Objective To elucidate how the overexpression of cystathionine-β-synthase(CBS)plays an antihypertensive role by affecting peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ coactivator-1α(PGC-1α)expression.Methods The adeno-associated viruses(AAVs),ones that overexpressed CBS,and another knocked down PGC-1α,were injected into the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus(PVN)of spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHRs).The rats'blood pressure was monitored,and the level of norepinephrine(NE)was examined by ELISA;PVN inflammatory response,oxidative stress and tyrosine hydroxylase(TH)expression were detected with RT-qPCR and immunofluorescence.Results PVN overexpression of CBS could increase the transcription level of CBS(by 3.8 times,P<0.05)and PGC-1α(by 1.6 times,P<0.05)in PVN of SHR.PVN overexpression of CBS could reduce blood pressure in SHR(from 177.81 mmHg to 128.77 mmHg,P<0.001),but PVN knockdown of PGC-1αweakened such effect(from 128.77 mmHg to 152.79 mmHg,P<0.05).PVN overexpression of CBS could alleviate PVN inflammatory response and oxidative stress,but this effect was weakened or even eliminated when knocking down PGC-1α was performed at the same time.Conclusion PVN overexpression of CBS can reduce blood pressure in SHR,and this effect may be achieved by increasing the transcriptional level of PGC-1α,alleviating PVN inflammatory response,oxidative stress,and improving sympathetic nerve excitation.

Objective:To explore the utility of a robotic trunk support brace (a RoboBDsys) in evaluating seated trunk control after a spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods:Twenty wheelchair-dependent SCI patients were tested for trunk resistance while seated and wearing the RoboBDsys. In the test they were required to maintain an upright seated position for 1 minute while external forces were applied from the left, right, anterior and posterior directions. The system generated eight observations of swings of the center of pressure (COP), their mean velocity and their standard deviations. Sway area, sway path (SP), mean sway frequency (MF) and mean sway amplitude (MA) were also recorded along with the maximum voluntary contraction torque (MVC). The trunk control test (TCT), the Tinetti Balance Scale (Tinetti), the modified Functional Reach Test (mFRT) and Spinal Cord Independence Measure III (SCIM-III) were also administerd and their results were correlated with the RoboBDsys resistance test results.Results:All twenty of the patients completed the resistance test in the left and right directions, but only 11 did it in the anterior and posterior directions. In the left and right-direction resistance tests the average center of pressure deviation, sway area and MVC showed some significant correlation with the TCT, Tinetti, mFRT and SCIM-III results (| r| ranging from 0.46 to 0.74). The average MVC in the anterior-direction correlated moderately with the TCT, mFRT and SCIM-III results (| r|=0.63 to 0.67), while that in the posterior-direction had moderate correlation with the TCT and mFRT results only (| r|=0.63 to 0.67). Conclusion:The Robotic Brace for Dynamic Trunk Support system can be effective in assessing reactive postural control and functional independence after a spinal cord injury.

Objective:To investigate the test-retest reliability and criterion validity of the Robotic Brace for Dynamic Trunk Support System(RoboBDsys)in evaluating seated trunk control function in patients with spinal cord in-jury(SCI). Method:From October to December,2022,20 patients with spinal cord injury who were unable to walk were recruited.All participants completed RoboBDsys trunk control test including static control test and dynam-ic control test on the seated platform.The evaluation indexes were the supporting torque regression slope exert-ed by the robot platform on the direction of x,y,α,and θ,recorded as Kx,Ky,Kθ,Kα;the average sup-porting torque recorded as Fx,Fy,Mθ,Mα in the static control test;and the the Range of Motion(ROM)of trunk in four directions in the dynamic control test.All the participants completed Trunk Control Test(TCT)as criterion assessment.The test interval was one week,intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC)values were calculated between two RoboBDsys trunk control test. Result:There were 13 participants completed two tests.In the static control test,the ICCs of four indexes were 0.418-0.742 between 2 tests;the ICCs of all indexes in dynamic control test were 0.633-0.848,which all showed moderate to high test-retest reliability.In regards of criterion validity,there was low to mod-erate correlation between Ky,Mθ,Mα in static control test and TCT(|r|=0.467-0.561,P<0.05);all indexes except right lateral flection ROM in dynamic control test showed moderate to high correlation with TCT(r=0.559-0.758,P<0.05). Conclusion:RoboBDsys is a reliable and valid tool for evaluating seated trunk control function in patients with SCI.

OBJECTIVE To provide reference for the regulation of electronic prescription circulation under the mode of “medical science + pharmacy”. METHODS Based on evolutionary game theory, a tripartite evolutionary game model was constructed for related parties of electronic prescription circulation (government agencies, internet hospitals and third-party drug platforms) under the mode of “medical science + pharmacy”. The influential factors of the three parties’ strategy selection were analyzed and verified by simulation. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS The strategic choices of all parties in the game were affected by the other two parties. Reducing the cost of strict supervision or increasing the punishment for the other two parties would increase the probability of strict supervision of government agencies. Enhancing reputation losses, increasing penalties, and reducing the cost difference when choosing different strategies would have regulatory and binding effects on internet hospitals and third-party drug platforms. It is suggested that government agencies can introduce diversified supervision mode and establish an integrated “intelligent supervision + traceability” system; pay attention to the construction of reputation mechanism, and promote the coordinated linkage of all parties; increase the punishment for violations, provide policy support, reduce the cost of compliance behavior to promote the high-quality development of electronic prescription circulation under the mode of “medical science + pharmacy”.

Objective:To investigate the causes,prevention and treatment of femoral artery puncture related complications caused by the application of resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) in the resection of pelvic and sacral tumors.Methods:Clinical data of 23 patients with femoral artery puncture related complications who received REBOA in the resection of pelvic and sacral tumors from August 2010 to August 2018 at the Musculoskeletal Tumor Center,Peking University People′s Hospital were retrospectively analyzed.There were 8 males and 15 females,with the age of (37.0±16.2) years (range:15 to 65 years).Arterial access via the Seldinger technique for REBOA was obtained in the right common femoral artery of 18 cases,and in the left of 6 cases.An arterial sheath with a diameter of 11 to 12 F(1 F≈0.33 mm) was used for the patient.The occurrence and treatment of postoperative complications were analyzed.Results:Acute femoral arterial thrombosis occurred in 18 patients,which was managed by open repair 48 hours postoperatively.Among the 349 patients admitted before 2015 who received hemostasis by compression after femoral artery sheath removal,12 patients (3.4%) developed acute femoral artery thrombosis.While the 476 patients admitted after 2015 who used a percutaneous suture device to close the femoral artery wound,6 patients (1.3%) developed acute femoral artery thrombosis.One case of retroperitoneal hematoma and 1 case of femoral pseudoaneurysm were found and surgically fixed.Postoperative follow-up was (40±18) months (range:13 to 108 months).Three cases with chronic lower extremity ischemia were confirmed by Doppler ultrasonography during 1 to 5 years follow-up.Two of them had minimal symptoms and denied further treatment,while the other one received femoral-femoral artery bypass surgery to restore distal flow for pain and numbness relief.Conclusions:Acute femoral arterial thrombosis is the most common femoral artery puncture.Technique refinement of REBOA,the use of percutaneous suture device and close follow-up can reduce the approach-specific complications,and help to detect and treat the complications timely,which may popularize the clinical application of REBOA.
