Growth arrest DNA damage-inducible protein 45 β (GADD45B) has been reported to be a regulatory factor for active DNA demethylation and is implicated in the modulation of synaptic plasticity and chronic stress-related psychopathological processes. However, its precise role and mechanism of action in stress susceptibility remain elusive. In this study, we found a significant reduction in GADD45B expression specifically in the ventral, but not the dorsal hippocampal CA1 (dCA1) of stress-susceptible mice. Furthermore, we demonstrated that GADD45B negatively regulates susceptibility to social stress and NMDA receptor-dependent long-term potentiation (LTP) in the ventral hippocampal CA1 (vCA1). Importantly, through pharmacological inhibition using the NMDA receptor antagonist MK801, we provided further evidence supporting the hypothesis that GADD45B potentially modulates susceptibility to social stress by influencing NMDA receptor-mediated LTP. Collectively, these results suggested that modulation of NMDA receptor-mediated synaptic plasticity is a pivotal mechanism underlying the regulation of susceptibility to social stress by GADD45B.

Objective:To establish the characteristic spectrum of Liushenqu standard decoction using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC); To determine the contents of related index components; To evaluate the quality of Liushenqu standard decoction.Methods:UPLC method was used to establish characteristic spectrum of Liushenqu standard decoction. Chromatographic Fingerprint Similarity Evaluation System (2012 edition) was used for similarity analysis, the characteristic peak was assigned, and the content of its index components was determined.Results:The characteristic peaks of Liushenqu standard decoction were calibrated and 8 components were identified, namely uridine, adenosine, guanosine, 5-hydroxymethylfurfural, tryptophan, vanillic acid, ferulic acid and shaftaside. The contents of uridine, adenosine, tryptophan ferulic acid and shaftaside in 10 batches of Liushenqu standard decoction were simultaneously determined, and ranged from 0.036 1～0.383 9 mg/g, 0.030 7～0.170 2 mg/g, 0.007 0～0.060 2 mg/g, 0.001 0～0.005 0 mg/g, 0.000 8～0.013 8 mg/g, respectively. The transfer rates ranged from 44.2% to 50.8%, 60.1% to 67.7%, 60.4% to 76.4%, 62.7% to 77.4%, 50.7% to 61.4%, respectively.Conclusion:The established UPLC characteristic spectrum and content determination method are accurate and repeatable, which can provide references for quality control of Liushenqu standard granules.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage commonly presents in traumatic brain injury patients, and it may lead to complications such as meningitis, ventriculitis, brain abscess, subdural hematoma or tension pneumocephalus. When misdiagnosed or inappropriately treated, traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage may result in severe complications and may be life-threatening. Some traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage has concealed manifestations and is prone to misdiagnosis. Due to different sites and mechanisms of trauma and degree of cerebrospinal fluid leak, treatments for traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage varies greatly. Hence, the Craniocerebral Trauma Professional Group of Neurosurgery Branch of Chinese Medical Association and the Neurological Injury Professional Group of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized relevant experts to formulate the " Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage in adults ( version 2023)" based on existing clinical evidence and experience. The consensus consisted of 16 recommendations, covering the leakage diagnosis, localization, treatments, and intracranial infection prevention, so as to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic cerebrospinal fluid leakage and improve the overall prognosis of the patients.

Objective: To understand the epidemiologic characteristics and pathogen spectrum of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in Hunan Province during 2008—2017 and provide the basis for the prevention and control strategy of hand, foot and mouth disease. Methods: Collecting data from national disease reporting information system throughout 2008—2017, the descriptive epidemiological method were used to analyze the data of HFMD monitoring and the result of pathogenic agent detection. Results: A total of 1, 255, 530 HFMD cases were reported throughout 2008—2017, including 10097 severe cases and 394 deaths. The average annual attack rate is 190.38/100, 000. The peak incidence of HFMD occurred in summer and fall. The reported incidence is on the rise. The number of critically ill and the number of deaths is declining. Proportion of male cases was higher than that of females. The majority of the children were those under 5 years of age. Enterovirus (EV)-A71, coxsackievirus (CV)-A16 and other other EV positive cases accounted for 33.29%, 20.04% and 46.67% of laboratory diagnosed cases. Conclusions The epidemic of hand, foot and mouth disease in Hunan has obvious seasonal and population characteristics. There are different dominant pathogens causing HFMD in different years.
