BACKGROUND:Traditional Chinese medicine has rich experience and unique advantages in the empirical treatment of phlegm-heat and Fu-organs excess syndrome of ischemic stroke.In order to further explore the therapeutic targets and mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine for this disease,it is crucial to establish a stable and reliable animal model of phlegm-heat and Fu-organs excess syndrome combined with empirical symptoms of ischemic stroke. OBJECTIVE:To explore the establishment method and evaluation system of the rat model of ischemic stroke with phlegm-heat and Fu-organ excess syndrome. METHODS:Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups:blank control group(n=12),ischemic stroke group(n=18),disease+syndrome group(n=18),phlegm-heat and Fu-organ excess syndrome group(n=12),all of which were given high-fat diet for 25 days.On the 26th day,the rats in the blank control group and ischemic stroke group were intragastrically given normal saline and high fat diet,while those in the other two groups were intragastrically given autologous feces suspension and high fat diet for 3 continuous days.After gavage,ischemic stroke models were established using the suture method in the ischemic stroke group and disease+syndrome group.The changes in diet,water intake,body mass,body temperature,fecal traits,nasal secretions,sputum in the throat,and tongue image were recorded.Neurological deficits,tongue image,blood lipid levels,morphological changes of brain tissue and carotid artery,and the serum levels of motilin and somatostatin were detected. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group,the rats in the disease+syndrome group had shortness of breath,listlessness,irritability,bradykinesia,a large number of secretions around the nose,audible and heavy sputum in the throat,decreased diet and water intake,increased body mass,body temperature,and slingual vein score,decreased fecal pellet count,Bristol score and fecal moisture content,increased serum total cholesterol,triglyceride,low-density lipoprotein and somatostatin levels,decreased motilin level,increased neurological deficit score,significant pathological changes of the carotid artery,and significant morphological changes of the brain tissue.The ischemic stroke group only showed pathological changes of ischemic brain tissue,without the characteristics of phlegm-heat and Fu-organ excess syndrome.The phlegm-heat and Fu-organ excess syndrome group could present with the typical characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes,without the pathological changes of brain tissue with ischemic stroke.To conclude,the compound modeling method of high-fat induction combined with suture method and autologous feces gavage can establish an animal model of ischemic stroke with phlegm-heat and Fu-organ excess syndrome.

ObjectiveTo analyze the incidence rate and mortality of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and their changing trends among the registered residents in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou City from 2017 to 2023, so as to provide references for formulating policies related to AMI prevention. MethodsThe morbidity and mortality data of AMI among the registered residents in Xiaoshan District from 2017 to 2023 were collected through the Hangzhou Chronic Disease and Death Cause Monitoring System. Software such as Excel 2019, SPSS 25.0 and Joinpoint 4.9.1.0 were used to calculate the incidence rate, mortality, and average annual percentage change (AAPC) of AMI. ResultsFrom 2017 to 2023, the average annual crude incidence rate, age-standardized incidence rate using China standard population (ASIRC), and the age-standardized incidence rate using World standard population (ASIRW) of AMI in Xiaoshan District were 48.25/100 000, 29.14/100 000, and 21.64/100 000, respectively, and, from which the AAPCs were 5.495%, 6.010%, and 6.533%, respectively, all showing an upward trend. The average annual crude mortality rate, the age-standardized mortality rate using China standard population (ASMRC), and the age-standardized mortality rate using World standard population (ASMRW) were 11.76/100 000, 6.52/100 000, and 4.71/100 000, respectively, from which the AAPCs were -9.669%, -10.433% and -9.615%, respectively, all showing a downward trend. The average annual crude incidence rate of AMI was higher in males (65.87/100 000) than that in females (31.31/100 000). Moreover, the average annual crude mortality rate of AMI was higher in males (14.08/100 000) than that in females (9.52/100 000), and the difference was statistically significant (all P<0.001) .After age grouping, the crude incidence rate of AMI among the residents aged 35-, 45-, 55-, and 65- years in Xiaoshan District from 2017 to 2023 showed an upward trend over time, with AAPCs of 16.993%, 17.149%, 8.523%, and 5.002%, respectively. While the crude mortality rate in residents aged 35-, 75-, and 85-102 years showed an decreasing trend over time, with AAPCs of -23.977%, -15.467%, and -17.415%, respectively, but there was no statistically significant difference in the trends in incidence rate and mortality of other age groups (all P>0.05). ConclusionThe situation of AMI prevention and control among the registered residents in Xiaoshan District is not optimistic, and targeted measures should be strengthened for the male residents aged ≥35 years old.

