into types by the forms of septa.Results:18 patients(8 males and 10 females,aged 9-39 years old)were included.Among them,12 lesions(66.7％)were round-like in shape,7(38.9％)were located in the posterior maxilla,and 8(44.4％)in the posterior mandible.According to the septa map,the lesions included 4(22.2％)without septum(unilocular type),4 with(22.2％)sporadic septum on the periphery of the tumor(peripheral type),4(22.2％)with the septum from the periphery towards the center of the tumor(centripetal type)and 6(16.7％)with multiple septa interwoven as grid-like trabeclations(criss-crossing tup).Labial/buccal cortex expansion was present in 11 lesions(61.1％),and palatal cortex expansion in 12 lesions(66.7％).Moreover,cortex discontinuity occurred in 14 lesions(77.8％),impacted tooth was present in 9 lesions(16.7％),and root resorption was present in 8 lesions(44.4％).Conclusion:Most OMs occur in the posterior jaw,with multilocular and discontinued cortex.OMs can be classified into unilocular,perpheral,centripetal and cirss-crossing type by the forms of septa in the lesion.

Objective:An in vivo mammalian hepatocyte Unscheduled DNA Synthesis(UDS)test was used to evaluate the genotoxicity of Cross-linked Sodium Hyaluronate Gel and Bone Repair Materials,providing experimental evidence for establishing a UDS testing method for medical devices and materials.Methods:0.9％sodium chloride injection and cottonseed oil were used as the solvent for test materials and negative control,respectively.N-dimethylnitrosamine(NDMA)was used as the positive control for the early sampling times,and 2-acetylaminofluorene(2-AAF)was used as the positive control for the late sampling times.SD rats were administered a single dose for toxic exposure,and liver tissues were collected at 4 h and 16 h,respectively.Hepatocytes were isolated using collagenase perfusion.After labeling with 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine(EdU),and the net average fluorescence intensity(NAFI)of cell nuclei and nucleoplasm was measured by fluorescence microscope.Data from 50 cells were used to analyze the DNA repair level.Results:Compared with the negative control groups,the positive control groups(NDMA and 2-AAF)showed highly statistically significant differences in NAFI(P＜0.01),indicating successful induction of DNA damage.There was no statistically significant differences between the cross-linked sodium hyaluronate gel groups,bone repair material groups and the negative control group(P＞0.05),suggesting that these materials did not significantly induce DNA damage under the experimental conditions.Conclusion:This study first applied EdU labeling technology to the in vivo hepatic UDS assay,achieving non-radioactive labeling through click chemistry reactions.Under the conditions of this study,cross-linked sodium hyaluronate gel and bone repair materials did not exhibit genotoxicity.In the follow-up,the sample range can be expanded and the observation period can be prolonged to further improve the genotoxicity evaluation system of medical devices.

Objective:To introduce the research and innovations around the application of aquatic rehabilitation techniques in the treatment of lumbago, and to summarize specific methods and applications in aeromedicine. Literature resource and selection Literature on the prevention and treatment of lumbago using aquatic rehabilitation techniques as well as on the rehabilitation of lumbago in pilots was retrieved and selected. Literature quotation Sixty-one references were cited. Literature synthesis Aquatic rehabilitation techniques can be classified into shower therapy, immersion therapy, and aquatic exercise therapy according to treatment regimens. Among them, immersion therapy and aquatic exercise therapy are commonly used in the treatment of lumbago. Aquatic rehabilitation techniques can effectively alleviate patients′ lumbago, improve their functional disorders, and enhance their quality of life. Prior to aquatic therapy, patients with lumbago need to have their motor function assessed to tailor the treatment protocol based on diagnostic findings and specific therapeutic objectives. Aquatic rehabilitation techniques, when used to prevent and treat lumbago in pilots under convalescence, are not only more effective than land-based training, but also more accessible to pilots due to their comfort and compliance. Many of our military rehabilitation and convalescent centers in China have integrated modern aquatic rehabilitation techniques into rehabilitation treatment by drawing on their rich water resources so as to improve the physical and mental health, social adaptability and military adaptability of pilots. Conclusions:When used for the prevention and treatment of lumbago, aquatic rehabilitation techniques are highly effective, safe and enjoyable, so they should be made more accessible to pilots during convalescence.

