Objective:To compare the differences in repair of rabbit bone defects between allogeneic platelet rich plasma (PRP) gel and autologous PRP gel.Methods:Thirty-six healthy New Zealand white rabbits were selected and randomly divided into an autologous group, an allogeneic group, and a control group ( n=12). A model of bilateral forelimb bone defects was established in each group. The autologous group was repaired with self-made deproteinized bone scaffold materials + autologous bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) + autologous PRP gel, the allogeneic group with self-made deproteinized bone scaffold materials + autologous BMSCs + allogeneic PRP gel, and the control group with only self-made deproteinized bone scaffold materials + autologous BMSCs. At postoperative 1, 2, and 3 months, 4 animals were euthanized in each group, respectively, for gross observation, X-ray examination, Micro-CT examination, biomechanical testing and histological analysis (HE staining for tissue morphology) to compare the differences in repair of bone defects. Results:The formation of trabecular bone, cortical reconstruction, and medullary recanalization occurred earlier in the autologous and allogeneic groups than in the control group. Micro-CT analysis at postoperative 2 months showed that bone mineral density [(281.51±33.69) mg/mL and (266.13±37.13) mg/mL], bone volume fraction (23.52%±2.81% and 21.91%±1.94%), and trabecular number [(1.68±0.29) mm -1 and (1.63±0.22) mm -1] in the autologous and allogeneic groups were significantly higher than those in the control group [(197.47±18.61) mg/mL, 16.54%±3.06%, and (1.06±0.11) mm -1] ( P<0.05). No significant differences were found among the 3 groups in trabecular thickness [(0.33±0.09) mm, (0.42±0.16) mm, and (0.28±0.13) mm] or in the maximum compressive load ( P>0.05). HE staining revealed a significantly greater number and earlier formation of chondrocytes and osteoblasts in the autologous and allogeneic groups than in the control group. Conclusion:Since allogeneic PRP exhibits similar efficacy in promoting new bone formation compared with autologous PRP in a rabbit bone defect model, it may serve as a viable substitute for autologous PRP.

Objective To investigate the relationship between morphometric parameters of the cerebral cortex and the efficacy of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)in the treatment of tardive dyskinesia(TD).Methods A total of 105 schizophrenic patients with TD undergoing basic treatment were enrolled,and randomly divided into group A(n=35),group B(n=35)and group C(n=35).Group A received rTMS at 1 Hz,group B received rTMS at 10 Hz,and group C received sham stimulation.All groups were treated for 12 weeks.The severity of TD was assessed using the Ab-normal Involuntary Movement Scale(AIMS)before and after treatment.The Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status(RBANS)and the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale(PANSS)in Chinese were used to evaluate patients'neuropsychological status and symptom severity.magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)was employed to scan the left prefrontal cortex of patients to obtain parameters of cortical thickness,surface area and volume.Pearson correlation analysis was used to an-alyze the relationship between cortical morphological parameters and the efficacy of rTMS for TD in pa-tients.Results After treatment,AIMS scores in the three groups were significantly lower than before treatment,and the group A was significantly lower than the group B and group C(P＜0.05).After treatment,RBANS scores were significantly higher and PANSS scores were significantly lower in three groups than before treatment(P＜0.05).After treatment,the RBANS score of the group A was significantly higher than that of the group B and group C,and the group B was significantly higher than the group C(P＜0.05);the PANSS score of the group A was significantly lower than that of the group B and group C,and the group B was significantly lower than the group C(P＜0.05).Af-ter treatment,cortical morphological parameters(cortical thickness,surface area and volume)in the group A and group B were significantly higher than before treatment,and the group A was signif-icantly higher than the group B(P＜0.05).The therapeutic effect of the group A was positively correlated with cortical thickness,surface area and volume(P＜0.05).Conclusion The morpho-metric parameters of the left prefrontal cortex are associated with the efficacy of rTMS in treating TD.The rTMS at 1 Hz can facilitate structural remodeling of the motor cortex,thereby improving treat-ment outcomes for TD patients.