Objective: To analyze the incidence trend of colorectal cancer in Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou City from 2010 to 2024, and predict the incidence of colorectal cancer from 2025 to 2027, so as to provide the evidence for improving the prevention and control strategies of colorectal cancer. Methods: Colorectal cancer incidence data from 2010 to 2024 in Xiaoshan District were collected through the Hangzhou Municipal Chronic Disease Monitoring Management System. The crude incidence of colorectal cancer was calculated, and standardized using the data from the Sixth National Population Census in 2010 (Chinese standardized rate) and the Segi's world standard population (world standardized rate). The trend of colorectal cancer incidence from 2010 to 2024 was analyzed using the average annual percent change (AAPC). An exponential smoothing state space model with trigonometric seasonality, box-cox transformation, ARMA errors, trend and seasonal components (TBATS) was established to forecast the crude incidence of colorectal cancer from 2025 to 2027. Results: There were 10 726 new cases of colorectal cancer in Xiaoshan District from 2010 to 2024. The crude incidence, Chinese standardized rate, and world standardized rate of colorectal cancer were 59.25/100 000, 38.62/100 000 and 29.50/100 000, respectively. The crude incidence, Chinese standardized rate, and world standardized rate of colorectal cancer in males were 70.56/100 000, 44.44/100 000and 35.58/100 000, respectively, while those in females were 48.37/100 000, 32.69/100 000 and 23.70/100 000, respectively. The Chinese standardized rate of colorectal cancer was significantly higher in males than in females (P<0.05). The crude incidence of colorectal cancer in males, females and the whole population showed upward trends from 2010 to 2024 (AAPC=4.916%, 3.795% and 4.442%, all P<0.05). The crude incidence of colorectal cancer in the groups of 0-<35, 35-<50, 50-<75 and ≥75 years were 1.75/100 000, 19.86/100 000, 112.28/100 000 and 272.99/100 000, respectively, showing an increasing trend with age (P<0.05). From 2010 to 2024, the crude incidence of colorectal cancer in the ≥75 years group showed an increasing trend (AAPC=4.470%, P<0.05), while no significant trend was observed in other age groups (all P>0.05). TBATS model demonstrated good fitting (predictive) performance, indicating a year-by-year increase in the crude incidence of colorectal cancer across the whole population from 2025 to 2027, with an estimated rate reaching 70.45/100 000 in 2027. Conclusions The crude incidence of colorectal cancer in Xiaoshan District showed an increasing trend from 2010 to 2024, and it is predicted to continue to increase from 2025 to 2027. Males and the elderly are the key populations for colorectal cancer prevention and control.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the peripheral neural mechanism underlying representation along the distribution of stomach meridian induced by intestinal inflammatory reaction using diarrhea predominant-irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) mice. METHODS: Among 62 healthy male C57BL/6 mice of clean grade, 12 mice were randomly selected and divided into a control group and a model group, 6 mice in each group, additionally, 12 mice were randomly selected and divided into a Tianshu group, a Liangqiu group and a Zusanli group, 4 mice in each group. In the model group, citrobacter was administered orally to establish IBS-D model. In the control group and the model group, the visceral pain threshold was observed using fecal colorectal distension (fCRD) induced electromyography of external oblique muscle, the positive cell number of neutrophil in the colonic muscularis was detected by myeloperoxidase (MPO) staining, the number, location and distribution rule of Evans blue (EB) extravasation points were observed by injection of EB staining solution into the tail vein. In the Tianshu group, the Liangqiu group and the Zusanli group, fluorescent dye Dil was injected at bilateral "Tianshu" (ST25), "Liangqiu" (ST34) and "Zusanli" (ST36) respectively, to observe the dye-positive cell number in different dorsal root ganglion (DRG) segments. In the control group and the model group, the activation of satellite glial cells (SGCs) in different DRG segments was observed by immunofluorescence. RESULTS: Compared with the control group, in the model group, the area under curve of electromyography of external oblique muscle was increased at fCRD of 25, 50 and 75 μL distilled water (P<0.001, P<0.01); the MPO-positive cell number of neutrophil in the colonic muscularis was increased (P<0.01). Few EB extravasation points could be found in the control group, while there were much more EB extravasation points observed in the model group, which was specially distribution in the area of stomach meridian, from "Huaroumen" (ST24) to "Zusanli" (ST36), as well as the surface area dominated by L₂-L₅ segment of the spinal cord. The Dil-positive cells were mainly exhibited in the DRG of T₁₁, L₅ and L₄ segments in the Tianshu group, the Liangqiu group and the Zusanli group, respectively. Compared with the control group, the ratio of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)/glutamine synthetase (GS) co-expression was increased in the DRG of T₁₁, L₄ and L₅ segments in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). CONCLUSION The activation of SGCs within DRG of T₁₁, L₄ and L₅ segments may relate closely to the occurrence of the representation along the stomach meridian distribution in IBS-D mice.

