Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is a rare neuro-immune disorder characterized by exaggerated startle responses and muscle spasms in response to minor stimuli. SPS is often misdiagnosed as panic disorder or agoraphobia. This paper reported a case of a patient with SPS presenting symptoms similar to panic attack. The patient had been misdiagnosed as dystonia, anxiety disorder and panic attack. The patient was finally correctly diagnosed through multiple disciplinary team discussions. This study integrates a comprehensive understanding of symptomatology and patient-reported experiences with targeted neurological evaluations and supplementary diagnostic tools to improve the accuracy of etiological diagnoses. This study aims to enhance the ability of psychiatrists to recognize somatic diseases presenting with psychiatric symptoms and to improve clinical diagnostic and treatment levels.

Objective To study the efficacy of speech training combined with Montessori education on speech problems in children after velopharyngeal insufficiency surgery.Methods A retrospective analysis of 63 cases of children who underwent velopharyngeal repair at Children's Hospital of Soochow University between January 2019 and December 2021 was conducted.Subjects were divided into three groups.A total of 21 patients who received family rehabilitation training after the operation were divided into control group A,42 patients who received regular hospital rehabilitation training after the operation were divided into group B and group C,of which 21 patients in group B received routine speech training,and 21 patients in group C received Montessori education and routine speech training.Nasal resonance status,assessment of dysarthric intelligibility,and cranially positioned lateral radi-ographs when pronouncing/i/sounds were evaluated individually before treatment and 6 months after treatment.The improvement of velopharyngeal function,nasal resonance status,and dysarthric articulation were evaluated.Results After the six-month intervention,the dysarthric speech intelligibility were significantly improved in three groups with improvement of 35.45％in group A,43.66％in group B,and 49.33％in group C,respectively(P＜0.05).The improvement rate of nasality reached 100％in the B and C group with nasality elimination rate of 70％in group B and 95.24％nasality elimination in group C,and the efficacy of the two groups was statistically signifi-cant(P＜0.05).During phonation of the/i/tone,velopharyngeal insufficiency was observed in seven patients in group B and in only one patient in group C,and the efficacy was statistically significant in both groups(P＜0.05).Conclusion Postoperative targeted speech training is necessary in patients with velopharyngeal insufficiency,and speech training combined with Montessori education can significantly improve the function of velopharyngeal clo-sure,thus achieving a good state of nasal resonance and correct articulation as early as possible.

Objective To investigate the effects of mindfulness-based parenting course on parenting burnout and parent-child relationship of adolescents' mothers.Methods A total of 203 mothers who volun-teered to participate in the mindfulness-based parenting course in a middle school in Chongqing City in May 2023 were recruited as the research subjects and divided into the intervention group (n=99) and control group (n=104).The intervention group attended the eight mindfulness parenting sessions twice a week,while the control group did not attended the course.The Parenting Burnout Assessment Scale,Parent-Child Relationship Self Evaluation Scale,Five Factors of Mindfulness scale and Satisfaction with Life Scale were used to evaluate the two groups before and after intervention.Results The scores of parent-child relationship and satisfaction with life had statistical difference between the two groups (P<0.05).Compared with before intervention,the parental burnout score of the intervention group was decreased,the scores of parent-child relationship,five fac-tors of mindfulness,scores of awareness,no judgment,no reaction dimensions and life satisfaction were in-creased,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Compared with the control group,the scores of parent-child relationship,five factors of mindfulness,awareness dimension and life satisfaction after inter-vention in the intervention group were higher,while the score of conscious action dimension was lower,the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion The 4-week mindfulness-based parenting course could could decrease the parenting burnout,and improve the parent-child relationship and satisfaction with life.

