Objective:To explore the application effect of hydration therapy in patients with intermittent claudication (IC) of peripheral arterial disease, and to provide reference for clinical application.Methods:A randomized controlled trial method was used to select 86 patients with IC of peripheral arterial disease who attended the Department of Vascular Surgery of Shanxi Bethune Hospital from June to September 2023 as the study subjects by convenience sampling method, and they were divided into the control group and the intervention group by using the method of randomized numerical table, each group had 43 cases. In the control group, routine care was provided, and in the intervention group, hydration therapy was implemented on the basis of the control group. Ankle-brachial index, transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen, and claudication distance were assessed in both groups 1d before and 6 months after the intervention.Results:Forty-two patients in each group completed the study, 21 males and 21 females, aged (61.33 ± 8.93) years in the intervention group; 24 males and 18 females, aged (61.33 ± 9.01) years in the control group. Compared with the ankle-brachial index, transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure and limp distance of the 2 groups 1 d before intervention, the differences were not statistically significant (all P>0.05), and 6 months after the intervention, the transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure of the patients in the intervention group was (37.69 ± 8.86) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), and that of the control group was (29.69 ± 7.79) mmHg, and the differences between the 2 groups were statistically significant ( t=4.40, P<0.05). The differences in patients′ transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen and limp distance before and after intervention in the intervention group were -7.00 (-13.00, -1.75) mmHg and -50.00 (-100.00, 0.00) m, respectively, and in the control group were 0.01 (-1.00, 1.00) mmHg and 0.01 (-1.25, 20.00) m, respectively, and the differences between the 2 groups were statistically were statistically significant ( Z=5.59, 4.33, both P<0.05). Conclusions:Hydration therapy improves transcutaneous oxygen partial pressure values and claudication distance in patients with peripheral arterial disease IC, and improves microcirculation of the affected limbs in patients.

The management of antibiotic-resistant, bacterial biofilm infections in skin wounds poses an increasingly challenging clinical scenario. Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection is difficult to eradicate because of biofilm formation and antibiotic resistance. In this study, we identified a new benzothiazole derivative compound, SN12 (IC₅₀ = 43.3 nmol/L), demonstrating remarkable biofilm inhibition at nanomolar concentrations in vitro. In further activity assays and mechanistic studies, we formulated an unconventional strategy for combating P. aeruginosa-derived infections by targeting the two-component (Gac/Rsm) system. Furthermore, SN12 slowed the development of ciprofloxacin and tobramycin resistance. By using murine skin wound infection models, we observed that SN12 significantly augmented the antibacterial effects of three widely used antibiotics-tobramycin (100-fold), vancomycin (200-fold), and ciprofloxacin (1000-fold)-compared with single-dose antibiotic treatments for P. aeruginosa infection in vivo. The findings of this study suggest the potential of SN12 as a promising antibacterial synergist, highlighting the effectiveness of targeting the two-component system in treating challenging bacterial biofilm infections in humans.

Objective:To investigate the changes of hippocampal gray matter volume and expression of candidate immune related genes in a rat model of schizophrenia established by repeated administration of dizocilpine(MK-801).Methods:Thirty SPF grade Sprague-Dawley male rats at postnatal day 28 were randomly divided into MK-801 medium-dose (0.25 mg/kg) group, MK-801 high-dose(0.50 mg/kg) group and normal saline (5 mL/kg) group according to random number table method, with 10 in each group.Rats were given continuous intraperitoneal administration according to grouping once a day for 14 days.Open field test, novel object recognition test and Y-maze test were used at postnatal day 60 to detect spontaneous activity, exploration ability, anxiety level, object recognition memory ability and spatial working memory of rats, respectively.At postnatal day 67, structural magnetic resonance imaging was used to detect the changes of hippocampal gray matter volume in rat.And at postnatal day 70, qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression of candidate immune-related genes in rat hippocampus.SPSS 25.0 was used for statistical analysis, one-way ANOVA was used for comparison among multiple groups, and Tukey test was used for further pairwise comparisons.Results:(1)The behavioral results showed that there were significant differences in the total movement distance, central area activity time, novel object recognition index, and spontaneous correct alternation rate among the three groups ( F=11.15, 10.11, 13.62, 11.99, all P<0.05). The total movement distances in MK-801 medium-dose group and MK-801 high-dose group ((21.44±2.17) m, (22.87±1.96)m) were higher than that in the normal saline group ((18.70±1.88) m) (both P<0.05). The activity time of the central area in the MK-801 medium-dose group and MK-801 high-dose group((3.24±1.58) s, (2.50±1.32) s) were lower than that of the normal saline group ((6.05±2.48)s) (both P<0.01). Novel object recognition indexes in the MK-801 medium-dose group and MK-801 high-dose group((56.10±3.99)%, (54.00±6.41)%) were both lower than that in the normal saline group ((65.90±5.65)%)(both P<0.01), and the rates of spontaneous correct alternation ((54.60±7.03)%, (51.60±8.84)%) in the two groups were lower than that of the normal saline group ((68.40±8.57)%) (both P<0.01). (2) The results of structural magnetic resonance imaging showed that there were significant differences in the volume of hippocampal gray matter among the three groups ( F=9.24, P<0.001). The volumes of hippocampal gray matter in MK-801 medium-dose group and MK-801 high-dose group were lower than that in normal saline group(both P<0.001). (3)By constructing protein-protein interaction network, four candidate immune related genes were screened out: neuropeptide Y (NPY), somatostatin (SST), cholecystokinin (CCK) and tachykinin 1 (TAC1). The results showed that the mRNA expression levels of NPY, SST and CCK in the hippocampus of the three groups were significantly different ( F=11.41, 10.43, 5.85, all P<0.05), but there was no statistical difference in the TAC1 mRNA expression level ( F=0.08, P>0.05). The mRNA levels of NPY, SST and CCK in the hippocampus of rats in the MK-801 high-dose group were lower than those in the normal saline group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Both medium dose and high dose MK-801 administration can reduce the volume of hippocampal gray matter in schizophrenia model rats, but they have different effects on the expression of hippocampal immune related genes, of which high dose administration has a greater effect.

