Traumatic brain injury (TBI), as a significant central nervous system damage disease with high frequency in the world, leads to a huge number of patients with impaired health and lower quality of life every year. Lung injury is a common and dangerous consequence, which dramatically raises the mortality of patients. Discovering the pathophysiology of lung injury after TBI and discovering viable therapeutic targets has become an important need for clinical diagnosis and therapy. Neurotransmitters, as the fundamental chemical agents of the nervous system for signal transmission, not only govern neuronal activity and apoptosis in TBI but also significantly influence the pathophysiological mechanisms of lung injury subsequent to TBI. The imbalance is intricately linked to the onset and progression of lung damage. This paper systematically reviews the clinical characteristics and predominant pathogenesis of lung injury following TBI, emphasizing the role of key neurotransmitters, including glutamate (Glu), γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), and acetylcholine (ACh), in lung injury post-TBI. It examines their influence on inflammatory response, vascular permeability, and pulmonary circulation function. Additionally, the paper evaluates the research advancements and potential applications of targeted therapeutic strategies for various neurotransmitter systems, such as receptor antagonists, transporter inhibitors, and neurotransmitter analogues. This research aims to offer a theoretical framework for clarifying the neural regulatory mechanisms of lung injury following TBI and to establish a basis for the development of novel therapeutic strategies and enhancement of the prognosis of the patients.

Objective:To explore the application value of the "Dual-Wing" traction technique in the medial & head lateral laparoscopic left hemicolectomy with radical resection.Methods:The "Dual-Wing " traction technique is based on the theory of mesenteric anatomy. The assistant lifts the proper mesentery of the digestive tract to be resected or the adjacent mesenteric tissue connected to it,thereby elevating the target organ and its mesentery as a whole away from the mesenteric bed. By utilizing the tension transmission between the proper mesenteries of adjacent organs to create counter-tension,the surgeon's operative actions are always maintained along the line of maximum counter-tension.After incising the mesenteric fusion line,this technique assists the surgeon in entering the fusion plane. A descriptive case series study method was adopted to retrospectively analyze the clinical and pathological data of 37 colorectal cancer patients who underwent laparoscopic left hemicolectomy with the "Dual-Wing" traction technique via a medial and cephalad approach, performed by the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery at Dongjie Campus of the First Hospital of Quanzhou, Fujian Medical University, from May 2023 to November 2023.Results:All patients successfully underwent laparoscopic left hemicolectomy via the medial & head lateral approach using the "Dual-Wing" traction technique.The surgery adhered to the principles of total mesocolic excision and safely mobilized the left colon and its mesentery from the correct anatomical plane. In the entire group of patients,there were 14 males and 23 females; the mean operative time was 94.1±18.3 minutes; the mean intraoperative blood loss was 9.8±5.4 ml; the mean number of lymph nodes dissected was 18.1±3.9; the mean number of positive lymph nodes was 1.4±1.6; the pathological specimen resection margin grading was Grade A in 29 cases, Grade B in 8 cases, and no Grade C cases; the tumor TNM staging was Stage I in 3 cases, Stage IIA in 7 cases, Stage IIB in 6 cases, Stage IIIA in 2 cases, Stage IIIB in 15 cases, and Stage IIIC in 4 cases; the mean time to first flatus postoperatively was 35.7±7.5 hours; the mean length of hospital stay was 9.1±1.7 days. There were no intraoperative injuries to the pancreas or spleen. Postoperative complications occurred in 3 cases. No anastomotic leakage was observed in the entire group, and there were no deaths following the surgery.Conclusion:The application of the "Dual-Wing" traction technique to establish a stable surgical scenario can significantly reduce the demands on the assistant. It is conducive to maintaining mesenteric tension and fully exposing the surgical field. It also allows for the rapid identification and maintenance of the correct anatomical plane. For colorectal cancer patients, the surgery is safe and feasible, with satisfactory short-term therapeutic effects.

Objective:To explore the classification and influencing factors of family resilience and post-traumatic growth in patients with spinal tumor.Methods:A cross-sectional investigation was conducted among 219 inpatients with spinal tumor admitted from July 2021 to July 2022. The General Demographic Information questionnaire, Chinese-Family Resilience Assessment Scale, Posttraumatic Growth Inventory, Family Crisis-Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales (F-COPES), and Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) were used in the study. The ordinal and multivariate logistic regression analyses was applied to identify the factors associated with the classification of family resilience and post-traumatic growth.Results:Of the 219 patients, there were 62 cases of primary spinal tumors (28.3%). According to the results of latent profile analysis, the respondents were classified into three categories by family resilience and post-traumatic growth, namely family difficulty-resistant type ( n=38, 17.4%), general resilience-struggle type ( n=99, 45.2%) and family adaptation-growth type ( n=82, 37.4%). There were significant differences in occupational status, commitment to housework, family atmosphere( χ2=10.75, P=0.025; χ2=6.95, P=0.031; χ2=11.37, P=0.017), and total score of F-COPES and SSRS ( F=25.95, P<0.001; F=19.06, P<0.001)among three groups. Ordinal and multivariate logisitc regression analyses showed that retirement ( OR=2.928, 95% CI:1.098-7.808, P<0.05), family coping ( OR=1.113, 95% CI:1.063-1.165, P<0.05), and social support ( OR=1.226, 95% CI:1.103-1.362, P<0.05) were independently associated with family resilience and post-traumatic growth in patients with spinal tumor. Conclusion:Patients with spinal tumor have significant differences in characteristics by family resilience and post-traumatic growth. As a result, more targeted interventions should be provided for different categories of spinal tumor patients in the future.