OBJECTIVE To design and synthesize novel α-naphthylthiol amino acid ester lysine specific demethylase 1(LSD1) inhibitors, evaluate their inhibitory activity with selectivity against LSD1, and explore their binding mechanism through molecular docking and dynamics simulation. METHODS Based on the binding mode of hit compound 3a with LSD1, the α- naphthyl mercapto amino acid ethyl ester small molecule compound were designed by fixing the planar hydrophobic naphthyl ring in the structure, while introducing hydrophilic amino fragment, and they were prepared through a multi-component one-pot cascade reaction. All the compounds were evaluated for their inhibitory activity against LSD1 at concentrations of 5.0 and 1.0 μmol·L–1 using the LSD1 screening platform of research group. The most potent compound was tested for its IC50 value and enzyme selectivity over MAO-A and MAO-B, and its binding mode was investigated through molecular docking and dynamics simulation. RESULTS A total of 13 compounds were obtained, all of which exhibited significant inhibitory effects on LSD1. Among them, nine compounds showed an inhibitory rate of over 50.0% against LSD1 at a concentration of 1.0 μmol·L–1, while compound 3l displaying the best activity with an IC50 value of 0.17 μmol·L–1, 174 times higher than the positive control. It also showed excellent selectivity towards MAO-A and MAO-B. Molecular docking and dynamics simulations indicated that compound 3l inhibited the activity of LSD1 through multiple interactions. CONCLUSION The structures of α-naphthylthiol amino acid ester can serve as lead compounds or active fragments, laying a solid foundation for the subsequent design of LSD1 inhibitors based on structure-oriented drug design.

Purpose To construct a benign and malignant prediction model of thyroid nodules based on ultrasound image features and clinical features,and to evaluate its diagnostic efficacy.Materials and Methods The data of 121 patients diagnosed with thyroid nodules admitted to the General Hospital of Northern Theater Command from September 2020 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.Taken surgical pathology as the gold standard,there were 70 benign nodules and 51 malignant nodules.Logistic regression was used to analyze the ultrasound image characteristics and clinical data of thyroid nodules,and the characteristic indexes with statistical differences were obtained and a comprehensive prediction model was established.Results There were significant differences in the maximum diameter,morphology,calcification,capsule continuity,blood flow grade,elastography score and contrast-enhanced ultrasound characteristics between benign and malignant thyroid nodules(χ2=11.709,17.707,6.901,12.785,16.984,57.095,98.854,all P<0.05).There were significant differences in age,free thyroxine/free thyroxine ratio,and free thyroxine between the two groups(χ2/t=5.944,2.519,-2.468,all P<0.05).The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of the clinical model,ultrasonic characteristic model and ultrasonic-clinical combined model were 55.7%,98.6%and 97.0%;72.5%,94.1%and 96.1%;and 61.9%,95.1%and 95.9%,respectively.The area under the curve of the three models were 0.619,0.991 and 0.994,respectively.The diagnostic efficiency of the ultrasonic characteristic model and the combined model was superior to the clinical model,and the difference was statistically significant(Z=-1.75,-2.25,P=0.039,0.012).The area under the curve of the combined model was greater than that of the multi-modal ultrasound model,however,the difference was not statistically significant(Z=-1.60,P=0.054).Conclusion Both the multimodal ultrasound model and the clinical model have certain diagnostic value in predicting benign and malignant thyroid nodules.The diagnostic efficiency of the multimodal ultrasound model is higher than that of the clinical model,and the combined prediction model of the two can improve the diagnostic value.

