Aim To explore the neuroprotective effects of salidroside on Parkinson's disease(PD)through modulation of inflammatory responses and the underly-ing mechanisms.Methods Mice were divided into five groups:healthy control group,1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine(MPTP)disease group,low-dose Rhodioloside intervention group,medium-dose salidroside intervention group,and high-dose salidro-side intervention group.MPTP-induced PD mouse model was established,and salidroside intervention was administered.Behavioral changes,inflammatory cyto-kine levels,autophagy-related protein expression,and neurons were observed through histological analysis and immunohistochemical staining.Results After MPTP treatment,mice exhibited significant behavioral chan-ges,increased pro-inflammatory cytokines,decreased anti-inflammatory cytokines,reduced autophagy-related proteins,and evident pyroptosis.Salidroside interven-tion alleviated these changes in a dose-dependent man-ner.Conclusions Salidroside exerts neuroprotective effects on PD by alleviating inflammatory responses and promoting autophagy,thereby protecting neurons.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of women with abnormal uterine bleeding(AUB)in sub-plateau regions and analyze the factors affecting their treatment methods.Methods AUB patients who were hospitalized from Jan 1,2018 to Dec 31,2022,in a sub-plateau region(Yongping County People's Hospital of Yunnan Province)with an average altitude of 1 620 meters were selected.The general clinical characteristics of the patients were summarized,and patients were classified into two categories(with or without uterine structural lesion)and nine subtypes(PALM-COEIN)according to the FIGO recommended etiological classification guidelines.Then the patients were divided into groups based on the presence or absence of uterine structural lesions,ethnic group(Han and minority),conservative drug treatment and surgical treatment groups,blood transfusion and non-blood transfusion groups.Binary Logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors affecting treatment methods.Results A total of 481 AUB patients enrolled,and the delayed consultation rate was as high as 80.46%,and the proportion of overweight and obese patients was 49.90%,which was higher than the average level among Chinese women.The main cause was AUB-O(AUB-ovulatory dysfunction),accounting for 78.59%of cases,the proportion of patients with delayed medical treatment was higher than those without delayed medical treatment(82.17%vs.74.47%).Patients who received blood transfusion were significantly younger,had lower hemoglobin(HGB)levels,fewer pregnancies,and lower BMI compared to those in the non-blood transfusion group(P<0.05).Univariate analysis showed that the surgical treatment group had older age,longer onset time,higher HGB levels,more pregnancies and deliveries,higher BMI,a higher proportion of Han ethnicity patients,lower rates of non-blood transfusion,higher rates of hypertension,and more uterine structural lesions compared to the conservative drug treatment group.Multivariate regression analysis revealed that blood transfusion treatment reduced the probability of surgical treatment.Age and uterine structural lesions were risk factors for requiring surgical treatment,for each additional year of age,the risk of undergoing surgical treatment increased by 10%.The risk of requiring surgical treatment for patients with uterine structural lesions was 2.987 times higher than for those without.Conclusion AUB patients in this sub-plateau regions have a high rate of delayed consultation and a high proportion of overweight and obesity,with AUB-O being the primary cause.Older age and the presence of uterine structural lesions were risk factors for requiring surgical treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate platelet count trajectories after induction therapy with venetoclax combined with azacitidine (VA regimen) in newly diagnosed AML patients and further analyze its clinical significance. METHODS: Clinical date of 50 newly diagnosed AML patients who received VA treatment from March 2020 to July 2023 in Department of Hematology of the First Hospital of Lanzhou University were retrospectively collected. The platelet trajectories after induction chemotherapy were constructed by using group-based trajectory modeling. To study the association between diverse trajectories of platelet counts and compound complete remission (cCR) rate, overall response rate (ORR), minimal residual disease (MRD) negative rate and overall survival (OS) rate. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate the relationship between platelet trajectory and OS. The logistic regression was used to analyze the influence of individual characteristics on platelet trajectory. RESULTS: Two platelet trajectories were identified based on the model, including platelet slowly increased group (n=31, 62.0%) and platelet rapidly increased group (n=19, 38.0%). There were statistically significant differences in cCR rate, ORR and OS rate between platelet slowly increased group and platelet rapidly increased group (all P < 0.05). The Cox regression analysis showed that platelet rapidly increased group was associated with a decreased risk of mortality compared with platelet slowly increased group (HR=0.153, 95%CI : 0.045-0.527, P =0.003). Logistic regression analysis showed that IDH1/2 mutation (OR =3.908, 95%CI : 1.023-14.923, P =0.046) and platelet transfusion (OR =0.771, 95%CI : 0.620-0.959, P =0.020) were independent influencing factors of platelet trajectory. CONCLUSION The dynamic trajectory of platelet counts in newly diagnosed AML patients who received VA treatment can serve as a significant indicator to observe the efficacy and prognosis. The platelet rapidly increased is an independent protective factor for good prognosis. TheIDH1 /2 mutation and platelet transfusion are independent influencing factors of platelet trajectory.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of acute leukemia in adults. Isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) is a key enzyme in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and one of the common mutated genes in AML. Although the 2022 version of the ELN guidelines suggests that IDH mutations cannot be used as a separate prognostic stratification indicator, multiple studies have indicated that IDH mutations have prognostic significance for AML. Early identification of IDH mutations and selection of appropriate treatment options are crucial. This review summarizes the research progress on the characteristics, carcinogenic mechanisms, prognosis of IDH mutations in AML patients, and treatment options, in order to provide reference for further improving the prognosis of IDH -mutated AML patients.