Objective To explore the interventional effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on tardive dyskinesia (TD) in schizophrenic patients. Methods A total of 105 schizophrenic patients were selected as subjects and randomly divided into 1 Hz treatment group, 10 Hz treatment group and control group, with 35 patients in each group. All three groups received rTMS treatment for 12 weeks. The Abnormal Involuntary Movement Scale (AIMS), Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms (SANS), Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) and Treatment Emergent Symptom Scale (TESS) scores were compared among the three groups. Physiological indicators such as electrocardiogram, blood routine, blood biochemistry and hormone levels were monitored. Results After treatment, the total AIMS scores in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and those in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The reduction rates of AIMS scores in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were 68.6% and 65.7%, respectively, which were significantly higher than the 22.9% in the control group (P < 0.05). After treatment, the total SANS and PANSS scores in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were significantly lower than before treatment, and those in the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the total AIMS score, efficacy and total PANSS score between the 1 Hz and 10 Hz treatment groups (P>0.05). There were no significant differences in the total TESS scores and physiological indicators among the three groups before and after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion Both 1 Hz and 10 Hz rTMS can effectively improve TD in schizophrenic patients with good safety and have no significant side effects or physiological damage.

Objective:To screen the active components, target genes and signaling pathways of Shaoteng Decoction in the treatment of Sjogren's syndrome by network pharmacology; To conduct relevant experimental verification to explore the mechanism of action of Shaoteng Decoction in the treatment of Sjogren's syndrome.Methods:The active components and targets of Shaoteng Decoction were collected by retrieving TCMSP. The target genes of Sjogren's syndrome were collected through the GeneCards database. The intersection targets of drugs and diseases were obtained by using Venn. The intersection targets were imported into the STRING database to obtain PPI networks, and the "drug-active component -therapeutic target-disease" network was constructed by Cytospace 3.7.2 software. The DAVID database was used for GO function enrichment analysis and KEGG pathway analysis. The 18 NOD mice were divided into model group, TCM group, hydroxychloroquine group, with 6 mice in each group, and 6 Balb/C mice were set as normal control group. TCM group was gavaged with 2.3 g/kg of Shaoteng Decoction, hydroxychloroquine group was gavaged with 60 mg/kg of hydroxychloroquine, and model group and normal control group were gavaged with equal volume of deionized water once a day for 4 consecutive weeks. The daily water intake of mice during the administration period was recorded, the pathological changes of submandibular gland tissue were observed by HE staining, and the levels of serum inflammatory factors IL-17 and TNF-α were determined by ELISA method.Results:39 main active components of Shaoteng Decoction, 1 062 targets of Sjogren's syndrome, and 64 targets of drug and disease intersection were obtained, including TNF, IL6, NCOA1, AKT1, TP53, etc. The treatment targets of Sjogren's syndrome mainly affected biological processes such as response to bacterium and cellular response to lipid, and regulated TNF-α pathway and IL-17 signaling pathway. The experimental results showed that the levels of TNF-α and IL-17 in the TCM group were lower than those in the model group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Shaoteng Decoction can regulate IL-17 and TNF-α signaling pathways, inhibit inflammation, delay submandibular gland disruption, and alleviate the symptoms of Sjogren's syndrome.

Objective:To study the pharmacodynamics of Shaoteng Decoction obtained by three different extraction methods; To explore the immunosuppressive effect of Shaoteng Decoction; To optimize the extraction process.Methods:The extract of Shaoteng Decoction was prepared by water extraction, 70% ethanol extraction and water extraction and alcohol precipitation respectively. Totally 30 NOD mice were randomly divided into Shaoteng Decoction water extraction group (processⅠ), Shaoteng Decoction 70% ethanol extraction group (processⅡ), Shaoteng Decoction water extraction and alcohol precipitation group (processⅢ), model group and hydroxychloroquine group according to their body weight, with 6 mice in each group. Another 6 Balb/C mice were set as normal control group. In the processⅠ, process Ⅱ, and process Ⅲ groups, 16 g/kg of Shaoteng Decoction extract was given by gavage, while in the hydroxychloroquine group, 60 mg/kg of hydroxychloroquine sulfate was given by gavage. The normal control group and the model group were given the same volume of deionized water once a day for 4 weeks. After the last administration, the spleen index and submandibular gland index were calculated, the pathological morphology of submandibular gland was observed by HE staining, and the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), estradiol (E 2) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) were determined by ELISA. Results:Compared with the model group, the spleen index of each drug group decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the submandibular gland index of the process Ⅲ group and hydroxychloroquine group increased ( P < 0.01). The pathological score of submandibular gland in each administration group decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), the serum levels of IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and IgG decreased ( P<0.01 or P<0.05), and the DHEA level increased ( P<0.01 or P < 0.05).