Objective To construct a risk prediction model of pulmonary involvement based on chest CT and clinical feature in patients with primary Sjogren's syndrome(pSS),and to explore the risk prediction value of the model.Methods A total of 360 pSS patients who had been treated at Handan Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from October 2020 to August 2023 were retrospectively selected as study objects,and were then divided into a modeling group(252 patients)and a verification group(108 patients)according to a ratio of 7∶3.The patients in the modeling group were divided into a control group(201 patients)and an involvement group(51 patients)based on presence or absence of lung involvement.The data on clinical characteristics and features of chest high-resolution CT(HRCT)in the modeling group was collected.Univariate analysis was performed among the groups to determine the relevant factors affecting lung involvement in pSS patients.Binary logistic regression analysis was performed on related factors to screen independent risk factors.A prediction model was established based on the independent risk factors.A verification and value analysis of the column-line prediction model were completed through data collection of the verification group.Results Age,disease course,cough,Raynaud's phenomenon,C-reactive protein(CRP),anti-SSA antibody,and HRCT were the relevant factors affecting lung involvement in pSS patients(all P＜0.05).Further binary logistic regression analysis showed that old age,prolonged disease course,cough and abnormal HRCT imaging were independent risk factors for lung involvement in SS patients(all P＜0.05).A nomogram risk prediction model was constructed based on independent factors.The model verification results indicated that the calibration chart showed better performance in the prediction model.The AUC of the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was 0.993 the modeling group and 0.995 in the validation group.Conclusions The clinical characteristics and the results of chest CT are closely related with lung involvement in patients with pSS.Old age,prolonged disease course,cough,and abnormal HRCT imaging are independent risk factors affecting lung involvement in patients with pSS.The prediction model established on this basis has a higher predictive value for the occurrence of lung involvement in patients receiving after-loading radiotherapy.

Objective To explore the correlation between rs207663 mutation in PARK9 gene and response to cognitive improvement in early Parkinson's disease(PD).Methods A total of 100 pa-tients with early PD treated in Department of Neurology of Handan Fourth Hospital from Octo-ber 2020 to October 2023 were enrolled and subjected as the study group,and another 100 healthy individuals taking physical examinations during the period were assigned into the control group.Their rs207663 polymorphisms of PARK9 gene were detected,and the alleles and genotype distri-bution were compared between the two groups,and the therapeutic effects of the patients with different genotypes were analyzed.Results There were three genotypes in rs207663 of PARK9 gene:GG,GA and AA.The frequencies of GG genotype and G allele were significantly higher in the study group than the control group(40.0％vs 26.0％,P＜0.05;63.0％vs 50.0％,P＜0.01).After treatment,the mini-mental state examination(MMSE)and Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA)scores of the GG,GA and AA genotypes showed an increasing trend,the GG genotype had significantly lower MMSE score[(22.95±1.34)vs(23.89±1.68),P＜0.05]and MoCA score[(24.86±1.83)vs(25.12±1.48),P＜0.05]when compared with the GA genotype.The GA geno-type had notably higher total assets,larger number of safe options and elevated utilization rate of negative feedback than the GG genotype[(-1541.50±537.24)Yuan vs(-3102.00±1274.38)Yuan,P＜0.01;(9.24±3.27)vs(7.11±2.14),P＜0.05;(0.51±0.23)vs(0.35±0.15),P＜0.05].While the AA genotype obtained smaller number of risk options than the GA genotype,and the GA genotype got lower number of risk options than the GG genotype(P＜0.05).Conclusion The rs207663 polymorphism of PARK9 gene is significant associated with the response to improve-ment treatment for early PD.The patients carrying GG genotype have poor response to treatment,the patients carrying GG genotype prefer high-risk and high-reward options,and have low utiliza-tion rate of negative feedback.

Objective:To explore the implicit bias of body image measurement in young and middle-aged people using implicit relational assessment procedure (IRAP) .Methods:ProQuest, Scopus, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, WanFang data, and VIP databases were systematically searched to collect articles on the use of IRAP to measure implicit bias in body image in young and middle-aged populations. The retrieval period was from the establishment of the databases to December 15, 2023. Meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.4 software.Results:A total of 11 articles were included. The results of the Meta-analysis showed that the score of D general (reaction time index of pro-thinness and anti-fat) was 0.09 (95% CI: 0.07~0.11, P<0.01), indicating that compared with overweight/obesity, young and middle-aged people had a strong sense of identification with thinness and a stronger desire for thinness. The score of D thin (reaction time index of pro-thinness) was 0.26 (95% CI: 0.12~0.39, P<0.01), indicating that young and middle-aged people' reaction speed was faster when they agreed with thinness and participants had the desire to be thin. The score of D fat (reaction time index of anti-obesity) was -0.09 (95% CI: -0.21~0.03, P>0.05), indicating that young and middle-aged people had no bias against overweight/obesity. Conclusions:Young and middle-aged people generally have the performance of implicit thinness, with a strong desire for thinness and no implicit bias towards overweight.
