ObjectiveBased on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), we investigated the brain activity characteristics of gross motor tasks in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and motor dysfunctions (MDs) to provide a theoretical basis for further understanding the mechanism of MDs in children with ASD and designing targeted intervention programs from a central perspective. MethodsAccording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 48 children with ASD accompanied by MDs were recruited into the ASD group and 40 children with typically developing (TD) into the TD group. The fNIRS device was used to collect the information of blood oxygen changes in the cortical motor-related brain regions during single-handed bag throwing and tiptoe walking, and the differences in brain activation and functional connectivity between the two groups of children were analyzed from the perspective of brain activation and functional connectivity. ResultsCompared to the TD group, in the object manipulative motor task (one-handed bag throwing), the ASD group showed significantly reduced activation in both left sensorimotor cortex (SMC) and right secondary visual cortex (V2) (P<0.05), whereas the right pre-motor and supplementary motor cortex (PMC&SMA) had significantly higher activation (P<0.01) and showed bilateral brain region activity; in terms of brain functional integration, there was a significant decrease in the strength of brain functional connectivity (P<0.05) and was mainly associated with dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and V2. In the body stability motor task (tiptoe walking), the ASD group had significantly higher activation in motor-related brain regions such as the DLPFC, SMC, and PMC&SMA (P<0.05) and showed bilateral brain region activity; in terms of brain functional integration, the ASD group had lower strength of brain functional connectivity (P<0.05) and was mainly associated with PMC&SMA and V2. ConclusionChildren with ASD exhibit abnormal brain functional activity characteristics specific to different gross motor tasks in object manipulative and body stability, reflecting insufficient or excessive compensatory activation of local brain regions and impaired cross-regions integration, which may be a potential reason for the poorer gross motor performance of children with ASD, and meanwhile provides data support for further unraveling the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of MDs in the context of ASD and designing targeted intervention programs from a central perspective.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of endothelial activation and stress index(EASIX)for the prognosis of patients with mantle cell lymphoma(MCL).Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted to assess prognosis and compare the clinical features of patients diagnosed with MCL who were admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical University from January 2010 to June 2023,had therapeutic indications and received standard treatment.Results:A total of 66 patients were included and divided into high EASIX group and low EASIX group,according to a cutoff value of 0.97 determined by the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that prealbumin＜0.2 g/L,high EASIX,and ECOG PS score ≥2 were independent risk factors influencing overall survival(OS)in MCL patients.The median OS of patients in the high and low EASIX group was 13.0 and 37.5 months,and the median progression-free survival was 8.8 and 26.0 months,respectively.The proportions of patients with ECOG PS score ≥2 and prealbumin＜0.2 g/L at onset significantly increased in the high EASIX group compared to those in the low EASIX group.Conclusion:At the time of initial diagnosis,EASIX can serve as an independent prognostic indicator impacting OS in patients with MCL.Furthermore,patients in the high EASIX group experience a poorer prognosis and shorter survival duration compared with those in the low EASIX group.

Objective:To explore the application effects of improved case-based learning (CBL) combined with hierarchical and progressive teaching in the standardized training of nuclear medicine resident physicians.Methods:A total of 43 resident physicians who rotated in the nuclear medicine base of our hospital between 2018 and 2023 were selected as the research subjects and divided into an experimental group ( n=22) and a control group ( n=21) according to the order of enrollment. The control group received the traditional teacher-centered teaching model and was divided into junior and senior subgroups according to the training years. The experimental group received the improved CBL combined with hierarchical and progressive teaching. First, through multidimensional evaluation (theoretical testing + standardized case analysis), the students were scientifically divided into preliminary, intermediate, and advanced levels. Subsequently, progressive teaching objectives were set for different levels, and real clinical cases embedded with hierarchical learning tasks were published. During the teaching process, a dynamic discussion mode combining homogeneous and heterogeneous grouping was adopted, and personalized guidance was provided by the teachers. Finally, dynamic hierarchical adjustment was implemented through process evaluation. After the training, the two groups were compared in terms of exit assessment performance (including professional basic theory and practical skills) and teaching satisfaction. Results:The total score of the exit assessment of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group [(86.90±6.78) vs. (75.09±8.45)], and the difference was statistically significant. In terms of practical skill assessment, the experimental group scored higher than the control group in modules such as imaging symptom description [(22.34±2.56) vs. (19.85±3.12)], localization diagnosis [(23.01±2.11) vs. (20.12±2.98)], qualitative diagnosis [(22.89±2.67 vs. 18.67±3.45)], and differential diagnosis [(21.56±2.89) vs. (17.23±3.78)] ( P<0.01). The teaching satisfaction survey showed that the satisfaction scores of the experimental group were higher than those of the control group in nine domains, including theoretical knowledge mastery, clinical thinking, image interpretation, and learning initiative ( P<0.05). Conclusions:The improved CBL combined with hierarchical and progressive teaching can effectively improve the exit assessment performance, clinical practice skills, and teaching satisfaction of nuclear medicine resident trainees, and is worthy of promotion.

