ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanisms of Shujin Jiannao Formula (舒筋健脑方) for cerebral palsy. MethodsThirty 7-day-old SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, and Shujin Jiannao Formula group, with 10 rats in each group. The model group and Shujin Jiannao Formula group established a cerebral palsy model by the classic Rice-Vannucci method. After successful modeling, rats in Shujin Jiannao Formula group were given Shujin Jiannao Formula 16 g/(kg·d) by gavage, while the normal group and model group were given normal saline 10 ml/(kg·d) by gavage once a day. After one week of intervention, the rats' body weight was measured, and Zea-Longa scores, the righting reflex test, and the hindlimb suspension test were conducted for assessment; hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining and Nissl staining were used to observe pathological changes in brain tissue, and the number of Nissl-positive neurons was counted; enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was employed to measure levels of inflammatory cytokines in the brain tissue, specifically interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α); immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression levels of neurofilament protein 200 (NF200) and myelin basic protein (MBP) in brain tissue; Western Blot analysis was conducted to determine the protein levels of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (Akt/PKB/Rac), and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in brain tissue. ResultsCompared with the normal group, rats in the model group showed significantly higher Zea-Longa scores and lower scores in the hindlimb suspension test (P<0.01); pathological findings revealed loose structure in the cerebral cortex, hippocampal atrophy, and neuronal damage in brain tissue. Levels of IL-1β and TNF-α elevated, and the number of Nissl-stained positive neurons in the cortex and hippocampal CA1 region reduced, and immunofluorescence intensity of NF200 and MBP, as well as protein expression levels of PI3K and mTOR, significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the model group, rats in Shujin Jiannao Formula group showed decreased Zea-Longa scores and increased hindlimb suspension test scores (P<0.05); pathological damage in brain tissue alleviated, levels of IL-1β and TNF-α reduced, the number of Nissl-stained positive neurons in the cortex and hippocampal CA1 region increased, and the immunofluorescence intensity of NF200 and MBP, as well as the protein levels of PI3K and mTOR, significantly elevated (P<0.05 or P<0.01). There were no statistically significant differences among the groups in body weight, body-turning time, or AKT protein levels in brain tissue (P>0.05). ConclusionShujin Jiannao Formula can improve the neurological function of rats with cerebral palsy, exert neurorestorative effects, and its mechanism of action may be related to the reduction of inflammatory response in brain tissue and the activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the psychological status of medical students in clerkship during the outbreak of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), analyze the psychological status characteristics and influencing factors of them, and provide an effective basis for carrying out corresponding mental health education and countermeasures.Methods:The survey was conducted on clerkship medical students in the form of questionnaires, including self-made general status questionnaires, symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90) and social support rate scale (SSRS). Statistical analysis was made on above data, chi-square test was used for rates comparison, t test was for comparison between groups, and Spearman correlation analysis was conducted. Results:The survey obtained 359 valid questionnaires, 18.38% of medical students had different aspects of psychological problems. There was no statistical difference between male and female. For those who knew that there was free psychological counseling for the COVID-19, the levels of three factors, such as compulsive symptoms, anxiety, and hostility, were lower than those of the others who didn't know that [(1.30 ± 0.44) vs. (1.41±0.55), (1.19±0.30) vs. (1.26±0.42), (1.17±0.35) vs. (1.26±0.44), P < 0.05]. SSRS results showed that male students had lower social support availability than female students [(7.46±2.03) vs. (8.10±2.06), P=0.004], and except for somatization, other SCL-90 factors scores of the students were negatively correlated with SSRS scores. Conclusion:During the pandemic, medical students in clerkship have a certain degree of psychological problems, which are negatively related to social support, suggesting that these medical students' mental health can be improved by improving social support.

