ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of acupuncture combined with levodopa in the treatment of Parkinson's disease（PD）. MethodsA total of 60 patients with PD were enrolled and randomly assigned to test group or control group， with 30 patients in each group. The control group received levodopa only， starting at 100 mg per dose， three times daily， with gradual increases not exceeding a maximum daily dose of 800 mg. The test group received acupuncture three times per week in addition to levodopa. Both groups were treated for 12 weeks. Assessments were conducted before treatment， after 6 and 12 weeks treatment， using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale（UPDRS）， Wearing-Off Questionnaire-9（WOQ-9）， Montreal Cognitive Assessment（MoCA）， Mini-Mental State Examination（MMSE）， Depression Rating Scale（DRS）， Hamilton Depression Scale（HAMD）， Hamilton Anxiety Scale（HAMA）， PD Questionnaire-39（PDQ-39）， and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index（PSQI）. Repeated measures ANOVA was utilized to evaluate the effects of time， group， and their interaction on each index. Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationships between combined treatment and outcome scores. Adverse events in both groups were recorded throughout the study. ResultsBoth groups showed significant improvements after 6 and 12 weeks treatment， with decreases in UPDRS total score， WOQ-9 total score， DRS score， HAMD score， HAMA score， PDQ-39 score， and PSQI score， and increases in MoCA and MMSE scores（P＜0.05）. Compared with the control group， the test group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in all the above indicators after 6 and 12 weeks （P＜0.05）. Repeated measures ANOVA showed significant time main effects， group main effects， and their interaction across all outcome measures（P＜0.01）. Spearman correlation analysis revealed that combined therapy was significantly negatively correlated with UPDRS， WOQ-9， DRS， HAMD， HAMA， PDQ-39， and PSQI scores， while positively correlated with MoCA and MMSE scores after 12 weeks of treatment（P＜0.05）. Both groups did not experience any serious adverse events and did not affect treatment. ConclusionAcupuncture combined with levodopa is more effective than levodopa alone in improving motor function， non-motor symptoms， cognitive function， depression and anxiety， quality of life， and sleep quality in patients with PD， with good safety.

【Objective】 To observe the effect of tele-rehabilitation program on the articulation resolution of preschool children with functional articulation disorders (FAD), so as to provide reference for the clinical application of tele-rehabilitation in this context. 【Methods】 A total of 66 preschool children diagnosed with FAD in the outpatient department of Child Rehabilitation, Tangshan Maternal and Child Health Hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected into this study, and were divided into tele-rehabilitation group (n=32) and control group (n=34) by random number table method. The control group received daily family rehabilitation guidance, while the tele-rehabilitation group underwent a tele-rehabilitation program lasting for 3 months. All children were assessed using the Chinese phonological ability evaluation lexicon before and 3 months after the treatment. 【Results】 After 3 months of treatment, both the tele-rehabilitation group and the control group showed significant improvements in articulation resolution compared to before treatment (t=12.165、12.986, P<0.05). Notably, the tele-rehabilitation group exhibited significantly greater improvement than the control group (t=2.138, P<0.05). Within the tele-rehabilitation group, children were further divided into three subgroups based on the severity of their dysphonia: mild, moderate, and severe. After 3 months of treatment, the articulation resolution of the mild and moderate groups improved significantly compared to before treatment (Z=2.226, 31.900, P<0.05), whereas no statistically significant improvement was observed in the severe group compared to before treatment (Z=1.857, P>0.05). 【Conclusion】 Tele-rehabilitation program effectively improves articulation resolution in preschool children with FAD, especially for mild to moderate preschool children with FAD.

Molecular knowledge of human gastric corpus epithelium remains incomplete. Here, by integrated analyses using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), spatial transcriptomics, and single-cell assay for transposase accessible chromatin sequencing (scATAC-seq) techniques, we uncovered the spatially resolved expression landscape and gene-regulatory network of human gastric corpus epithelium. Specifically, we identified a stem/progenitor cell population in the isthmus of human gastric corpus, where EGF and WNT signaling pathways were activated. Meanwhile, LGR4, but not LGR5, was responsible for the activation of WNT signaling pathway. Importantly, FABP5 and NME1 were identified and validated as crucial for both normal gastric stem/progenitor cells and gastric cancer cells. Finally, we explored the epigenetic regulation of critical genes for gastric corpus epithelium at chromatin state level, and identified several important cell-type-specific transcription factors. In summary, our work provides novel insights to systematically understand the cellular diversity and homeostasis of human gastric corpus epithelium in vivo.

