ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Zishen Tiaogan prescription on the oxidative stress injury in the rat model of diminished ovarian reserve （DOR） and explore the role of the Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 （Keap1）/nuclear factor E₂-related factor 2 （Nrf2）/heme oxygenase-1 （HO-1） signaling pathway. MethodsForty-eight female SD rats were randomly assigned into a normal group （n=12） and a modeling group （n=36）. The rats in the modeling group received subcutaneous injection of galactose （350 mg·kg^-1） combined with immobilization stress daily. After 28 days of modeling， 6 rats in the normal group and 6 rats in the modeling group were sacrificed to examine the modeling results. The successfully modeled rats were assigned into model， estradiol valerate （0.09 mg·kg^-1）， and low-， medium-， and high-dose （6.39， 12.78， 25.56 g·kg^-1， respectively） Zishen Tiaogan prescription groups. The intervention lasted for 4 weeks with 6 animals per group. Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the estrous cycle and the pathological changes in the ovarian tissue. The ovarian index was calculated. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was employed to measure the serum levels of sex hormones and oxidative stress-related indexes. Western blot and real-time PCR were employed to determine the protein and mRNA levels， respectively， of Nrf2， Keap1 and HO-1 in the ovarian tissue. The positive expression of superoxide dismutase 2 （SOD2） in the ovarian tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry （IHC）. ResultsCompared with the normal group， the model group showed reduced follicles in the ovary， loose arrangement of the follicle granule layer， declined levels of anti-Mullerian hormone （AMH） and estradiol （E₂） in the serum， elevated levels of luteinizing hormone （LH） and follicle-stimulating hormone （FSH） （P<0.01）， lowered levels of superoxide dismutase （SOD）， catalase （CAT）， and glutathione （GSH） （P<0.01）， and increased accumulation of malondialdehyde （MDA） （P<0.01）. In addition， the modeling led to up-regulated protein and mRNA levels of Keap1 （P<0.01）， the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 protein was significantly decreased （P<0.01）， the mRNA expression of Nrf2 was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， the mRNA expression of HO-1 was significantly decreased （P<0.01）， in the ovarian tissue. Compared with model group， the estradiol valerate and low-， medium-， and high-dose Zishen Tiaogan prescription groups showed increases in the ovarian index （P<0.01） and serum E₂ and AMH levels （P<0.01）， declined levels of FSH and LH （P<0.01）， increased follicles in the ovary， elevated levels of SOD， CAT， and GSH， and reduced accumulation of MDA （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Furthermore， these groups showcased down-regulated protein and mRNA levels of Keap1 （P<0.01）， the expression of Nrf2 protein was significantly increased （P<0.01）， the expression level of HO-1 protein was increased （P<0.05，P<0.01）， and increased positive expression of SOD2 （P<0.01）. ConclusionZishen Tiaogan prescription can regulate the serum levels of hormones， down-regulate the expression of Keap1， up-regulate the expression of Nrf2， HO-1， and SOD2， enhance the antioxidant capacity， and reduce the peroxidation damage in the ovarian tissue to improve the ovarian reserve function in the rat model of DOR. High-dose Zishen Tiaogan prescription demonstrated the best effect and the mechanism is associated with the regulation of the Keap1/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway.

Objective To investigate the impact of sleep modes on the risk for diseases of the body systems.Methods Based on a subset of UK Biobank dataset comprising 87 617 participants,3 sleep dimensions including 6 sleep indicators were obtained through a wrist-worn accelerometer,that is sleep duration and onset,sleep rhythm(relative amplitude and stability),and sleep quality(sleep efficiency and number of awakenings).Latent profile analysis(LPA)was applied to identify and classify distinct sleep modes.Then their longitudinal medical records were the association between different sleep modes and the risk for 467 diseases.Results LPA identified 5 subgroups of unique sleep modes in the participants.Among the 5 subgroups,the subgroup 4 had relatively optimal levels in above sleep indicators.Compared to the subgroup 4,the other 4 subgroups exhibited variations in different sleep dimensions,with at least one indicator demonstrating an unfavorable trend.These subgroups also revealed differences in racial composition,shift work and social deprivation index.Moreover,there were notable differences in the risk of various system diseases among the subgroups(P<0.05).When compared to the subgroup 4,the other 4 subgroups exhibited an elevated risk for certain diseases(comprising a total of 126 diseases),with the diseases of the circulatory system,digestive system and musculoskeletal system most common.Among the 5 subgroups,the subgroup 2(shorter sleep duration and later sleep onset)and the subgroup 5(rhythm disorder)had the highest counts of associated risks,amounting to 85 and 91 types,respectively,but there was certain difference in their systematic composition.Conclusion There are different sleep modes within the participants,and the modes are potentially associated with an increased risk for diseases of body systems.Comprehensive interventions targeting overall sleep modes rather than single sleep indicator may yield obvious health benefits.