Objective:To compare the expression levels of candidate genes before and after Shuganjieyu capsule treatment, to analyze their correlation with depression symptoms and cognitive function, and to find and clarify the biomarkers related to the efficacy of Shuganjieyu capsule.Methods:Among 27 patients with mild to moderate depression (MMD), 24 items Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD-24) was used to assess the severity of depression, Chinese revised Wechsler adult intelligence scale(WAIS-RC) and Chinese revised Wechsler memory scale(WMS) were used to assess cognitive function, and qRT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of candidate genes in peripheral blood of patients with depression before and after treatment with Shuganjieyu capsule.SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis, paired t-test, non-parametric test, Spearman correlation analysis and receiver operating characteristic curve were used for data statistics. Results:The symptoms of MMD patients were relieved after Shuganjieyu capsule treatment(HAMD scores: baseline 14.00(9.75, 18.25), 8-week 4.00(2.00, 7.25), Z=-4.462, P<0.01), and the verbal intelligence quotient(VIQ) of WMS was puomoved (VIQ scores: baseline (123.00±10.24), 8-week (128.00±6.77), t=4.372, P<0.01). The level of gene expression brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) (baseline 1.68(0.92, 2.63), 8-week 2.30(1.47, 4.34), Z=-2.781, P=0.005), glial cell derived neurotrophic factor(GDNF) (baseline 0.74(0.31, 1.15), 8-week 0.97(0.50, 1.71), Z=-2.159, P=0.031), 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A(HTR2A) (baseline 0.60(0.39, 1.60), 8-week 0.98(0.44, 2.29), Z=-1.994, P=0.046) and glutamate ionotropic receptor AMPA type subunit 1(GRIA1) (baseline 1.19(0.66, 2.40), 8-week 1.76(0.86, 4.13), Z=-2.756, P=0.006) was up-regulated after treatment.The change rate of BDNF expression were correlated with the score of HAMD-24 ( r=-0.35, P=0.038) and performance intelligence quotient of WMS ( r=0.40, P=0.022). Conclusions:BDNF may be used as a therapeutic marker of Shuganjieyu capsule in the treatment of clinical symptoms and cognitive function of MMD patients, which is used to evaluate the efficacy of antidepressants.

Objective:To investigate the status quo of anticoagulant therapy for patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) in Beijing community health centers and to analyze the affecting factors.Methods:From September to December 2020, 164 patients with NVAF in five community health service centers in Xicheng District of Beijing were selected for a face-to-face questionnaire survey. The questionnaire included basic information of patients, complications, CHA 2DS 2-VASc score, HAS-BLED score and oral anticoagulant therapy, et al. SPSS 23.0 software was used to analyze the status of anticoagulant therapy in patients with different risk stratification of stroke, and chi-square was used to analyze the factors affecting anticoagulant therapy in high-risk patients with stroke. Results:In 161 NVAF patients with indication, 86 received anticoagulation therapy (53.4%), and the utilization rates of rivaroxaban, dabigatran and warfarin were 64.0% (55/86), 26.7% (23/86) and 9.3% (8/86), respectively. In 140 patients (85.4%, 140/164) at high risk of stroke (CHA 2DS 2-VASc score ≥2 points in males or ≥3 points in females), 30.0% (42/140) had never received anticoagulant therapy, and 29.3% (41/140) was treated with antiplatelet therapy, 17.1% (24/140) did not use any antithrombotic medication. Univariate analysis showed that gender, age, symptoms at first diagnosis and complications were not significantly associated with the application of anticoagulant therapy in NVAF patients at high-risk of stoke ( P>0.05). The qualitative study showed that the reasons for not receiving anticoagulant therapy were spontaneous cardioversion or recovery of sinus rhythm after ablation (15 cases), adverse drug reactions (7 cases), self-withdrawal of drugs (10 cases), concern about bleeding (3 cases) and so on. Conclusion:A large proportion of NVAF patients in the community are at high risk of stroke, while the overall rate of anticoagulant treatment is relatively low. Clinician in the community should actively initiate anticoagulant therapy for patients with AF and strengthen the continuous management and compliance management of anticoagulant therapy.

