Objective : To establish a PTEN gene-downregulated ASD juvenile rat model (VPA-ADV) through combined application of valproic acid (VPA) and PTEN adenovirus (ADV),then to compare the newly constructed animal model with two traditional autistic animal models of VPA and AD,and ultimately to prove the advantages of this model in animal model establishment of acupuncture treatment for ASD. Methods : Wista rats at 12.5 days of gestation were randomly divided into 2 groups.VPA rats were given 600 mg/kg of normal saline (NS) intraperitoneally.Weight,eye opening time and tail deformity were recorded.The newborn mice in NS group were randomly divided into three groups (10 rats in each group):normal (NS) group,virus (ADV) group and virus-negative control (ADV-NC) group;VPA group (20 young rats) was randomly divided into 2 groups (10 rats in each group):valproic acid (VPA) group and valproic acid-binding virus interference (VPA+ADV) group.The body weight,tail length,curved tail,geotaxis text time and skeletal deformity of 5 groups of young rats after birth,the neurobehavioral behavior of 21-day-old rats,and the myelin structure of brain tissue under electron microscope were observed,the expression levels of PTEN,PI3K,AKT,GSK3β and MBP were detected by immunohistochemistry,Western blot and q-PCR. Results: Compared with the NS group,the VPA group had significantly increased malformation rate,slow weight gain,slow tail length growth,and long negative geotaxis reflex time (P<0.05).Compared with the NS group,the weight gain,tail length growth and negative geotaxis reflex time of the three model groups were slower (P<0.05),and the performance of VPA+ADV model was the most significant.There were significant differences in the time of crossing the central grid,the number of crossing the edge grid,and the time of crossing the edge grid in the open field test between the three groups and the NS group (P<0.05).In the selfgrooming experiment,the number of interactions in VPA-ADV model was the least (P<0.05),and the number of digging and self-grooming was the most (P<0.05).In the three-box social experiment,VPA-ADV model had the shortest average number of entries into the social box and the shortest residence time (P<0.05),the time of finding the platform in the water maze experiment was the longest,and the number of times crossing the third quadrant was the least (P<0.05).The structure of the myelin sheath layer in the corpus callosum was observed by transmission electron microscopy.The structure of the NS group was clear and complete.Compared with the NS group,the myelin structure of the ADV-NC group was similar,and the myelin structure of the three model groups was stratified and broken,and there were pathological changes and myelin damage in the ASD.Among them,the myelin sheath of the VPA-ADV model was thickened,stratified,and severe visible disintegration.The results of immunohistochemistry,Western blot and q-PCR showed that the expression of PTEN in VPA+ADV model was down-regulated by about 50%,which was the most obvious.The expression of AKT and MBP increased,and the expression of GSK3β decreased (P<0.05).However,the results of q-PCR showed that the expression of PI3K-mRNA in the three model groups significantly increased (P<0.05),and the change of VPA+ADV model was the most significant. Conclusion The novel PTEN-ASD animal model established by VPA+ADV method is observed to have significant pathological changes that are typical of the manifestation of ASD myelin dysplasia and is determined to have better results than the two traditional autistic animal models.

Schizophrenia is a common chronic mental disorder.Cognitive dysfunction is one of its core symptoms,which severely affects the social functioning of patients.Currently,antipsychotic medication treatments have poor efficacy in improving cognitive functions.Recent studies have found that metformin can improve cognitive dysfunction in patients with schizophrenia.However,the mechanism of action remains unclear.This review summarizes the therapeutic effects of metformin on cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia patients such as improving insulin resistance,repairing neuronal damage,regulating neuroimmunity,and combating oxidative stress,thereby providing new insights for the treatment of cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenia.