Objective To analyze the effect of topical recombinant human acidic fibroblast growth factor(rh-aFGF)on wound healing in burn and scald patients.Methods A total of 240 burn pa-tients were selected as the study subjects and divided into observation group and control group,with 120 cases in each group.The control group was treated with compound polymyxin B ointment,while the observation group received rh-aFGF combined with compound polymyxin B ointment.The wound healing time,wound healing rate,positive detection rate of wound pathogens and wound inflammatory response were compared between the two groups after treatment.Results After 28 days of medication,the wound healing time of patients in the observation group was significantly shorter,and the wound healing rate was significantly higher than that in the control group(P＜0.05).The detection rate of pathogens in the burn wounds of the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group at 7,14,21,and 28 days after treatment(P＜0.05).There was a statistically significant differ-ence in wound inflammatory response between the two groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion The rh-aFGF is effective in treatment of burn and scald wound,and it is conductive to promoting wound healing,shortening healing time,and reducing wound inflammatory responses.

Objective:Laboratory evaluation of the relationship between cerebrospinal fluid and plasma indicators and intrathecal immunoglobulin G(IgG) synthesis in patients with neurological diseases, and establishment of a new diagnostic method for intrathecal IgG synthesis.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed the content of IgG in cerebrospinal fluid samples and blood albumin in blood samples, and other test results of 410 patients with neurological diseases who visited Beijing Tiantan Hospital from 2019 to 2022. According to the results of oligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluid, patients were divided into intrathecal IgG synthesis group and non-intrathecal IgG synthesis group. The Mann Whitney U test was used for inter group comparison, and a bilateral test with P<0.05 indicates a statistically significant difference. Include indicators with differences between groups in logistic regression analysis, construct a predictive model, and compare it with the established quantitative formula IgG index. Results:There were significant differences in 10 indicators, including cerebrospinal fluid leukocyte count and 24-hour intrathecal IgG synthesis rate, between the intrathecal IgG synthesis group and the non-intrathecal IgG synthesis group, with P<0.05. The area under the curve (AUC) of intrathecal IgG synthesis was higher than the IgG index (AUC=0.920, 0.809, Z=31.178, P<0.001), the sensitivity was higher than the IgG index (0.825, 0.618), and the specificity was lower than the IgG index (0.876, 0.908). Conclusion:The combination of 10 indicators such as cerebrospinal fluid white blood cell count and 24-hour intrathecal IgG synthesis rate can improve the diagnostic efficacy and sensitivity of intrathecal IgG synthesis.

Objective To investigate the relationship between circular RNA homeodomain interacting protein ki-nase 3 (circHIPK3) and the activation of rat microglia (RM) cells.Methods In vitro, RM cells were cultured and randomized into normal and oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion (OGD/R) groups, and the expression lev-el of circHIPK3 in each group was detected by RT-qPCR.The circHIPK3 lentiviral vector with puromycin resist-ance was constructed, and the overexpression (OE) group and negative control (NC) group were set up.The opti-mal multiplicity of infection (MOI) for RM cells was determined based on fluorescence expression, and puromycin was used to screen RM cells stably expressing circHIPK3 .The cells of OE and NC groups were treated with OGD/R, and the expression levels of ionized calcium binding adaptor molecule 1 (Iba-1) and eukaryotic tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (CD40) were detected by Western blot.The circHIPK3 translational protein potential was analyzed by the circRNAdb database, while the potential binding microRNAs on circHIPK3 were predicted by circBank and Starbase databases.Results OGD/R down-regulated circHIPK3 in RM cells (P <0.0001).The sequencing results were accurate and the lentiviral vector of circHIPK3 was constructed successfully.The optimal MOI of RM cells was 80 , puromycin at a concentration of 2μg/ml was used to screen RM cell lines stably express-ing circHIPK3 .RT-qPCR results showed that the expression level of circHIPK3 was significantly higher in the OE group compared with the NC group (P<0.01) .Western blot results revealed that the expression levels of Iba-1 and CD40 in the OE group were markedly lower than those in the NC group (P<0.05) .Protein translation analy-sis showed that circHIPK3 encoded a polypeptide of 404 amino acids with two internal ribosome entry sites (IRES) and an open reading frame (ORF) .Database analysis uncovered that circHIPK3 could target eight specific miR-Nas, namely hsa-miR-3529-5p, hsa-miR-379-5p, hsa-miR-506-3p, hsa-miR-33, hsa-miR-450b-5p, hsa-miR-551b-3p, hsa-miR-193, and hsa-miR-508-3p.Conclusion The overexpression of circHIPK3 effectively suppres-ses OGD/R-induced activation of RM cells.It has the potential to encode peptides and may act as a miRNA sponge.These findings provide a foundation for further study of circHIPK3 functions.

