Objective:
To understand the real experience and feelings of self injurious cutting in adolescents with depression, to provide guidance for clinical targeted interventions.
Methods:
During November 2021 to May 2022, 19 adolescent patients with depression who had cut themselves as the type of non suicidal self injury were recruited from a tertiary first class psychiatric hospital in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. All the participants were interviewed in a semi structured manner, which used the interpretative phenomenological analysis to analyze the transcription data.
Results:
The experience and feelings of non suicidal self injury in adolescent with depression could be summarized into five themes: self injury thoughts that arise under external interference; self injurious behavior in a thousand thoughts; painful but a happy experience of self injury; cutting as the most frequently selected form of non suicidal self injury; decreases in self injurious behavior reduced when they feel love and responsibility.
Conclusion
Non suicidal self injury of adolescent patients with depression are affected by various factors. Clinicians should provide targeted clinical care according to the characteristics of patients, as well as the no suicide contract, alternative skills of non suicidal self injury behaviors, and a multi dimensional social support platform with the families of patients.

Objective:To analyze the correlation between 1H-MRS in hippocampus and peripheral blood cytokines and T lymphocyte subsets in patients with temporal lobe epilepsy, and to explore the relationship between immune dysfunction and the degree of neuronal injury. Methods:Fifty patients with temporal lobe epilepsy were selected from Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from October 2020 to July 2021.Clinical data of all patients were collected and they were divided into two groups according to MRI results of epileptic sequence: abnormal hippocampal MRI group ( n=20) and normal hippocampal MRI group ( n=30). Bilateral 1H-MRS scanning of hippocampal and detection of T lymphocyte subsets and cytokines in peripheral blood during interictal period were performed in both groups. The levels of hippocampal metabolites NAA, NAA/(Cr+ Cho), T lymphocyte subsets and cytokines in peripheral blood of the two groups were compared.At the same time, the levels of NAA and NAA/ (Cr+ Cho) in the hippocampus on the abnormal side and the normal side in the abnormal hippocampal MRI group were compared within the group. Finally, the correlation between the levels of metabolites NAA, NAA/ (Cr+ Cho) in the hippocampus on the abnormal side obtained by 1H-MRS scanning and T lymphocyte subsets and cytokines in the abnormal group of MRI was analyzed. The data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 26.0 software. Independent sample t-test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between the two groups. Paired sample t-test was used for intra group comparison of different sides. Spearman correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between each index. Results:The NAA and NAA/(Cr+ Cho) values of the abnormal MRI group(normal side NAA: (1.22±0.37), NAA/(Cr+ Cho): (0.56±0.15). abnormal side NAA: (1.02±0.34), NAA/(Cr+ Cho): (0.48±0.13)) were significantly lower than those of the normal MRI group (NAA: (1.51±0.36), NAA/(Cr+ Cho): (0.73±0.19))(NAA: t=2.705, 4.800, both P<0 05; NAA/(Cr+ Cho): t=3.394, 4.914, both P<0 05). The values of NAA and NAA/(Cr+ Cho) in the abnormal side in the MRI abnormal group were significantly lower than those in the normal side( t=6.467, P<0 05). The levels of IL-1β(11.19(3.56, 20.98)pg/ml), IL-5 (3.12(1.86, 6.41)pg/ml), TNF-α(2.55(1.19, 8.28)pg/ml), CD4+ T lymphocytes((43.13±6.82)%) and Th/Ts((1.96±0.66)) in the hippocampal MRI abnormal group were significantly higher than those in normal MRI group (IL-1β: 3.27(1.63, 6.17)pg/ml, IL-5: 1.15(0.96, 2.96)pg/ml, TNF-α: 1.34(1.02, 2.36)pg/ml, CD4+ T: (38.01±7.21)%, Th/Ts: (1.48±0.53))( Z=-3.041, -2.516, -2.496, all P<0.05; t=2.511, 2.810, both P<0 05). The level of CD8+ T ((23.48±5.33)%) in peripheral blood of abnormal MRI group was significantly lower than that of normal group CD8+ T((27.18±6.08)%)( t=2.210, P<0.05). In the abnormal MRI group, the levels of NAA and NAA/ (Cr+ Cho) in the abnormal hippocampus were negatively correlated with the levels of IL-1β, IL-5 and TNF- α ( r=-0.612--0.463, all P<0.05), and positively correlated with CD8+ T lymphocytes ( r=0.537, 0.478, P<0.05). Conclusion:There is neuronal damage and dysfunction in the abnormal hippocampal region of patients with temporal lobe epilepsy with abnormal hippocampal formation, and the degree of neuronal damage is highly correlated with CD8+ T lymphocytes, IL-5, IL-1β and TNF-α in peripheral blood. The imbalance of interictal lymphocyte subsets and chronic inflammatory response may play an important role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy and neuronal injury .