In this study, 34 deep eutectic solvents (DESs) were successfully prepared for the extraction of proanthocyanidin from Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix et Rhizomes. The extraction process was optimized using single factor exploration and Box-Behnken design-response surface analysis. The extraction rate was significantly improved when the molar ratio of choline chloride to 1,3-propanediol was 1:3.5 and the water content was 30% (V/V) in DESs. AB-8 macroporous resin and ethyl acetate were used for separation and refining, and the oligomer-rich proanthocyanidin components were eventually obtained. The ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) spectra showed that the proanthocyanidins were mainly composed of catechin and epicatechin. To further clarify the chemical composition of proanthocyanidin, an ion scan list containing 156 proanthocyanidins precursors was obtained by constructing a proanthocyanidins structural library and mass defect filtering (MDF) algorithm, combined with the full mass spectrometry (MS)/dd-MS² scan mode that turns on the "if idle pick others" function. By using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography and high-resolution MS (UHPLC/HRMS), the analysis used both targeted and non-targeted methods to detect proanthocyanidins. Finally, 50 oligomeric proanthocyanidin (OPC) compounds were identified, including 7 monomers, 22 dimers, 20 trimers, and 1 tetramer, most of which were procyanidins of proanthocyanidins (84%), and a small amount of prodelphinidin (14%) and other types of proanthocyanidins (2%), which enabled the systematic characterization of proanthocyanidin components from Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix et Rhizomes. Meanwhile, the comparison with the grape seeds OPCs standard (United States Pharmacopeia) revealed that the proanthocyanidins in Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix et Rhizomes were more abundant, suggesting that the proanthocyanidins in Rhodiolae Crenulatae Radix et Rhizomes has promising applications.

Objective To construct a rehabilitation care platform for spinal cord injury patients,based on patient portrait technology and to validate its application effect.Methods Artificial intelligence technology was used to realize the fusion of data.We constructed a patient portrait rehabilitation nursing system that can provide systematic and personalized information support.By the convenience sampling method,53 perioperative patients with spinal cord injury from July 2023 to December 2023 were selected as the test group to implement the intelligent intervention based on patient portrait technology;53 perioperative patients with spinal cord injury who were hospitalized from January 2023 to June 2023 were selected as the control group to implement the conventional information support intervention.The self-efficacy,self-care ability,and quality of life were compared before the intervention,and 2 weeks,4 weeks,12 weeks after the intervention between the 2 groups.Results 45 cases in the experimental group and 43 cases in the control group reached the endpoint of the study after 12 weeks of intervention.The ANOVA of the 2 groups showed the test group having a greater advantage over the control group,with statistically significant differences in self-efficacy,ability to perform daily living tasks,and quality of life between groups,intergroup effect,and interaction effect(P＜0.05).Conclusion The rehabilitation care platform based on patient portraits has a positive effect on improving self-efficacy,self-care ability and quality of life for spinal cord injury patients.