ObjectiveTo study the mechanism of Shenling Guchang prescription on blood glucose of gestational diabetes mellitus rats by regulating intestinal flora and short chain fatty acids. MethodThe 30 pregnant rats were randomly selected from 36 pregnant rats which were successfully pregnant. The model rats were fed with high-fat and high-sugar diet for 1 week， and 35 mg·kg^-1 streptozotocin （ STZ ） was given for 3 consecutive days to construct a gestational diabetes model. After successful modeling， the rats were randomly divided into model group， metformin group， Shenling Guchang prescription low-， medium- and high-dose group. The high dose group of Shenling Guchang prescription was given 18 mg·kg^-1， the middle dose group was given 9 mg·kg^-1， the low dose group was given 4.5 mg·kg^-1 drug solution by gavage， the metformin group was given 52.5 mg·kg^-1 drug solution by gavage， the blank group and the model group were given equal volume of normal saline by gavage.At 24 h after the last administration， blood samples were collected from the tail tip of the rats to measure the blood glucose， and blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta under anesthesia to measure the levels of triglyceride （TG）， total cholesterol （TC）， high density lipoprotein cholesterol （HDL-C） and low density lipoprotein cholesterol （LDL-C）. Lipopolysaccharides （LPS）， interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6）， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） and insulin （INS） were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）.The intestinal tissue of rats was taken， and the pathological changes of intestinal tissue were observed by hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. Fecal samples were collected from rats， 16S rRNA sequencing was used to detect intestinal flora， and short-chain fatty acids were detected by gas chromatography. ResultCompared with the blank group， the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the model group was significantly increased （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the incidence of adverse pregnancy outcomes in the Shenling Guchang prescription groups and the metformin group was significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Compared with the blank group， the levels of blood glucose， TG， TC， HDL-C， LDL-C， LPS， IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α in the model group were significantly increased （P<0.05）， and the intestinal tissues had different degrees of inflammatory changes and mucosal damage. Compared with the model group， the levels of blood glucose， TG， TC， HDL-C， LDL-C， LPS， IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α in each group of Shenling Guchang prescription and metformin group were down-regulated （P<0.05）， and intestinal inflammation and intestinal mucosal damage were improved. Compared with the blank group， the functional structure and diversity of intestinal flora in the model group changed （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the functional structure and diversity of intestinal flora in the Shenling Guchang prescription groups and the metformin group were reversed， and the trend was close to the blank group （P<0.05）.Compared with the blank group， the abundance of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli， Enterococcus， Klebsiella， and Dustella in the model group was significantly increased， and the abundance of probiotics such as Prevotella， Prevotella， Akmania， Rombustella， and Lachnospiraceae was decreased （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the abundance of pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli， Enterococcus， Klebsiella， and Dustella was decreased （P<0.05）， and the abundance of probiotic bacteria such as Prevotella， Akmanella， Rombustella， and Lachnospira was increased （P<0.05） in the Shenling Guchang prescription groups and the metformin group. Compared with the blank group， the content of short-chain fatty acids in the model group was significantly decreased （P<0.05）. Compared with the model group， the content of short-chain fatty acids in each group of Shenling Guchang prescription and metformin group increased （P<0.05）. Correlation analysis showed that Proteobacteria was positively correlated with inflammatory factors， blood glucose and blood lipid in gestational diabetes mellitus （P<0.05）. ConclusionShenling Guchang prescription has a good regulatory effect on blood glucose， blood lipids and adverse pregnancy outcomes in rats with gestational diabetes mellitus. Its efficacy is comparable to that of metformin sustained-release tablets. Its mechanism may be related to regulating the structure of intestinal flora， increasing the content of short-chain fatty acids， reducing LPS， IL-1β， IL-6， TNF-α， and improving intestinal inflammation.

Objective:To explore the role of hippocampal γ oscillation abnormality in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE).Methods:Seventy male Sprague-Dawley rats (2-3 months) were randomly (random number) divided into three groups according to the random digital table method: sham, CLP, and CLP + dopamine 4 (D4) receptor agonists RO-10-5824 group. The SAE animal model was established by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). On day 10-14 after surgery, the open field, novel object recognition, and fear conditioning tests were performed. After that, the hippocampus was collected to measure expressions of parvalbumin (PV) and D4 receptor. In another set of experiment, CA1 local field potential (LFP) were recorded, and the relationship between LFP and time with novel object was analyzed. Independent sample t-test was used for pairwise comparisons, and multiple comparisons were performed by one-way ANOVA, followed by the Tukey multiple comparisons test. Correlation was analyzed using Pearson correlation. Statistical significance was assumed when P<0.05. Results:Compared with the sham group, hippocampal PV (77.54±4.61)%, D4 expression (56.36±3.88)% and γ oscillation power (41.1±8.62)%, object exposure time (36±3) s, new object recognition rate (49±4)%, and scene stiffness time (56±7) s were decreased significantly ( P<0.05). However, RO-10-5824 treatment could increase hippocaml γ oscillation power (92.3±6.7)%, and reverse the decreased new object exposure time (44±3) s and new object recognition rate (63±4)%. Correlation analysis showed that hippocampal γ oscillation power was positively associated with new object exposure time ( r=0.609 2, P=0.015 9). There was no difference in total distance traveled or time spent in the center among groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Hippocampal γ oscillation abnormality might play a key role in cognitive impairment associated with SAE.