Objective To discuss the clinical application value of super selective renal artery embolization-assisted(SRAE-assisted)laparoscopic partial nephrectomy(LPN).Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of patients with stage T1 renal carcinoma,who received LPN,was conducted.The patients were divided into SRAE group(performing LPN without adopting renal hilum vascular clamping)and VC group(performing LPN with adopting renal hilum vascular clamping).The time spent for operation,amount of intraoperative blood loss,and preoperative and postoperative renal functions were compared between the two groups.According to the warm ischemia time(WIT),the patients of the VC group were subdivided into WIT＜25 min subgroup and WIT≥25 min subgroup,and the preoperative and postoperative renal functions were compared between the two subgroups.Results A total of 59 patients with renal carcinoma were enrolled in this study,including 12 patients in SRAE group and 47 patients in VC group.In VC group,WIT＜25 min subgroup had 33 patients and WIT≥25 min subgroup had 14 patients.In both SRAE group and VC group,no patient was referred to open surgery or total nephrectomy.No patient in SRAE group was referred to traditional LPN.The time spent for operation in SRAE group and VC group was 100.50(73.75,132.50)min and 120.00(90.00,145.00)min respectively,the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant(P＞0.05).The postoperative estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)in SRAE group was 100.56(82.85,106.81),which was remarkably higher than 84.66(70.84,94.85)in VC group(P＜0.05).The postoperative serum creatinine level in VC group was 90.50(77.10,104.90)μmol/L,which was strikingly higher than 72.24(65.97,80.27)μmol/L in SRAE group(P＜0.05).The amount of intraoperative blood loss in SRAE group was 50(50,50)mL,which was lower than 50(50,100)mL in VC group(P＜0.05).In VC group,the postoperative eGFR in WIT≥25 min subgroup was 66.13(47.08,82.50),which was lower than 90.80(77.18,98.78)in WIT＜25 min subgroup(P＜0.05).During the postoperative one-year follow-up,no recurrence was observed in both groups.Conclusion Compared with traditional LPN,SRAE-assisted LPN doesn't need to obstruct the renal hilus during surgery,which can avoid the ischemic impairment of the residual renal function and reduce the amount of intraoperative blood loss,moreover,it doesn't increase the operation time,doesn't increase the incidence of complications such as postoperative bleeding,etc.and doesn't affect the curative efficacy and patient's prognosis.

Objective To discuss the safety and efficacy of arterial embolization combined with local ablation in the treatment of recurrent and refractory chest wall tumors.Methods The clinical data of 11 patients with chest wall tumor that recurred after surgery and progressed after treatment were retrospectively analyzed.On the basis of the original treatment regimen,DSA-guided arterial embolization and CT-guided local ablation were employed.VAS score of pain relief and postoperative complications were recorded,and the therapeutic efficacy was evaluated Results All the patients were follow up for a median time of 18.5 months.Successful DSA-guided arterial embolization was accomplished in all patients.Seven patients(9 lesions in total)initially received CT-guided radiofrequency ablation(RFA),and tumor reoccurred in 2 patients,who had to receive RFA once more.Four patients(5 lesions in total)initially received CT-guided microwave ablation(MWA),and tumor reoccurred in one patient,who had to receive MWA again.According to mRECIST criteria,the 6-month,12-month and 18-month objective response rates(ORR)were 72.7%(8/11),45.5%(5/11)and 18.2%(2/11)respectively,the 6-month,12-month and 18-month overall survival rates were 81.8%(9/11),63.6%(7/11)and 27.3%(3/11)respectively,with a median survival time of 13.2 months.The postoperative one-month and 3-month VAS scores were(2.42±1.25)points and(1.91±1.24)points respectively,which were strikingly lower than preoperative(6.78±1.13)points,the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05).After surgery,3 patients developed pleural effusion,which disappeared after puncture and drainage treatment,and 2 patients developed fever,which was improved after symptomatic treatment.One patient died of respiratory failure six months after treatment.Conclusion Arterial embolization combined with local ablation can improve the symptoms of pain and prolong the survival time of patients with chest wall tumors.This combination therapy is less traumatic and clinically safe,and it can be used as an effective treatment for patients with recurrent and refractory chest wall tumors.

