Objective:To assess the effectiveness of a 6-month Ba Duan Jin exercise program in improving the balance of community-dwelling older adults.Methods:A two arms, parallel-group, cluster randomized controlled trial was conducted in 1 028 community residents aged 60-80 years in 40 communities in 5 provinces of China. Participants in the intervention group (20 communities, 523 people) received Ba Duan Jin exercise 5 days/week, 1 hour/day for 6 months, and three times of falls prevention health education, and the control group (20 communities, 505 people) received falls prevention health education same as the intervention group. The Berg balance scale (BBS) score was the leading outcome indicator, and the secondary outcome indicators included the length of time of standing on one foot (with eyes open and closed), standing in a tandem stance (with eyes open and closed), the closed circle test, and the timed up to test.Results:A total of 1 028 participants were included in the final analysis, including 731 women (71.11%) and 297 men (28.89%), and the age was (69.87±5.67) years. After the 3-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 3.05 (95% CI: 2.23-3.88) points ( P<0.001). After the 6-month intervention, compared with the baseline data, the BBS score of the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group by 4.70 (95% CI: 4.03-5.37) points ( P<0.001). Ba Duan Jin showed significant improvement ( P<0.05) in all secondary outcomes after 6 months of exercise in the intervention group compared with the control group. Conclusions:This study showed that Ba Duan Jin exercise can improve balance in community-dwelling older adults aged 60-80. The longer the exercise time, the better the improvement.

Objective:To explore the effect of pentraxin 3 (PTX3) on memory improvement and Aβ expression in Alzheimer's disease (AD) model mice.Methods:(1) Ten 5-month-old 5×FAD mice were randomly divided into PTX3 group and model group ( n=5); 5 C57BL/6 wild-type mice at the same age were selected as control group; mice in the PTX3 group and control group were stereotactically injected 4 μL 0.5 g/L PTX3 or same dose of phosphate buffered saline (PBS); Morris water maze test was used to detect the learning and memory abilities, Y maze test was used to detect the short-term memory, and ELISA was used to obsevre the contents of Aβ 40 and Aβ 42 in the brain hemisphere. (2) Twenty-five 3-month-old 5×FAD mice were randomly divided into model group, 2 μg/kg PTX3 group, 4 μg/kg PTX3 group, 8 μg/kg PTX3 group, and 16 μg/kg PTX3 group ( n=5); 5 C57BL/6 wild-type mice at the same age were selected as control group; mice in the PTX3 groups were intranasally injected 2, 4, 8, and 16 μg/kg PTX3, respectively; those in the model group and control group were intranasally injected same dose of PBS; injection was given once every 96 h for a total of 7 times. Morris water maze test was used to detect the learning and memory abilities, Y maze test was used to detect the short-term memory, and ELISA was used to obsevre the contents of Aβ 40 and Aβ 42 in the hippocampus. Results:(1) Compared with the model group, the PTX3 group had significantly shorter platform latency, higher percentage of exploration time and higher percentage of spontaneous alternations ( P<0.05). Compared with those in model group ([63.38±21.42] pg/mL, [29.77±6.11] pg/mL), the concentrations of Aβ 40 and Aβ 42 in the brain tissues of PTX3 group ([15.87±2.11] pg/mL, [16.55±1.95] pg/mL) were statistically lower ( P<0.05). (2) Compared with the model group, the 16 μg/kg PTX3 group had significantly shorter escape latency and higher percentage of exploration time ( P<0.05); compared with the model group, the 2 μg/kg PTX3 group and 16 μg/kg PTX3 group had significantly higher percentage of spontaneous alternations ( P<0.05). The contents of Aβ 40 and Aβ 42 in the hippocampus of 8 μg/kg PTX3 group and 16 μg/kg PTX3 group were statistically lower compared with those in the model group ( P<0.05). Conclusion:PTX3 may attenuate cognitive deficits and decrease Aβ expression in the brain or hippocampus tissues of 5×FAD mice with AD.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between five-state personality and Cattell's 16 personality factors. MethodsA total of 913 students recruited from Beijing University of Chinese Medicine from November 2020 to January 2021 were assessed by using the Five-state Personality Test Form and the 16 Personality Factors Questionnaire (16PF). The five-state personality scores were compared with national norms and gender differences were examined. Additionally, a structural equation model was established and the model fit was assessed using comparative fit index (CFI), Tucker-Lewis index (TLI), and root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA). The five-state personality (Taiyang, Shaoyang, Yin-yang balance, Shaoyin and Taiyin) was used as individual outcome variables while the 16PF factors was employed as predictor variables. Based on standardized parameter estimation results, we explored the relationships between the five-state personality and 16PF. ResultsA total of 913 students were recruited, and 756 valid samples were obtained after excluding unqualified questionnaires. Among these, the scores of Taiyang, Shaoyang and Taiyin in the 756 school students were significantly lower than the national norms, while the scores of Yin-yang balance was significantly higher (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The scores of Taiyang, Shaoyang, Yin-yang balance and Shaoyin were significantly higher than in males compared to females (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Regarding the relationship between the dimensions of five-state personality and 16PF, the model demonstrated a good fit with CFI and TLI values of 0.993 and 0.980, respectively, and an RMSEA value of 0.027. The 16PF factors, including dominance, social boldness, vigilance, rule-consciousness, tension, and emotional stability, positively predicted the Taiyang personality traits, while privateness and apprehension negatively predicted the Taiyang personality traits (P<0.05 or P<0.01). For Shaoyang personality traits, factors such as liveliness, social boldness, dominance, and tension positively predicted them, while rule-consciousness, apprehension, and privateness negatively predicted Shaoyang perso-nality traits (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In the case of Yin-yang balance personality traits, perfectionism, rule-consciousness, emotional stability, and self-reliance positively predicted them, while apprehension negatively predicted Yin-yang balance personality traits (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Regarding Shaoyin personality traits, perfectionism, emotional stability, self-reliance, rule-consciousness, and vigilance positively predicted them, while dominance, social boldness, and liveliness negatively predicted Shaoyin personality traits (P<0.01). Apprehension, tension, vigilance, and self-reliance positively predicted Taiyin personality traits, while social boldness, rule-consciousness, and intelligence negatively predicted Taiyin personality traits (P<0.05 or P<0.01). ConclusionThere is a significant correlation between five-state personality test and 16PF with 16PF factors capable of predicting five-state personality factors. The five-state personality demonstrates scientific validity and effectiveness.