To investigate the effects of Pithecellobium clypearia extract on the tissue structure,in-flammatory lesions as well as microbial diversity in the intestinal of yellow-feathered broilers.2401-day-old yellow-feathered broilers were randomly divided into four groups(groups A,B,C and D),groups A,B and C were supplemented with Pithecellobium clypearia extract in basal diets with concentrations of 0.5,1.0 and 2.0 g/kg,respectively.Group D served as the control group without adding Pithecellobium clypearia extract in diets,and the full trial period lasted for 70 d.Duodenum and jejunum samples were collected on the 20th,40th and 70th days of the test,the vil-lous/crypt ratio of duodenum and jejunum were calculated,and the mRNA expression level of in-flammatory cytokine as well as related pathways were detected in each group,respectively.In addition,the contents of cecum were collected at 70 th day of the experiment and the microbial di-versity in cecum were also analysed by 16S rDNA sequencing.The results showed that adding 0.5 and 1.0 g/kg of Pithecellobium clypearia extract in the diet could significantly increase the veloci-ty height/crypt depth ratio of duodenum and jejunum(P＜0.05)compared to control group,as well as the mRNA expression level of tight junction protein(CLDN1 and CLDN5)in jejunum,which further improved the structure of mucous of intestinal.Pithecellobium clypearia extract could significantly(P＜0.05)decrease the mRNA expression level of inflammatory cytokine inclu-ding IL-1β,IL-8 and TNF-α,as well as the related pathway genes such as TLR4,MyD88 and NF-κB in jejunum,thus reduced the inflammatory lesions in intestinal.Pithecellobium clypearia ex-tract also could significantly increase the abundance of beneficial microbial such as Parabacteroide and Prevotellaceae,while significantly decrease the abundance of pathogenic microbial such as Proteobacteria in cecum(P＜0.05)and improve the microbial diversity in intestinal.In summary,Pithecellobium clypearia extract could improve the structure of intestinal tissue and the gut barri-er function,as well as the microbial diversity in cecum,and also decrease the inflammatory lesions in jejunum,which is helpful to the intestinal health for yellow-feathered broilers.The present study provides scientific basis for the development of Pithecellobium clypearia as a safe feed additive in the future.

Objective:To explore the effect of mixed reality (MR) application in the reconstruction of mandibular defects.Methods:Eighteen patients with mandibular defects were enrolled in this study, including 10 male patients and 8 female patients, whose age ranged from 27 to 45 years, and the mean age was 35.4 years. All the patients were from the Stomatological Hospital of the Fourth Military Medical University, during October 2019 to May 2021. Fibular flaps were used for the reconstruction of the mandibular defects. The patients were randomly divided into three groups, six in each group. In group one, MR-guided mandibular defect repair and reconstruction technique was used. In group two, 3D printed guide-assisted mandibular defect repair and reconstruction technique was used, and in the control group, traditional jaw defect repair and reconstruction technique was used. All the procedures were performed by the same team. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used for analysis of surgical accuracy, and questionnaires were used to evaluate the outcome of medical communication, occlusal relationship, appearance restoration, and medical experience satisfaction.Results:The mean surgical errors in the group one and group two were (1.75±0.44) mm and (1.81±0.16) mm respectively, which were both significantly lower than that in the control group (3.05±0.83) mm ( tMR=3.38, t3D=3.56, P<0.01). The medical communication (4.60±0.35, 4.52±0.28, tMR=2.90, t3D=2.77, P<0.05), occlusal relationship (4.17±0.32, 4.28±0.39, tMR=3.07, t3D=3.29, P<0.05), and medical experience satisfaction scores (4.26±0.45, 4.25±0.67, tMR=2.50, t3D=2.26, P<0.05) in the experimental groups were significantly higher than those in the control group (4.02±0.34, 3.58±0.33, 3.56±0.32, respectively). There was no significant difference in the satisfaction of appearance recovery among all the groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:MR-guided mandibular repair and reconstruction surgery has high accuracy and is also beneficial to the recovery of occlusal relationship and medical communication.

Objective: To propose reasonable suggestions to promote the standardization of clinical studies by reviewing the systematic reviews and meta-analyses of acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of essential hypertension (EH). Methods: Computer retrieval was conducted through Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), PubMed, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Chongqing VIP Database (CQVIP), China Biology Medicine Disc (CBM), and Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database (Wanfang) to collect systematic reviews and meta-analyses relevant to treating EH with acupuncture-moxibustion therapy. The time range was from the database's inception till July, 2020. The studies were screened based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and then data-extracted. The study's quality and evidence ratings were performed by referring to the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA), a measurement tool to assess systematic reviews 2 (AMSTAR 2), and the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE). Results: A total of 14 studies, 10 in Chinese and 4 in English, published between 2012 and 2019, were included, involving 70 outcome measures. The methodological quality was rated as critically low, the reporting was relatively complete or had certain flaws, and the evidence strength was rated as low or very low. Conclusion: Regarding the acupuncture-moxibustion treatment of EH, the methodological quality and outcome measure evidence of existing systematic reviews and meta-analyses are relatively low, and the reporting quality also expects further improvements.