Objective:Quantified MRCP imaging data was used as a reference for design and preparation of a modified percutaneous transhepatic cholangio drainage (PTCD) tube.Methods:3.0 T upper abdominal MR and MRCP imaging data of 2 300 patients treated from July 2015 to July 2020 at the Department of Radiology of the Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University were screened and a total of 381 patients diagnosed with biliary duct structures were identified. Causative etiologies among these patients included pancreatic adenocarcinoma (pancreatic head), cholangiocarcinoma, ampullary carcinoma, as well as intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic bile duct dilation. An improved PTCD tube was designed based on MRCP quantification of left and right hepatic and common hepatic duct length.Results:In the setting of biliary obstruction caused by malignancy, the distance of the left hepatic duct from its origin to the point of left and right hepatic duct confluence was 15.9±3.8 mm, while the distance of the right hepatic duct from its origin to the point of left and right hepatic duct confluence was 12.4±3.2 mm; the length of the bile duct from its origin to the point of left and right hepatic duct confluence was 34.0±8.1 mm. The improved PTCD tube design incorporated an altered length of the drainage orifice.Conclusion:MRCP imaging of the biliary tract is effective for measuring biliary tract length in the setting of pathological dilation. Based on our biliary tract measurements, a modified PTCD tube was designed to more effectively meet drainage requirements and manage biliary obstruction caused by Bismuth-Corlette type Ⅱ and Ⅲ malignancies.

Self-microemulsifying drug delivery systems (SMEDDSs) have recently returned to the limelight of academia and industry due to their enormous potential in oral delivery of biomacromolecules. However, information on gastrointestinal lipolysis and trans-epithelial transport of SMEDDS is rare. Aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) fluorescent probes are utilized to visualize the

This study aimed to obtain the first national estimate of the prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in Chinese children. We targeted the population of 6 to 12-year-old children for this prevalence study by multistage convenient cluster sampling. The Modified Chinese Autism Spectrum Rating Scale was used for the screening process. Of the target population of 142,086 children, 88.5% (n = 125,806) participated in the study. A total of 363 children were confirmed as having ASD. The observed ASD prevalence rate was 0.29% (95% CI: 0.26%-0.32%) for the overall population. After adjustment for response rates, the estimated number of ASD cases was 867 in the target population sample, thereby achieving an estimated prevalence of 0.70% (95% CI: 0.64%-0.74%). The prevalence was significantly higher in boys than in girls (0.95%; 95% CI: 0.87%-1.02% versus 0.30%; 95% CI: 0.26%-0.34%; P < 0.001). Of the 363 confirmed ASD cases, 43.3% were newly diagnosed, and most of those (90.4%) were attending regular schools, and 68.8% of the children with ASD had at least one neuropsychiatric comorbidity. Our findings provide reliable data on the estimated ASD prevalence and comorbidities in Chinese children.

Objective:To explore the effect of dual antiplatelet combined with calf serum deproteinized injection in the treatment of mild ischemic stroke after intravenous thrombolysis.Methods:From October 2017 to December 2018, 82 patients with mild ischemic stroke who were diagnosed in the People's Hospital of Ruian were selected.The patients were divided into control group (41 cases) and observation group (41 cases) according to random number table method.The control group was treated with aspirin after intravenous thrombolysis.On this basis, the observation group was treated with dual antiplatelet combined with calf serum deproteinized injection.The course of treatment was 3 months in both two groups.The total effective rate, the changes of hemorheological indicators, the improvement of neurological deficit, the ability of daily living and the ability of returning to society were compared between the two groups before and after treatment.The complications and prognosis were recorded.Results:The total effective rate of the observation group was 95.12% (39/41), which was higher than 78.05% (32/41) of the control group (χ 2=5.145, P<0.05). After treatment, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Score Scale (NIHSS) score, Modified Rankin Score (mRS), Barthel index (BI) score of the observation group were (0.34±0.18)points, (92.15±6.73)points, (0.87±0.36)points, respectively, which of the control group were (0.92±0.35)points, (76.05±4.86)points, (1.64±0.52)points, respectively, there were statistically significant differences between the two groups ( t=8.592, 11.308, 7.099, all P<0.05). The whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity and platelet aggregation rate of the observation group were (4.13±0.36)mPa/s, (1.39±0.31)mPa/s, (32.35±2.61)%, respectively, which were lower than those of the control group [(8.65±0.72)mPa/s, (1.62±0.47)mPa/s, (39.07±3.25)%] ( t=32.740, 2.382, 9.400, all P<0.05). There were no cases of cerebral hemorrhage and death in the two groups, and there was no statistically significant difference in recurrence rate between the two groups (χ 2=2.565, P>0.05). Conclusion:After intravenous thrombolytic therapy for patients with mild ischemic stroke, dual antiplatelet therapy combined with calf serum deproteinized injection can improve the neurological function, life ability and hemorheological indicators of patients, with good prognosis, it is safe and effective.