Conclusion:Shaoteng Decoction can effectively reduce inflammation and inhibit immunity of NOD mice. In addition, the extract under the process of water extraction and alcohol precipitation has better efficacy, which is the optimal technology.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of gender on neuromuscular blockade of rocuronium in epileptics.Methods:Forty American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients, aged 18-59 yr, with body mass index of 18.5-24.0 kg/m 2, scheduled for elective surgery for treatment of epilepsy under general anesthesia, were divided into 2 groups ( n=20 each) according to gender: male group (group M) and female group (group F). Neuromuscular conduction function was monitored with a muscle relaxation monitor.Ulnar nerve was stimulated in TOF mode (frequency 2 Hz, wave width 0.2 ms, stimulation current 70 mA and interval 12 s). Rocuronium 0.8 mg/kg was injected intravenously during anesthesia induction, and endotracheal intubation was performed when T l reached maximum inhibition.The conditions of endotracheal intubation were evaluated by the modified method.When T 1 recovered to 25% during operation, rocuronium 0.15 mg/kg was intravenously injected.Sugammadex sodium 2 mg/kg was injected intravenously when T 1 recovered to 50% after surgery.The onset time (T onset), peak time (T peak), 10% recovery time (T 10%), 10%-25% recovery time (T 10%-25%), 25%-50% recovery time (T 25%-50%), 50%-75% recovery time (T 50%-75%) and 75%-90% recovery time (T 75%-90%) of rocuronium were recorded.Peripheral venous blood samples (3 ml) were collected when T 1 recovered to 25% and 75%, and the concentration of rocuronium was detected by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrum.The consumption of rocuronium per unit of weight per minute was calculated. Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of T onset, T peak, T 10%, T 10%-25%, T 25%-50%, T 50%-75%, T 75%-90%, endotracheal intubation conditions, blood concentration of rocuronium at varied time points, or consumption of rocuronium per unit of weight per minute ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Gender exerts no effect on the neuromuscular blockade of rocuronium in epileptics.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the influencing factors of the occurrence of propagated sensation effects at Zusanli (ST 36) based on artificial intelligence technology. METHODS: A total of 272 undergraduates and postgraduates of Guangzhou University of TCM were recruited. The basic information, including TCM constitution, body weight index (BMI), pulse, tongue and coating, face complexion, as well as the occurrence of propagated sensation effects at Zusanli (ST 36) with different acupuncture needles and techniques, were recorded. The repeated incremental pruning to produce error reduction (RIPPER) algorithm was applied to predict the results and summarize the rules of relevant factors. RESULTS: ① The propagated sensation effects were often observed in the subject with -deficiency constitution (55 cases in total, of them 1 case was misclassified). ② The propagated sensation effects were observed in the subject with balanced - constitution (39 cases in total, of them 0 case was misclassified). ③ The propagated sensation effects were observed in the subject with phlegm-damp constitution combined with thin tongue and white coating (31 cases in total, of them 8 cases were misclassified). ④ The propagated sensation effects were observed in the subject with phlegm-damp constitution combined with light tongue coating (7 cases in total, of them 2 cases were misclassified). ⑤ The propagated sensation effects were observed in all the subject with special constitution (6 cases in total, of them 0 cases were misclassified). ⑥ The propagated sensation effects were not observed in the subject with other constitution or the combination of constitution and symptoms (134 cases in total, of them 4 cases were misclassified). The accuracy rate of classification was 94.49%. The difference of acupuncture needles and techniques was not significant in propagated sensation effects (>0.05). CONCLUSION The TCM constitution may be the most essential factor in the occurrence of propagated sensation effects.
