Social behavior is extremely important for the physical and mental health of individuals, their growth and development, and for social development. Social behavioral disorders have become a typical clinical representation of a variety of psychiatric disorders and have serious adverse effects on the development of individuals. The prefrontal cortex, as one of the key areas responsible for social behavior, involves in many advanced brain functions such as social behavior, emotion, and decision-making. The neural activity of prefrontal cortex has a major impact on the performance of social behavior. Numerous studies demonstrate that neurons and glial cells can regulate certain social behaviors by themselves or the interaction which we called neural microcircuits; and the collaboration with other brain regions also regulates different types of social behaviors. The prefrontal cortex (PFC)-thalamus projections mainly influence social dominance and social preference; the PFC-amygdala projections play a key role in fear behavior, emotional behavior, social exploration, and social identification; and the PFC-nucleus accumbens projections mainly involve social preference, social memory, social cognition, and spatial-social associative learning. Based on the above neural mechanism, many studies have focused on applying the non-invasive neurostimulation to social deficit-related symptoms, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) and focused ultrasound stimulation (FUS). Our previous study also investigated that repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation can improve the social behavior of mice and low-intensity focused ultrasound ameliorated the social avoidance behavior of mice by enhancing neuronal activity in the prefrontal cortex. In this review, we summarize the relationship between neurons, glial cells, brain projection and social behavior in the prefrontal cortex, and systematically show the role of the prefrontal cortex in the regulation of social behavior. We hope our summarization will provide a reference for the neural mechanism and effective treatment of social disorders.

Objective To investigate the expression of prolyl 4-hydroxylase β-polypeptide(P4HB)in glioblastoma multiforme(GBM)and its impact on clinical prognosis,as well as on the proliferation and migration of U87 cells.Methods(1)According to the Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA)database,GTEx database and GEPIA2 database,the difference expression of P4HB in GBM and normal brain tissues were analyzed by R software.(2)A total of 52 patients with GBM who underwent surgical treatment from February 2017 to December 2019 were collected from Department of Neurosurgery,the Second People's Hospital of Guiyang.The normal brain tissues of 10 patients were selected as controls.Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression level of P4HB in tumor tissues and normal tissues.The Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test was employed for survival analysis.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the predictive valuable of P4HB expression in survival rate of GBM.Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis were used to identify the expression of P4HB and related clinicopathological factors affecting the survival and prognosis of the patients.(3)Human GBM U87 cells were randomly assigned into three groups:control group,NC-siRNA group and P4HB-siRNA group.P4HB expression was interfered with by the transfection of siRNA in P4HB-siRNA group.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the content of P4HB mRNA in U87 cells.Cell counting kit-8(CCK-8)and immunofluorescence assay were used to analyze the effects of P4HB on the proliferation of U87 cells.Scratch test was used to analyze the effects of P4HB on cell migration.Results The expression of P4HB was significantly upregulated in GBM tissues compared with normal brain tissues(P<0.05).The γδ T cells(r=-0.227)and follicular helper T cells(r=-0.226)were negatively correlated with the expression of P4HB,while natural killer cell(r=0.417),macrophages(r=0.374),neutrophils(r=0.344),and immature dendritic cells(r=0.263)were positively correlated with the expression of P4HB.Kaplan-Meier survival analysis showed that the progression-free survival and disease-specific survival of GBM patients with high P4HB expression were significantly lower than those with low expression(P<0.05).ROC curve showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of P4HB in predicting overall survival rate of GBM patients was 0.982,and 1-year,3-year,and 5-year survival was 0.655,0.724,0.861,respectively.The immunohistochemistry results suggested that P4HB protein was significantly highly expressed in GBM tumors.Survival analysis indicated that high expression of P4HB was associated with bad prognosis in GBM patients(P<0.05).Multivariate Cox regression analysis indicated that high expression of P4HB and TERT promoter mutations were the independent prognostic risk factors for GBM(P<0.05).Compared with control group and NC-siRNA group,the expression levels of P4HB were decreased significantly after transfected with siRNA in U87 cells of P4HB-siRNA group(P<0.01),and the proliferation ability and the wound healing rate were decreased significantly in P4HB-siRNA group(P<0.001).Conclusions P4HB is significantly highly expressed in GBM,which indicates that the prognosis of patients is poor.Knockout of P4HB could inhibit cellular proliferation and migration of GBM U87 cells.P4HB may be used as the relevant predictive marker and potential therapeutic target in GBM.