ObjectiveTo establish a model that can quickly identify the aroma components in different parts of Nardostachys jatamansi， so as to provide a quality control basis for the market circulation and clinical use of N. jatamansi. MethodsHeadspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry（HS-SPME-GC-MS） combined with Smart aroma database and National Institute of Standards and Technology（NIST） database were used to characterize the aroma components in different parts of N. jatamansi， and the aroma components were quantified according to relative response factor（RRF） and three internal standards， and the markers of aroma differences in different parts of N. jatamansi were identified by orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis（OPLS-DA） and cluster thermal analysis based on variable importance in the projection（VIP） value >1 and P<0.01. The odor data of different parts of N. jatamansi were collected by Heracles Ⅱ Neo ultra-fast gas phase electronic nose， and the correlation between compound types of aroma components collected by the ultra-fast gas phase electronic nose and the detection results of HS-SPME-GC-MS was investigated by drawing odor fingerprints and odor response radargrams. Chromatographic peak information with distinguishing ability≥0.700 and peak area≥200 was selected as sensor data， and the rapid identification model of different parts of N. jatamansi was established by principal component analysis（PCA）， discriminant factor alysis（DFA）， soft independent modeling of class analogies（SIMCA） and statistical quality control analysis（SQCA）. ResultsThe HS-SPME-GC-MS results showed that there were 28 common components in the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi， of which 22 could be quantified and 12 significantly different components were screened out. Among these 12 components， the contents of five components（ethyl isovalerate， 2-pentylfuran， benzyl alcohol， nonanal and glacial acetic acid，） in the aboveground part of N. jatamansi were significantly higher than those in the underground part（P<0.01）， the contents of β-ionone， patchouli alcohol， α-caryophyllene， linalyl butyrate， valencene， 1，8-cineole and p-cymene in the underground part of N. jatamansi were significantly higher than those in the aboveground part（P<0.01）. Heracles Ⅱ Neo electronic nose results showed that the PCA discrimination index of the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi was 82， and the contribution rates of the principal component factors were 99.94% and 99.89% when 2 and 3 principal components were extracted， respectively. The contribution rate of the discriminant factor 1 of the DFA model constructed on the basis of PCA was 100%， the validation score of the SIMCA model for discrimination of the two parts was 99， and SQCA could clearly distinguish different parts of N. jatamansi. ConclusionHS-SPME-GC-MS can clarify the differential markers of underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi. The four analytical models provided by Heracles Ⅱ Neo electronic nose（PCA， DFA， SIMCA and SQCA） can realize the rapid identification of different parts of N. jatamansi. Combining the two results， it is speculated that terpenes and carboxylic acids may be the main factors contributing to the difference in aroma between the underground and aboveground parts of N. jatamansi.

Objective To explore the correlation between visceral fat area(VFA)and triglyceride-glucose(TyG)index in people with normal body mass index(BMI)based on quantitative CT(QCT).Methods Totally 1 358 healthy adults with normal BMI who underwent QCT body composition measurement were retrospectively enrolled and divided into normal visceral fat group(normal group,VFA＜100 cm2,n=509),mild visceral fat accumulation group(mild group,100 cmn2≤VFA＜150 cm2,n=431)and severe visceral fat accumulation group(severe group,VFA≥150 cm2,n=418)according to VFA measured with QCT.Pearson and Spearman correlation analysis were performed to observe correlations of TyG index with general data and body composition in 20-40,41-60,61-90 years old men and women with normal BMI,respectively.Multiple linear regression analysis was performed to screen the independent impact factors of TyG index in normal BMI people.Results Low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),total cholesterol(TC),glutamic-pyruvic transaminase(GPT),VFA and subcutaneous fat area(SFA)of men with normal BMI at different age stages were weakly-lowly positively correlated with TyG index(r=0.143-0.459,all P＜0.05),while high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)were weakly-lowly negatively correlated with TyG index(r=-0.410--0.222,all P＜0.05).LDL-C,VFA and SFA of women with normal BMI at different age stages were weakly-lowly positively correlated with TyG index(r=0.206-0.495,all P＜0.05).GPT,TC,VFA and liver fat content(LFC)were all independent risk factors,while HDL-C was independent protective factor for TyG index in people with normal BMI(all P＜0.05).Conclusion VFA was positively correlated with TyG index in people with normal BMI.Measurement of abdominal body composition based on QCT combined with lipid indexes had certain potential for predicting insulin resistance and relative metabolic diseases in abdominal obese people.

Lumbar disc (LD) herniation and aging are prevalent conditions that can result in substantial morbidity. This study aimed to clarify the mechanisms connecting the LD aging and herniation, particularly focusing on cellular senescence and molecular alterations in the nucleus pulposus (NP). We performed a detailed analysis of NP samples from a diverse cohort, including individuals of varying ages and those with diagnosed LD herniation. Our methodology combined histological assessments with single-nucleus RNA sequencing to identify phenotypic and molecular changes related to NP aging and herniation. We discovered that cellular senescence and a decrease in nucleus pulposus progenitor cells (NPPCs) are central to both processes. Additionally, we found an age-related increase in NFAT1 expression that promotes NPPC senescence and contributes to both aging and herniation of LD. This research offers fresh insights into LD aging and its associated pathologies, potentially guiding the development of new therapeutic strategies to target the root causes of LD herniation and aging.