Objective:To detect the availability of the preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) in carriers of complex chromosome rearrangements (CCRs) for assisting reproduction.Methods:A couple with CCRs was treated by controlled hyperstimulation, intracytoplasmic sperm injection, blastocyst biopsy and next generation sequencing (NGS) for PGT assisting reproduction.Results:The couple underwent 1 PGT cycle, 27 oocytes were obtained and 7 blastocysts were suitable for biopsy. NGS showed that there were 3 normal/balanced blastocysts and 4 abnormal blastocysts in the detection range. One normal/balanced blastocyst was used in frozen-thawed embryo transfer. Then the pregnancy was successful, and a male child was born at term. The fetal chromosome examination showed 46,XY with normal karyotype.Conclusion:CCRs carriers have a high abnormal gamete rate and a high risk of miscarriage. PGT can screen embryos and reduce the risk of spontaneous miscarriage, which is a strategy to assist the treatment of fertility problems in CCRs carriers.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of third-generation sequencing technology in preimplantation genetic testing (PGT) of an ATR-X syndrome pedigree with chromosomal microduplication.Methods:The study selected a pedigree with a suspected ATR-X syndrome child at Assisted Reproductive Center of Jiangxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital in October 2022. After chromosome copy number variation sequencing (CNV Seq) detection, it was found that the female carried a 550 kb heterozygous microrepeat with unclear clinical significance in the Xq21.1 region, which involved partial sequences of the ATRX gene. The third generation long read sequencing technology was used to detect the female genome sequence, determine the physical location of the insertion of the above repeat into the genome, clarify the pathogenicity of the repeat, and obtain a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) haplotype linked to the above micro repeat inheritance. After the couple's full informed consent, PGT was performed to assist pregnancy. One haploid embryo without pathogenic microduplication was selected for transfer. To verify the consistency with PGT test results, amniocentesis prenatal diagnosis was performed in the second trimester after successful pregnancy, and the fetus was followed up after birth. Results:The results of the third generation long read sequencing and Sanger sequencing verification showed that the Xq21.1 microrepeat carried by the female was inserted into the genome chrX: 76804463-76804464 (GRCh37/hg19), which is an intra tandem repeat of the ATRX gene, and it is predicted that it may cause damage to the normal function of the ATRX protein. After one cycle of PGT treatment, 27 oocytes were obtained and 13 blastocysts were successfully developed after intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). Through genetic testing, it was found that two blastocysts were haploid embryos without carrying the aforementioned pathogenic microduplication. After thawing and transferring one of the blastocysts, the pregnancy was achieved, and the prenatal diagnosis results of amniocentesis in the second trimester were consistent with the PGT results. In November 2023, at 39 +5 weeks of pregnancy, a female live baby was delivered by natural delivery, and she is in good health. Conclusion:The third-generation sequencing technology has significant advantages in PGT detection of clinically ambiguous microreplicates with functional deficiency due to its long read length characteristics. It can not only determine the location of microreplicates inserted into the genome and determine their pathogenicity, but also obtain SNP haplotypes that are linked to the target mutation, thus preparing for subsequent embryo detection.

Objective:To investigate the impact of hyperuricemia on the live birth rate per transfer cycle and the cumulative live birth rate per oocyte retrieval cycle in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) undergoing in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted on data from 3 959 PCOS patients who received IVF-ET treatment at the Reproductive Centers of Henan Provincial People's Hospital and Jiangxi Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital between January 2016 and December 2021. The patients were divided into hyperuricemia group (>357 μmol/L, n=1 126) and normal uric acid group (≤357 μmol/L, n=2 833) based on their uric acid levels. Baseline data, clinical and laboratory indicators were compared between the two groups. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed on factors influencing clinical outcomes. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to compare the live birth rate per transfer cycle and the cumulative live birth rate per oocyte retrieval cycle between the two groups, clarifying the impact of hyperuricemia on clinical outcomes in PCOS patients. Results:There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of age, duration of infertility, baseline testosterone level, type of infertility, and the rate of unusable embryos (all P>0.05). Body mass index [BMI, (25.15±3.75) kg/m 2], fasting blood glucose [(4.99±0.80) mmol/L] and fasting insulin levels [17.19 (11.78, 25.30) mU/L] in hyperuricemia group were higher than those in normal uric acid group [(23.60±3.64) kg/m 2, P<0.001; (4.88±0.81) mmol/L, P<0.001;12.40 (8.59, 17.86) mU/L, P<0.001], while their baseline luteinizing hormone [7.62 (4.68, 11.18) U/L] and anti-Müllerian hormone [7.62 (5.34, 10.73) μg/L] levels were lower than those in normal uric acid group [7.88 (4.98, 11.91) U/L, P=0.024; 7.95 (5.49, 11.73) μg/L, P<0.001], with statistically significant differences. Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that female BMI, endometrial thickness on human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) injection day, and the number of transferable embryos were factors influencing the live birth rate per transfer cycle ( OR=1.02, 95% CI: 1.00-1.04, P=0.044; OR=0.95, 95% CI: 0.92-0.97, P<0.001; OR=0.97, 95% CI: 0.95-0.99, P=0.006). Fasting blood glucose, endometrial thickness on hCG injection day, and the number of transferable embryos were factors influencing the cumulative live birth rate per oocyte retrieval cycle ( OR=1.14, 95% CI: 1.01-1.29, P=0.036; OR=0.92, 95% CI: 0.87-0.97, P=0.002; OR=0.70, 95% CI: 0.66-0.75, P<0.001). Compared with the normal uric acid group, the hyperuricemia group in PCOS patients had not a statistically signifcant decrease in the live birth rate per transfer cycle and the cumulative live birth rate per oocyte retrieval cycle ( OR=0.93, 95% CI: 0.72-1.19, P=0.548; OR=1.18, 95% CI: 0.87-1.60, P=0.300). Conclusion:Hyperuricemia does not affect the live birth rate per transfer cycle or the cumulative live birth rate per oocyte retrieval cycle in PCOS patients undergoing IVF-ET.