Objective:To explore the application value of three-dimensional high-resolution anorectal manometry(3D-HRAM)model in the diagnosis and localization of anal sphincter injury after surgery for complex anal fistula.Methods:A prospective study was con-ducted on 92 patients who had undergone surgery for complex anal fistula in the Department of Coloproctology of The People's Hospi-tal Affiliated to Fujian University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2023 to January 2024.The study was conducted in two stages.In the first stage,92 patients underwent 3D-HRAM and endoanal ultrasonography(EAUS)to examine the sphincter,and the data were compared with intraoperative records to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency and localization accuracy of 3D-HRAM and EAUS.In the second stage,92 patients who had been examined were grouped according to the presence or absence of symptoms of anal dysfunction to further verify the diagnostic and localization values of 3D-HRAM and EAUS for postoperative compensated/decompen-sated sphincter injury.Results:Among 92 patients,41 and 57 patients were diagnosed with sphincter injury through 3D-HRAM and EAUS,with a sensitivity of 61.19%and 85.07%,a specificity of 88%and 76%,an area under the curve of 0.739 and 0.813 calcu-lated by plotting the receiver operating characteristic curve,and a localization accuracy of 44.77%and 71.64%,respectively,showing significant differences between 3D-HRAM and EAUS(P=0.002),indicating that 3D-HRAM had lower diagnostic efficiency and local-ization accuracy than EAUS for anal sphincter injury after surgery for complex anal fistula.After grouping by symptoms,the diagnostic efficiency and localization accuracy of 3D-HRAM for symptomatic sphincter injury(decompensated)were significantly better than those for asymptomatic sphincter injury,and were similar to those of EAUS(P=0.763).Conclusion:The application advantage of 3D-HRAM lies in the diagnosis and localization of decompensated anal sphincter injury after surgery for complex anal fistula,which provides effective technical support for the study of anal defecation control mechanisms and injury compensation mechanisms.

Purpose: This systematic review aimed to scrutinize the progression of symptom cluster research in adult cancer patients who received primary or adjuvant chemotherapy between 2001 and 2023, providing a comprehensive understanding of clinical practice and future research. Methods: PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Excerpta Medica Database, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Library, and Web of Science databases were searched for theme words and free words related to symptom clusters, cancer, and chemotherapy. Eligible studies were published between January 1, 2001, and May 30, 2023; adults who were diagnosed with cancer and received primary or adjuvant chemotherapy were evaluated. Results: Twenty-eight studies were included in this review. The Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale emerged as the predominant instrument and exploratory factor analysis was the most frequently employed statistical method to identify symptom clusters. Psychological, gastrointestinal, and physical image symptom clusters were the most commonly delineated. Furthermore, the temporal stability of the symptom clusters showed varying dynamics, with psychological symptom clusters displaying relative consistency over time. Conclusion Interventions are needed for the most common and stable symptoms in patients with cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Future endeavors may necessitate more longitudinal studies to delve deeper into the temporal stability and dynamic variations of symptom clusters. Such investigations hold promise for advancing symptom cluster research, elucidating the underlying mechanisms, and fostering the development of targeted interventions, thereby enriching the symptom management paradigm in oncological care.