Objective To explore whether CT perfusion imaging (CTPI)parameters can early predict the curative effect of anlotinib hydrochloride and their predictive accuracy for the treatment in lung cancer patients.Methods 2 6 patients with advanced nonGsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC)were treated with anlotinib hydrochloride and underwent CTPI scanning before chemotherapy,after the first and second treatment cycle respectively.The average values of perfusion value (PV),peak enhancement image (PEI),time to peak (TTP),blood volume (BV)and the change rate of these parameters after one treatment cycle every time were measured and recorded. According to the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors 1.1 (RECIST1.1),the maximum diameter of the target tumor was measured and the tumor regression rate after two treatment cycles was calculated.Then a correlation analysis was conducted between the change rate of perfusion parameters (PV%,PEI%,TTP%,BV%)after one treatment cycle and the tumor regression rate (D%)after two treatment cycles. The ROC curve was performed to evaluate the accuracy of those parameters.Results PV after one treatment cycle was significantly lower than that before treatment,and PV% showed a statistical difference (P＝0.00).The PV% after one treatment cycle was positively correlated with D% after two treatment cycles (r＝0.56).In addition,the AUC of PV% and BV% were 0.99 and 0.88 respectively, and specificity were both 100%,with sensitivity respectively 75.7% and 82.6%.Conclusion CTPI can early reflect the curative effect of anlotinib hydrochloride for advanced NSCLC and provide more options for clinical evaluation.

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological features and molecular phenotypes of gastric cancer with enteroblastic dif-ferentiation (GCED). Methods: A retrospective analysis of 337 patients with gastric adenocarcinoma diagnosed by the pathology de-partment of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University in March 2013-2017 was conducted. Of them, 8 patients were diag-nosed with gastric carcinoma with intestinal blastocyte differentiation. All the patients were elderly, including 6 men and 2 women. The onset age was 68-83 years (mean 76.6 years). Two cases had serum AFP≥200 μg/L before treatment. According to the histopatho-logical morphology, the immunophenotype was analyzed by immunohistochemistry, the SALL4 gene was detected using reverse tran-scription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the relevant literature was reviewed. Results: Microscopically, all cases had primi-tive enteroid structures, consisting of cubic or columnar cells with clear cytoplasm, and immunohistochemical staining showed positivi-ty for either AFP and GPC3 or SALL4. The expression of SALL4 mRNA was significantly increased by RT-PCR. Follow-up from 1 to 5 years showed that 5 patients had liver and other organ metastases, 2 patients died, and 1 patient survived without a tumor. Conclusions:GCED is a rare invasive gastric adenocarcinoma with a worse prognosis than that of normal intestinal adenocarcinoma. The treatment of general intestinal adenocarcinoma has little effect. There are some characteristic changes in histology. It would be helpful for diag-nosis and differential diagnosis if clinicians are familiar with the tumor spectrum and genetic characteristics. Target therapy for an origi-nal marker, such as SALL4, has a bright future.