Objective:To establish and verify a diagnostic model for distinguishing multiple sclerosis (MS) from other neurological diseases with similar symptoms by usingcerebrospinal fluid oligoclonal band (CSF-OCB)combined with IgG intrathecal synthesis indicators and biochemical markers.Methods:Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients admitted to the Neurology Department of Beijing Tiantan Hospital affiliated with Capital Medical University from January 2014 to December 2022 were selected as the case group, while patients with similar neurological symptoms were selected as the control group. Using the case-control study design, a retrospective analysis was conducted on the detection of age, gender, oligoclonal bands in cerebrospinal fluid, IgG intrathecal synthesis indicators and biochemical indicators for all study subjects. The differential diagnosis model was determined by the multiple logistic regression analysis, and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the diagnostic efficiency of the differential diagnosis model for neurological diseases with similar symptoms to MS and other conditions.Results:This study included 167 patients in the case group and 335 patients in the control group, of which 128 patients in the case group and 265 patients in the control group were used to construct the model, and 39 patients in the case group and 70 patients in the control group were used for model validation. The differential diagnostic model constructed by a multivariate logistic regression model was Y=0.871×CSF-OCB-0.051×CSFprotein-0.231×CSFchloride+1.183×gender-0.036×LDH+35.770. The model showed that the area under the curve, sensitivity and specificity were respectively 0.916, 87.3% and 87.6%. The Delong test results showed that the diagnostic efficacy of the model was significantly different from OCB, IgG intrathecal synthesis indicators, and OCB combined with IgG intrathecal synthesis indicators ( P<0.05). The new model validation showed that the actual diagnostic consistency rate for the MS group was 84.6%, while the actual diagnostic consistency rate for the control group was 90.0%. Conclusion:This study combines OCB, IgG intrathecal synthesis indicators, and biochemical indicators to establish a diagnostic prediction model for neurological diseases with similar clinical symptoms in MS. This model may have good differential diagnostic value and can better assist clinical diagnosis in the early stages of disease progression in MS patients.

Mild cognitive impairment(MCI)is often regarded as a prodromal stage of dementia,primarily characterized by mild decline in cognitive function.Due to the mild nature of its symptoms,many MCI cases miss the opportunity for intervention.Research indicates that linguistic changes in MCI may precede other cognitive symptoms,providing an opportunity for early identification and intervention.These linguistic changes include abnormalities in speech rate,pronunciation,and intonation.Speech repetition tasks,such as the five-word test,delayed digit matching,and sentence repetition tests,are effective methods for assessing the speech characteristics of MCI patients.These tasks involve asking patients to repeat specific content,and analyzing the accuracy of their repetitions to assess their speech function.The application of machine learning and deep learning techniques enables automatic extraction of MCI-related features from speech data,improving diagnostic accuracy.The combined application of these techniques contributes to the early detection of MCI,providing a basis for timely intervention.

Objective:We aimed to develop a novel visualized model based on nomogram to predict postoperative overall survival.Methods:This was a multicenter, retrospective, observational cohort study, including participants with histologically confirmed gastric and colorectal cancer who underwent radical surgery from 11 medical centers in China from August 1, 2015 to June 30, 2018. Baseline characteristics, histopathological data and nutritional status, as assessed using Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS 2002) score and the scored Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment, were collected. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator regression and Cox regression were used to identify variables to be included in the predictive model. Internal and external validations were performed.Results:There were 681 and 127 patients in the training and validation cohorts, respectively. A total of 188 deaths were observed over a median follow-up period of 59 (range: 58 to 60) months. Two independent predictors of NRS 2002 and Tumor-Node-Metastasis (TNM) stage were identified and incorporated into the prediction nomogram model together with the factor of age. The model's concordance index for 1-, 3- and 5-year overall survival was 0.696, 0.724, and 0.738 in the training cohort and 0.801, 0.812, and 0.793 in the validation cohort, respectively.Conclusions:In this study, a new nomogram prediction model based on NRS 2002 score was developed and validated for predicting the overall postoperative survival of patients with gastric colorectal cancer. This model has good differentiation, calibration and clinical practicability in predicting the long-term survival rate of patients with gastrointestinal cancer after radical surgery.
