Objective:
This study aimed to explore the correlation between balance function and core muscle activation in patients with adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), compared to healthy individuals.
Methods:
A total of 24 AIS patients and 25 healthy controls were recruited. The limits of stability (LOS) test were conducted to assess balance function, while surface electromyography was used to measure the activity of core muscles, including the internal oblique, external oblique, and multifidus. Diaphragm thickness was measured using ultrasound during different postural tasks. Center of pressure (COP) displacement and trunk inclination distance were also recorded during the LOS test.
Results:
AIS patients showed significantly greater activation of superficial core muscles, such as the internal and external oblique muscles, compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Diaphragm activation was lower in AIS patients during balance tasks (p < 0.01). Although no significant difference was observed in COP displacement between the groups, trunk inclination was significantly greater in the AIS group during certain tasks (p < 0.05).
Conclusion
These findings suggest distinct postural control patterns in AIS patients, highlighting the importance of targeted interventions to improve balance and core muscle function in this population.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as a treasure of the Chinese nation, plays a significant role in maintaining public health. In 2019, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council proposed for the first time the establishment of a TCM registration and evaluation evidence system that integrates TCM theory, "personal experience" and clinical trials (referred to as the "Three-in-One" System) to promote the inheritance and innovation of TCM. Subsequently, the National Medical Products Administration issued several guiding principles to advance the improvement and implementation of this system. Owing to the complexity of its implementation, there are still differing understandings within the TCM industry regarding the positioning of the "Three-in-One" Registration and Evaluation Evidence System, as well as the connotation and value orientation of the "personal experience." To address this, Academician WANG Qi, President of the TCM Association, China International Exchange and Promotion Association for Medical and Healthcare and TCM master, led a group of academicians, TCM masters, TCM pharmacology experts and clinical TCM experts to convene a "Seminar on Promoting the Implementation of the ′Three-in-One′ Registration and Evaluation Evidence System for Chinese Medicinals." Through extensive discussions, an expert consensus was formed, clarifying the different roles of the TCM theory, "personal experience" and clinical trials within the system. It was further emphasized that the "personal experience" is the core of this system, and its data should be derived from clinical practice scenarios. In the future, the improvement of this system will require collaborative efforts across multiple fields to promote the high-quality development of the Chinese medicinal industry.

Aim To observe the behavioral effects of exogenous allopregnanolone(ALLO)and its inhibitor finasteride on the receptive period(R)and non-recep-tive period(NR)of PMDD liver-qi inversion model rats and the expression of GABAARα4,GABAARδ mR-NA and protein effects to explore its pathogenesis.Methods The PMDD liver-qi reverse syndrome rat model was prepared.The rats were divided into the normal group R and NR(control-R,control-NR),model group R and NR(Model-R,Model-NR),nor-mal group R+ALLO and NR+ALLO(Control+A-R,Control+A-NR),and model group R+ALLO and NR+ALLO(Model+A-R,Model+A-NR),model group R+finasteride and NR+finasteride(Model+F-R,Model+F-NR).The elevated cross labyrinth ex-periment and social interaction experiment were used to detect the behaviors of rats;fluorescence quantitative PCR and immunofluorescence were used to detect the expression of GABAARα4 and 8 mRNA and protein in rat amygdala and hippocampus.Results In the be-havioral evaluation,in the NR period,in the elevated cross maze test and in the social interaction test,the rats in the model group had anxiety behavior and de-creased social communication ability(P<0.05),while the rats in the Model+A group could effectively relieve anxiety symptoms and improve their social com-munication ability(P<0.05),and the rats in the Model+F group had increased anxiety behavior and social disorder(P<0.05).In fluorescence quantita-tive PCR and immunofluorescence experiments,the ex-pression of GABAARα4 subunit in the model group was up-regulated in the hippocampus(P<0.01),and the expression of δ subunit was down-regulated(P<0.01);the expression of GABAARα4 subunit in the a-mygdala and hippocampus of the Model+A group de-creased(P<0.01),and the expression of δ subunit increased in the hippocampus(P<0.01).Conclu-sions The abnormal expression of GABAARα4 and 8 subunits mediated by ALLO improves the anxiety symptoms and social interaction ability of PMDD,which is the pathogenesis of PMDD liver-qi reverse syndrome,and provides basis and support for subse-quent exploration of the pathogenesis of PMDD liver-qi reverse syndrome.