Objective:To explore the potential mechanism of action of Xian Fang Huo Ming Yin modified formula(XFHMY)in the treatment of medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw(MRONJ)through bioinformatics analysis and in vitro and in vivo experiments.Methods:Firstly,the efficacy of XFHMY was evaluated by establishing a mice model of MRONJ induced by zoledronic acid(ZOL);Subsequently,the potential molecular mechanism of XFHMY in the treatment of MRONJ was predicted by using network pharmacology;Lastly,the network pharmacology prediction results were collectively validated through MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation and differentiation experiments,Western blot analysis,and immunohistochemical staining of mouse maxillary bone tissue.Results:Animal experiments showed that,compared to the model group,the XFHMY group exhibited significantly improved wound healing in the tooth extraction socket(P＜0.001),a significant reduction in bone volume fraction and empty lacunae rate in the maxilla(P＜0.0001,P＜0.001),and a significant increase in trabecular separation and osteoclast number(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Network pharmacology analysis identified 59 common targets,with both GO and KEGG analyses indicating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway as a crucial mechanism for XFHMY in treating MRONJ.Ten key active components,including quercetin,luteolin,and fisetin,were screened,and these compounds demonstrated strong binding affinity with CTNNB1,a core target of this pathway.In vitro experiments revealed that XFHMY(0.25,0.5,1,2,4 mg/mL)promoted MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation(P＜0.0001)and activated the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by upregulating β-catenin and Runx2 protein expression,thereby reversing ZOL-induced inhibition of MC3T3-E1 cell proliferation and differentiation while enhancing both processes.Immunohistochemical analysis of mouse maxillae showed that,compared to the model group,the XFHMY group had significantly increased β-catenin and Runx2 protein expression(P＜0.05,P＜0.01),consistent with the in vitro findings.Conclusion:XFHMY promotes the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts through activating the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway,which in turn attenuates MRONJ.The novel pharmacological mechanism proposed in this study provides a theoretical basis for the clinical application of XFHMY.

Objective:Observation of the therapeutic effect of Yugu Ju detergent combined with fusidic acid cream on the repair of wounds infected with Staphylococcus aureus,as well as its impact on serum inflammatory markers TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,oxidative stress markers MDA,ROS,SOD and Nrf2 levels.Methods:96 patients with skin defects and SA U infection caused by trauma admitted to the hospital from June 2021 to December 2023 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group.Both groups were treated with debridement,while the control group was treated with external application of fusidic acid cream.The treatment group received external washing with Yugu Ju detergent in addition to the control group.One course of treatment lasted for 7 days,with three consecutive courses of treatment.Observe the wound healing rate,bacterial clearance rate,and changes in TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,SOD,MDA,ROS,and Nrf2 before and after treatment to evaluate clinical efficacy and safety.Results:The total clinical effective rate of the observation group after treatment was 93.75％(45/48),while that of the control group was 75％(36/48).The observation group was significantly better than the control group(P＜0.05);The wound healing rate and bacterial clearance rate of the observation group at each time point after treatment were higher than those of the control group(P＜0.05);After treatment,the Nrf2 and SOD values in the observation group were higher than those in the control group,while the TNF-α,IL-6,IL-1β,MDA,and ROS values were lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).No adverse reactions occurred during the treatment of both groups.Conclusion:The combination of Yugu Ju detergent and Fusidic acid cream can inhibit SA U and promote the healing of infectious wounds,which may be related to the activation of Nrf2 expression to inhibit oxidative stress and inflammatory response.It is safe and effective,and worthy of promotion and application.