Oral medicine and deep brain stimulation are two main treatments for Parkinson′s disease (PD). But their long-term efficacies are decreasing, which limit the choice of patients in advanced stage. As a special way of sensory intervention, rhythmic cueing can improve gait parameters, reduce freezing of gait severity and improve gait-related mobility by activating the motor pathway directly, repairing internal clock, promoting internal dopamine release and improving cognitive function to maintain gait stability. Rhythmic auditory and visual cueing has a potential in PD treatment.

Objective To evaluate the effect of Weisu granule combined with conventional therapy in treatment of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG). Methods A total of 99 CAG patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into control group (49 cases) and observation group (50 cases) according to random number table method. The control group was treated with quadruple therapy, while the observation group was treated with Weisu granule on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 90 days. Interleukin-6 (IL-6), high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were detected by ELISA. The scores of TCM symptoms between the two groups before and after treatment were compared. Adverse reactions during treatment were observed and recorded. The eradication rate of H.pylori was measured by 14C urea breath test, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results The total effective rate was 92.0% (46/50) in the observation group and 73.5% (36/49) in the control group. There were significant differences between the two groups (χ2=5.975, P=0.015). After treatment, the level of serum IL-6, hs-CRP and TNF-α in the observation group was significantly lower than those in the control group (t=7.112, 7.753, 9.310, respectively, all P<0.01). After treatment, the scores of symptoms such as abdominal distension and pain, emotional disturbance, hypochondrium pain and belching in both groups decreased (P<0.01), and those in the observation group was significantly lower than those in the control group (t=12.892, 12.451, 10.596, respectively, P<0.01). The eradication rate of H.pylori was 90.0% (45/50) in the observation group and 24.5% (12/49) in the control group. There was a significant difference between the two groups (χ2=43.381, P<0.01). Conclusions The Weisu granule combined with quadruple therapy has a definite theraputic effect. It can improve the clinical symptoms of patients, improve the clearance rate of H.pylori, and alleviate inflammation.

Objective To investigate the prevalence and endoscopic detection rate of proximal serrated polyps and to screen the risk factors. Methods The data of 9010 colonoscopies performed by 22 endoscopists between September 2016 and September 2017 were reviewed. The adenoma detection rate (ADR) and proximal serrated polyp detection rate (PSDR) were calculated, and the correlation between ADR and PSDR was estimated by Pearson correlation coefficients. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze PSDR among endoscopists. Results For all subjects, the mean ADR was 30. 07% ( ranged from 20. 00% to 40. 78%) and mean PSDR was 4. 70% ( ranged from 1. 52% to 9. 28%) . PSDR of males was 1. 38 times of that of females ( OR=1. 38, 95%CI:1. 13-1. 69, P<0. 01) . For 3560 cases ( 39. 51%) of 50 years and older subjects, the mean ADR was 45. 01% ( 28. 99%-57. 78%) and mean PSDR was 6. 08%(2. 07%-10. 56%). PSDR was moderately correlated with ADR (r=0. 48, P=0. 02). PSDR of males was 1. 36 times of that of females (OR=1. 36, 95%CI: 1. 04-1. 80, P=0. 03). Endoscopist was a significant risk factor for detection of proximal serrated polyps ( P<0. 01) . Compared with endoscopist with the highest PSDR, odds ratio of other endoscopists ranged from 0. 16 (95%CI:0. 06-0. 40, P<0. 01) to 0. 83 (95%CI:0. 53-1. 32, P=0. 44) . Conclusion Proximal serrated polyps are more common in males, who are over 50 years old. The PSDR is highly variable and dependent on endoscopists. It is possible that a certain proportion of proximal serrated polyps are missed during colonoscopy.