Aim To construct a DC-targeted modified(lacto-N-fucop-entose Ⅲ,LewisX)Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA)DNA vaccine PLGA nanoparticle(LewisX-PLGA)loading PA PcrV and OprF genes combination,and provide a new idea for the prevention of PA clinical infection.Methods The PLGA nano-particles loading PA PcrV and OprF combined DNA(PLGA+PcrV/OprF)or loading pEGFP(PLGA+pEGFP)were pre-pared by double emulsification-solvent evaporation method.On this basis,the DC-SIGN-targeted ligand LewisX was connected to the surface of PLGA nanoparticles by amide condensation reac-tion.LewisX-modified PLGA-PcrV/OprF(LewisX-PLGA+PcrV/OprF)and LewisX-modified PLGA-pEGFP(LewisX-PL-GA+pEGFP)were prepared.Particle size,Zeta potential,en-capsulation rate and drug loading were evaluated to characterize LewisX-PLGA+PcrV/OprF.The cytotoxicity of LewisX-PLGA+PcrV/OprF was investigated by CCK-8.DC targeting of LewisX-PLGA+pEGFP was validated in vitro transfection.Further,LewisX-PLGA+PcrV/OprF lysosome escape was used to evalu-ate the targeting performance of LewisX-modified PLGA nanopar-ticles loading DNA in vitro.The immunoefficacy of the nanopar-ticles was evaluated by detecting the level of lymphocyte prolifer-ation,humoral immunity and immune protection.Results The diameter of LewisX-PLGA+PcrV/OprF was(201.17±1.6)nm.The encapsulation efficiency of LewisX-PLGA+PcrV/OprF was(85.72±5.3)%.The Zeta potential of LewisX-PLGA+PcrV/OprF was+(31.17±1.8)mV.In the DC2.4 cytotoxici-ty test,the cell survival rates were above 85%.The results of fluorescence microscopy after LewisX-PLGA+pEGFP transfec-tion in vitro showed that LewisX-PLGA+pEGFP was more readi-ly taken up by DC2.4,and LewisX-PLGA+pEGFP had a DC-SIGN specific targeting performance.The CLSM's observation of LewisX-PLGA+Pcrv/OprF showed that more DNA escaped from the lysosome into the cytoplasm.The results suggested that LewisX-PLGA had DC2.4 targeting performance.Because DC2.4 cells endocyted more LewisX-PLGA+Pcrv/OprF into the lysosome,the amount of DNA carried by the nanoparticles esca-ping into the cytoplasm increased.in vivo immune results showed that the lymphocyte proliferation level and antibody titer level of targeted DNA vaccine increased significantly,further improved the survival rate of mice infected with acute pneumoni-a,and reduced the bacterial load of mouse lungs.Conclusions The DC-SIGN-targeted aptamer-modified PA DNA vaccine nanoparticle LewisX-PLGA can be successfully constructed.It promotes the transfection of DNA into DC.It promotes the endo-cytosis of PA DNA vaccine into the DC lysosome and the escape of PA DNA into the cytoplasm.This results in a significant im-mune response in body,which enhances the protective efficacy of vaccine.

Objective To investigate the changing distribution and antibiotic resistance profiles of clinical isolates of Staphylococcus in hospitals across China from 2015 to 2021.Methods Antimicrobial susceptibility testing was conducted for the clinical isolates of Staphylococcus according to the unified protocol of CHINET(China Antimicrobial Surveillance Network)using disk diffusion method and commercial automated systems.The CHINET antimicrobial resistance surveillance data from 2015 to 2021 were interpreted according to the 2021 CLSI breakpoints and analyzed using WHONET 5.6.Results During the period from 2015 to 2021,a total of 204,771 nonduplicate strains of Staphylococcus were isolated,including 136,731(66.8%)strains of Staphylococcus aureus and 68,040(33.2%)strains of coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(CNS).The proportions of S.aureus isolates and CNS isolates did not show significant change.S.aureus strains were mainly isolated from respiratory specimens(38.9±5.1)%,wound,pus and secretions(33.6±4.2)%,and blood(11.9±1.5)%.The CNS strains were predominantly isolated from blood(73.6±4.2)%,cerebrospinal fluid(12.1±2.5)%,and pleural effusion and ascites(8.4±2.1)%.S.aureus strains were mainly isolated from the patients in ICU(17.0±7.3)%,outpatient and emergency(11.6±1.7)%,and department of surgery(11.2±0.9)%,whereas CNS strains were primarily isolated from the patients in ICU(32.2±9.7)%,outpatient and emergency(12.8±4.7)%,and department of internal medicine(11.2±1.9)%.The prevalence of methicillin-resistant strains was 32.9%in S.aureus(MRSA)and 74.1%in CNS(MRCNS).Over the 7-year period,the prevalence of MRSA decreased from 42.1%to 29.2%,and the prevalence of MRCNS decreased from 82.1%to 68.2%.MRSA showed higher resistance rates to all the antimicrobial agents tested except trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole than methicillin-susceptible S.aureus(MSSA).Over the 7-year period,MRSA strains showed decreasing resistance rates to gentamicin,rifampicin,and levofloxacin,MRCNS showed decreasing resistance rates to gentamicin,erythromycin,rifampicin,and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,but increasing resistance rate to levofloxacin.No vancomycin-resistant strains were detected.The prevalence of linezolid-resistant MRCNS increased from 0.2%to 2.3%over the 7-year period.Conclusions Staphylococcus remains the major pathogen among gram-positive bacteria.MRSA and MRCNS were still the principal antibiotic-resistant gram-positive bacteria.No S.aureus isolates were found resistant to vancomycin or linezolid,but linezolid-resistant strains have been detected in MRCNS isolates,which is an issue of concern.