Objective:To investigate the association between metabolic syndrome and the risk of early renal function injury in chronic kidney disease(CKD) in the elderly.Methods:A retrospective cohort was established based on health check-up data of 4 495 elderly residents in Mengzi City, Yunnan Province from January 2016 to December 2018. The medial history, living habits, and related physical examination information were collected. Cox hazard regression model was used to explore the association between metabolic syndrome, along with its components, and the early renal function injury in CKD. Results:The median age of the elderly was 71.00(67.00, 75.00) years, with metabolic syndrome detection rate of 21.98%. Early renal function injury of CKD developed in 1 300(28.92%) subjects during the follow-up. Univariate Cox regression showed that the number of metabolic syndrome components was associated with the risk of early kidney development in CKD. The HRs were 1.23 (95% CI 1.03-1.47, P=0.022) with 1 component, 1.54 (95% CI 1.28-1.84, P<0.001) with 2, and 1.38 (95% CI 1.14-1.67, P<0.001) with 3 or more. Multivariate Cox regression showed that elevated fasting triglycerides( HR=1.20, 95% CI 1.07-1.36, P=0.003) and lower high density lipoprotein-cholesterol(HDL-C; HR=1.25, 95% CI 1.09-1.43, P=0.002) were risk factors for early kidney injury in CKD, while doing some physical activity( HR=0.57, 95% CI 0.33-0.98, P=0.042), or on daily basis( HR=0.57, 95% CI 0.49-0.66, P<0.001) was a protective factor for early kidney injury in CKD. Conclusion:The abnormality of one or more metabolic components can significantly increase the risk of early kidney injury in the elderly with CKD. Elevated triglyceride and decreased HDL-C may be the risk factors.

Objective : To investigate the predictive value of platelet volume distribution width ( PDW) , mean platelet volume (MPV) , and D ⁃dimer (D⁃D) on early shunt dysfunction in patients with decompensated cirrhosis treated with transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt(TIPS) . Methods : A total of 28 patients with decompensated cirrhosis who developed shunt dysfunction within 6 months after TIPS were selected as the case group , and a 1 ∶ 2 matched control study was conducted. 56 patients matched by age ( ± 2) and gender who did not develop shunt dysfunction within 6 months after TIPS were selected as the control group. Spss23. 00 software was used to conduct univariate analysis to obtain statistically significant variables , and then conditional Logistic regression analysis was conducted with paired design , with P < 0. 05 being statistically significant. Results : Patients with a history of splenectomy , portal vein thrombosis , and those with poor liver function grade were more likely to have functional dysfunction after TIPS. Platelet count (PLT) , platelet volume distribution width (PDW) , mean platelet volume (MPV) , D ⁃dimer ( D⁃D) and Fibrinogen monomer ( FDPI) had statistically significant differences between the case group and the control group. The values of D ⁃D、PDW、MPV and FDPI in the case group were higher than those in the control group , while the value of PLT in the case group was lower than that in the control group. The OR values of PDW , MPV and D ⁃D were 2. 164 , 3. 826 and 1. 382 , respectively. ROC analysis results showed that the areas under PDW , MPV and D ⁃D curves were 0. 746 , 0. 773 and 0. 690 , respectively. Conclusion Compared with ultrasound , D ⁃D , PLT and PDW could predict shunt dysfunction earlier after TIPS. Patients with normal shunt function indicated by color Doppler ultrasonography in postoperative follow⁃up of TIPS should be closely observed for indicators such as D ⁃D , PLT and PDW , which is of important significance for clinical indication of shunt dysfunction in TIPS.

Objective:To explore the method of sequential sector scan with 2D ultrasound through oral fissure (SSTOF) and its utilization in the cleft palate screening.Methods:Based on features of oral anatomy and ultrasonic beam, SSTOF was designed to screen cleft palate and the accuracy had been verified using specimens of aborted fetuses. This study recruited 7 154 women with singleton pregnancy who were screened for fetal malformations during 20-28 gestational weeks in the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from May 2020 to October 2020. In medical addition to routine screening, these subjects also underwent SSTOF to further verify its feasibility and imaging performance. Follow-up was performed by telephone and medical record review.Results:Clear images of the upper palate were acquired in five specimens of induced fetuses using SSTOF. Except for 56 cases lost to follow-up, a total of 7 098 fetuses were finally enrolled, of which 6 885 acquired satisfactory images using SSTOF, 213 did not due to inappropriate position, with a success image rate of 97%. SSTOF found cleft palate in 31cases, which were all confirmed after birth or induction, noting an accuracy rate of 100%.Conclusion:Sequential sector scan through oral fissure has a high clinical value on cleft palate screening in the second trimester with advantages of clear image, easy operation, and access to section views.