Objective:To investigate the knowledge status and health education needs of patients with atrial fibrillation in the community.Methods:From September to December 2020, 277 patients with atrial fibrillation from 5 community health service centers in Xicheng District of Beijing were selected using typical sampling method for online questionnaire survey. The questionnaire mainly contained basic information of patients, the knowledge of atrial fibrillation and the health education needs. Factors affecting patients′ knowledge level and health education needs were analyzed.Results:The overall awareness rate of disease-related knowledge in 277 patients with atrial fibrillation was 67.1% (1 860/2 770), and in aspects of antithrombotic effect of aspirin [12.3% (34/277)], the benefits and risks of anticoagulation therapy [52.7% (146/277)] and atrial fibrillation discontinuation [55.2% (153/277)], the awareness rates were relatively low. Compared with patients in the age group of 66-79 years and ≥80 years old, those aged ≤65 years had higher awareness rates in knowledge of purpose of anticoagulantion therapy [89.7% (70/78)] and adverse reactions of anticoagulation drugs [89.7% (70/78)] (χ2=6.72, 8.77; P<0.05), but the awareness rate of the benefits and harms of anticoagulation therapy [43.6% (34/78)] was lower (χ2=6.11, P<0.05). The top three health education needs of patients were the impact of atrial fibrillation on the body (3.66±1.77), the method of treating atrial fibrillation (3.65±1.13) and the prognosis with different treatments (3.62±1.15). Further analysis showed that in patients with disease duration ≤5 years, the education needs for the purpose of anticoagulation therapy (3.60±1.17), exercise methods (3.62±1.12), dietary taboos (3.63±1.16), and how to communicate with family and friends(3.33±1.29) were higher than those with a disease duration of more than 5 years ( t=2.03, 2.88, 2.05, 2.07; P<0.05). Doctors [98.6% (273/277)], nurses [40.8% (113/277)] and health education lectures [36.8% (102/277)] were the main sources for patients to acquire knowledge about atrial fibrillation. Most patients had the strongest motivation to obtain health education at the time of disease diagnosis [70.0% (194/277)]. Conclusions:There is insufficient understanding of the disease in patients with atrial fibrillation in the community, and the needs for patients to get health education are high. It is necessary to pay more attention to the early health education in patients with younger age and shorter course of disease.

During the COVID-19 epidemic period, general practitioners have been actively participating in screening and triage, referrals, follow-up, education and other activities related to disease prevention and control at the grass-roots level. However, there are still some problems: such as unclear of the role of general practitioners in an epidemic setting, inadequate ability to respond to public health emergencies and lack of knowledge of infectious diseases. To meet the challenge of COVID-19 pandemic, with the reference of Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) six core clinical competencies we suggest to improve the standardized general practice residency training in following aspects: to attach importance to infectious disease rotation, to increase the stomatology and nutrition course learning, to strengthen teaching in general practice service model, preventive medicine and medical humanities, to enhance the ability for dealing with public health emergencies, the evidence-based medicine and scientific research ability and doctor-patient communication ability.

We report a case of fetal cerebellar vermis dysplasia diagnosed prenatally by ultrasonography. Ultrasonography of the 27-year-old woman at 20 +6 gestational weeks revealed partial separation of the cerebellar vermis (Dandy-Walker variants), unclosable upper and lower lips, and polydactyly, based on which a preliminary diagnosis of multiple fetal malformations was made. Karyotype and chromosomal microarray (CMA) analysis of the amniotic fluid showed no abnormality. After genetic counseling, amniocentesis was performed again for a whole-exome sequencing test. The results suggested that there are compound heterozygous variations of c.3435G>A(P.W1145X) and c.2941C>G(p. p981A) in the exon 19 and exon 17 of the CPLANE1 gene, which were both de novo mutations and inherited from the father and mother, respectively. The fetus was diagnosed as Joubert syndrome. Given the facial and limb deformities and a significant risk of neurological abnormalities of the fetus, the patient and her family decided to terminate the pregnancy.