We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of single-course initial regimens in patients with low-risk gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN). In this trial (NCT01823315), 276 patients were analyzed. Patients were allocated to three initiated regimens: single-course methotrexate (MTX), single-course MTX + dactinomycin (ACTD), and multi-course MTX (control arm). The primary endpoint was the complete remission (CR) rate by initial drug(s). The primary CR rate was 64.4% with multi-course MTX in the control arm. For the single-course MTX arm, the CR rate was 35.8% by one course; it increased to 59.3% after subsequent multi-course MTX, with non-inferiority to the control (difference -5.1%,95% confidence interval (CI) -19.4% to 9.2%, P = 0.014). After further treatment with multi-course ACTD, the CR rate (93.3%) was similar to that of the control (95.2%, P = 0.577). For the single-course MTX + ACTD arm, the CR rate was 46.7% by one course, which increased to 89.1% after subsequent multi-course, with non-inferiority (difference 24.7%, 95% CI 12.8%-36.6%, P < 0.001) to the control. It was similar to the CR rate by MTX and further ACTD in the control arm (89.1% vs. 95.2%, P =0.135). Four patients experienced recurrence, with no death, during the 2-year follow-up. We demonstrated that chemotherapy initiation with single-course MTX may be an alternative regimen for patients with low-risk GTN.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of Cangfu daotan pill (CDP)containing serum on autophagy of ovarian granulosa cells(GCs)of rat. METHODS :Three-month-old SD rat were divided into normal saline group (normal saline ,ig),FSH injection group(10.71 IU/kg,ih),CDP irrigation high-dose ,medium-dose and low-dse groups [ 0.5,1,2 mg/g(by crude drug ),ig],with 6 rats in each group. They were given relevant medicine subcutaneously/intragastrically ,once a day ,for consecutive 3 days. After last medication ,blood sample was collected from the abdominal aorta to obtain drug-containing serum. GCs of rat were divided into blank control group ,model group ,FSH group (positive control )and CDP high-dose ,medium-dose and low-dose groups. The autophagy model was induced by giving testosterone propionate ,except that the blank control group was directly added with 100 μL serum of normal saline group. Then model group was given 100 μL serum of normal saline group,and administration groups were given 100 μL drug-containing serum of corresponding drug group. The contents of estradiol(E2)and progesterone (P)in supernatant of cells were determined by ELISA. Western blot assay was used to detect protein expression of PI 3K,Akt and mTOR in cells. The mRNA expression of PI 3K,Akt,mTOR,Beclin 1,LC3Ⅰ,LC3Ⅱ and p 62 were detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS : Compared with blank control group ,the content of E 2 in supernatant ,relative mRNA and protein expression of PI 3K,Akt and mTOR were decreased significantly in model group (P<0.01),while relative mRNA expression of Beclin 1,LC3Ⅰ and LC 3Ⅱ were increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group ,the content of E 2 in supernatant were significantly increased in FSH group ,CDP medium-dose and high-dose groups ,while relative mRNA expression of Beclin 1,LC3Ⅰ,LC3Ⅱ and p 62 were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01);relative mRNA and protein expression of PI 3K,Akt and mTOR were increased significantly in administration groups (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS :CDP can inhibit autophagy of GCs by activating related protein and mRNA expression of PI 3K/Akt/ mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the clinical phenotype of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome with imperforate anus. Methods The clinical diagnosis and treatment of one case of 22q11.2 deletion syndrome complicated with anal atresia were retrospectively analyzed. Gene and phenotype of this disease were analyzed, and the related literature was reviewed. Results An elder male test tube infant of twins, born to a G2P2 mother were found to have special facial features, cleft palate, congenital heart disease, and imperforate anus after birth. A genome-wide microarray scan revealed 22q11.2 deletion syndrome. In related literatures, 22q11.2 deletion syndrome could be affected by TBX1 gene, histone modification, Ranbp1 gene, and even microRNA; while imperforate anus were influenced by multiple elements such as genetic, maternal, and environmental factors and multiple embryonic developments related genes could be involved in its pathogenesis. Conclusions Congenital imperforate anus and 22q11.2 deletion syndrome are mostly sporadic cases in epidemiology and are incidental accidents in development. Whether there is a common interaction factor between them needs to be further studied and defined.