【Objective】 To evaluate musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) detected subclinical synovitis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with different clinical remission criteria so as to explore the clinical characteristics of subclinical synovitis. 【Methods】 Forty-six consecutive patients with RA in clinical remission [disease activity score-28 (DAS28)≤2.6] underwent clinical and MSUS examinations at baseline and 1 year follow-up. Clinical remission was defined according to the DAS28 using the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) and C-reactive protein level (DAS28-CRP), clinical disease activity index (CDAI), simplified clinical disease activity index (SDAI), and American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism criteria Boolean (ACR/EULAR criteria). Subclinical synovitis was assessed by MSUS. Differences between the subclinical synovitis and non-subclinical synovitis groups were analyzed. 【Results】 The percentages of patients who achieved DAS28-ESR, DAS28-CRP, CDAI, SDAI, and ACR/EULAR remission at baseline and 1 year were 97.8%, 95.6%, 67.4%, 54.3%, 52.2% and 91.3%, 93.5%, 54.3%, 50.0%, and 45.6%, respectively. Subclinical synovitis was detected in 55.5%, 54.5%, 45.2%, 40.0%, 41.6% and 45.2%, 46.5%, 40.0%, 39.1%, and 38.1% of these patients, respectively. There were 45.6% and 41.3% patients who fulfilled all the criteria, yet 38.1% and 36.8% still had evidence of subclinical synovitis at baseline and 1 year. Compared with the patients without subclinical synovitis, those with subclinical synovitis had a significantly positive rate of anti-CCP antibody and a higher disease activity score at baseline (P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 MSUS detected subclinical synovitis is common. The positive anti-CCP antibody and higher disease activity score at baseline may be related to subclinical synovitis in patients with RA in clinical remission.

【Objective】 To provide data reference for the implementation of the homogenization of pre-donation blood testing by investigating the relevant situation of pre-donation blood testing in various blood services in Chongqing and analyzing their differences. 【Methods】 A questionnaire covering the basic information of pre-donation blood testing items, quality control and the management of deferral donors was developed, and issued to 19 blood services in Chongqing through E-mails by Chongqing Society of Blood Transfusion. The data collected were sorted, revised and analyzed. 【Results】 A total of 19 questionnaires from 19 blood services(including 1 blood center, 1 sub-center, 6 central blood stations and 11 central blood banks) were collected. All of the pre-donation blood test items of 19 blood services met the Blood Donor Health Test Requirements. Hemoglobin, blood group, ALT and HBsAg testing were carried out by 19 blood services, anti-TP testing by 15, and lipid blood testing by 11, using different detection methods and reagents. Significant differences were found in the frequency and rules of internal quality control for quantitative testing items. In addition, the deferral time and re-recruitment strategy of deferral blood donors were also significantly different. 【Conclusion】 There were differences in the management of pre-donation blood testing and blood donor management after blood donation among blood services in Chongqing. Further standardization was needed to realize regional homogenization and guarantee blood safety and the safety of blood donors.

Background::Chemotherapy plus granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) regimen is one of the available approaches to mobilize peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs). It causes thrombocytopenia and delays leukapheresis. This study aimed to evaluate the role of recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) before mobilization chemotherapy in facilitating leukapheresis in patients with lymphoma.Methods::In this randomized open-label phase 2 trial, patients were randomly assigned in a 1:2 ratio to receive mobilization with rhTPO plus GCSF in combination with chemotherapy (the rhTPO plus GCSF arm) or GCSF alone in combination with chemotherapy (the GCSF alone arm). The recovery of neutrophils and platelets and the amount of platelet transfusion were monitored.Results::Thirty patients were enrolled in this study between March 2016 and August 2018. Patients in the rhTPO plus GCSF arm (n = 10) had similar platelet nadir after mobilization chemotherapy ( P=0.878) and similar amount of platelet transfusion (median 0 vs. 1 unit, P=0.735) when compared with the GCSF alone arm (n = 20). On the day of leukapheresis, the median platelet count was 86 × 10 9/L (range 18-219) among patients who received rhTPO and 73 × 10 9/L (range 42-197) among those who received GCSF alone ( P=0.982). After the use of rhTPO, the incidence of platelet count <75 × 10 9/L on the day of leukapheresis did not decrease significantly (30.0% vs. 50.0%, P=0.297). Platelet recovery after PBPC transfusion was more rapid in the rhTPO plus GCSF arm (median 8.0 days [95% confidence interval 2.9-13.1] to platelets ≥50 × 10 9/L vs. 11.0 days [95% confidence interval 8.6-13.4], P=0.011). The estimated total cost of the mobilization and reconstitution phases per patient was similar between the two treatmtent groups ( P=0.362 and P=0.067, respectively). Conclusions::Our findings indicate that there was no significant clinical benefit of rhTPO use in facilitating mobilization of progenitor cells, but it may promote platelet recovery in the reconstitution phase after high-dose therapy.Trial registration::This trial has been registered in Clinicaltrials.gov as NCT03014102.