Objective To investigate the prognosis of patients with hepatitis B virus(HBV)-related intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma(ICC)whose HBV DNA was negative before surgical.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 97 ICC patients who underwent surgery resection at the Fifth Medical Center of Chinese PLA General Hospital between October 2010 and January 2017.All patients were divided into HBV-related ICC(HBV-ICC)group(n=62)and non-HBV-related ICC(Con-ICC)group(n=35).HBV-ICC group included 34 patients with HBV core antigen positive(HBcAb+)and HBV surface antigen positive(HBsAg+),and 28 patients with HBcAb positive and HBsAg negative.Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to plot survival curves and compare the overall survival(OS)and postoperative recurrence-free survival(RFS)among patients in Con-ICC,ICC patients with HBsAg+/HBcAb+,and ICC patients with HBsAg-/HBcAb+.Univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were used to analyze independent influencing factor for OS,RFS and early postoperative recurrence among gender,age,pathogenic factor,liver cirrhosis,Child-Pugh grade,carbohydrate antigen 19-9(CA199),alpha-fetoprotein(AFP),glutamine transferase(GGT),alkaline phosphatase(ALP),total bilirubin(TBil),direct bilirubin(DBil),American Joint Committee on Cancer(AJCC)stage,tumor size,tumor number,tumor differentiation,microvascular invasion,lymph node metastasis,hepatectomy procedure,cholecystectomy,and follow-up treatment.Results Of the 97 patients,the median age was 56 years,and 79(81.4%)of them were male.The median follow-up time was 92.2 months.Eighty-eight(90.7%)patients presented with tumor recurrence and 73(75.3%)died.In multivariate analyses,HBV-ICC and CA199>37 kU/L were independent predictors of OS(HR=0.45,95%CI 0.26-0.77,P=0.003;HR=2.10,95%CI 1.24-3.57,P=0.006),RFS(HR=0.43,95%CI 0.27-0.68,P<0.001;HR=1.78,95%CI 1.12-2.81,P=0.014),and postoperative early recurrence(HR=0.42,95%CI 0.26-0.70,P=0.001;HR=2.02,95%CI 1.20-3.39,P=0.008).AJCC stage Ⅲ was an independent risk factor for postoperative RFS(HR=1.81,95%CI 1.04-3.14,P=0.037).Multiple tumor lesions was an independent risk factor for postoperative RFS and early recurrence(HR=1.73,95%CI 1.07-2.77,P=0.024;HR=1.90,95%CI 1.12-3.24,P=0.017).There was no statistically significant difference in OS,RFS,and early recurrence between HBV-ICC patients with HBsAg-/HBcAb+and Con-ICC patients(P<0.05),whereas HBsAg+/HBcAb+was a significant factor affecting postoperative OS(HR=0.32,95%CI 0.16-0.62,P=0.001),RFS(HR=0.32,95%CI 0.18-0.55,P<0.001),and early recurrence(HR=0.29,95%CI 0.15-0.54,P<0.001)in ICC patients.Conclusions The prognosis of HBV-ICC patients with preoperative HBV-DNA-is better than that of Con-ICC patients.The prognosis of HBV-ICC patients with HBcAb+/HBsAg-is worse than that of HBV-ICC patients with HBcAb+/HBsAg+,but similar to Con-ICC patients.Therefore,the postoperative stratified management of HBV-ICC patients should be emphasized.

The patient,a male newborn,was admitted to the hospital 2 hours after birth due to prematurity(gestational age 27+5 weeks)and respiratory distress occurring 2 hours postnatally.After admission,the infant developed fever and elevated C-reactive protein levels.On the fourth day after birth,metagenomic next-generation sequencing of cerebrospinal fluid indicated a positive result for Mycoplasma hominis(9 898 reads).On the eighth day,a retest of cerebrospinal fluid metagenomics confirmed Mycoplasma hominis(56 806 reads).The diagnosis of purulent meningitis caused by Mycoplasma hominis was established,and the antibiotic treatment was switched to moxifloxacin[5 mg/(kg·day)]administered intravenously for a total of 4 weeks.After treatment,the patient's cerebrospinal fluid tests returned to normal,and he was discharged as cured on the 76th day after birth.This article focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal Mycoplasma hominis purulent meningitis,introducing the multidisciplinary diagnosis and treatment of the condition in extremely preterm infants.[Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics,2024,26(4):432-436]
