Iron is an essential trace element for brain development and cognitive function maintenance. Iron homeostasis disruption in the body, whether due to iron overload or deficiency, may lead to a series of adverse consequences to the brain. Vascular cognitive impairment is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive impairment such as mental decline and weak thinking, which seriously endangers people's health. At present, the relationship between iron metabolism and vascular cognitive impairment is receiving more and more attention. This paper summarizes the progress of iron metabolism and its role in vascular cognitive impairment, in order to provide new ideas and methods for prevention and treatment of vascular cognitive impairment.

Corneal transplantation is an effective treatment for corneal blindness, and it is the only hope for patients with corneal blindness. Cornea has no blood vessels and no lymphatic vessels, which is called immune privilege organ, so the success rate of corneal transplantation is significantly higher than that of other organ transplantation, but the rejection reaction after corneal transplantation is still the main reason for the failure of corneal transplantation. The directional movement of immune cells to lymphoid tissue and inflammatory sites is the mainly immune response after organ transplantation. And the regulatory T cells(Treg)play a key role in immune regulation, which can induce immune tolerance by regulating and inhibiting the activation of effector T cells and reduce the rejection reaction after corneal transplantation. In addition, this review also discussed the effectiveness of applying cordyceps sinensis extract FTY720 to enhance the function of Treg. Based on this, we briefly reviewed the sources, mechanism of action and treatment of Treg after corneal transplantation, so as to provide some reference for the subsequent clinical application transformation and basic research.

Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of patients with paraquat mixed with diquat poisoning.Methods:The clinical data of 145 patients with paraquat mixed with diquat poisoning admitted to the Department of Emergency of the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University from January 20, 2016 to March 31, 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the detection results of plasma toxicants in patients with poisoning, the patients were divided into the paraquat diquat mixed group (mixed group), paraquat group (PQ group) and diquat group (DQ group). The clinical indexes, organ dysfunction, different poisoning doses and prognosis of the three groups were compared. Patients in the mixed group were divided into the survival group and death group according to their 90-day survival, and the differences of each index between the two groups were compared. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was conducted for each index. After Log-rank test, multivariate Cox regression was used to analyze the risk factors of death in the mixed group.Results:A total of 31 patients were included in the mixed group, 92 patients in the PQ group, and 22 patients in the DQ group. There were significant differences in age, toxic dose, number of organ dysfunction, PSS score and APACHE II score among the three groups ( P<0.05). The main injured organs of the mixed group were gastrointestinal tract, kidney, liver, lung and nervous system. The proportion of organ damage in the mixed group was higher than that in the PQ group and DQ group. The white blood cell count, neutrophil count, HB, creatinine, AST, lactic acid, PT and APTT were statistically significant among the three groups ( P<0.05). In the mixed group, patients taking oral administration of < 20 mL all survived; 8 patients taking oral administration of 20 -50 mL died; 11 patients took oral administration of 51-100 mL and 8 (72.7%) died; and 10 patients took oral administration of more than 100 mL and 9 patients (90%) died. In the mixed group, patients with the concentration of diquat > 5000 ng/mL died. Among 31 patients with mixed poisoning, 30 patients (96.78%) had significantly higher concentrations of diquat than paraquat. There were no significant differences in sex, age, time from poisoning to hospitalization, ingestion amount, lymphocyte count, Hb, BNU, CK, total bilirubin, PH, and PT between the survival group and the death group ( P>0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that the ingestion amount, plasma PQ concentration at admission, plasma DQ concentration at admission, and lactic acid were independent risk factors for death ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Paraquat mixed with diquat can cause multiple organ function damage. The main damaged organs are gastrointestinal tract, kidney, liver, lung and nervous system. Compared with PQ or DQ poisoning, mixed poisoning has a higher incidence of organ damage, a more serious condition, and a higher mortality rate. Ingestion amount, plasma PQ concentration at admission, plasma DQ concentration at admission and lactic acid were independent factors influencing the prognosis of mixed poisoning.

Objective:To investigate the early and middle term clinical efficacies of 3D-printed metal prostheses in the reconstruction of bone defects after osteotomy in malignant bone tumors.Methods:A total of 34 patients with malignant bone tumors of lower extremity femur and tibia who underwent 3D printing individualized metal prosthesis replacement surgery in the Department of Bone and Soft Tissue of Affiliated Cancer Hospital of Zhengzhou University from March 2019 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 23 males and 11 females, with an average age of 19.1±15.2 years (range, 7-80 years). There were 22 children and adolescents younger than 18 years old. There were 3 cases in the proximal femur, 15 cases in the middle and distal femur, 10 cases in the proximal tibia and 6 cases in the distal tibia. According to the final pathological diagnosis, 24 cases of osteosarcoma, 6 cases of Ewing's sarcoma, 2 cases of undifferentiated sarcoma, 1 case of osteosarcoma, and 1 case of malignant giant cell tumor of bone were enrolled in this study. Postoperative complications, wound healing, periprosthetic fracture and aseptic loosening, tumor outcome (evaluated by tumor control evaluation criteria), and length difference of lower limbs were recorded. Response evaluation criteria in solid tumor (RECIST) was used to evaluate tumor outcomes. Prosthetic-bone interface healing was evaluated postoperatively, and the function was evaluated based on Musculoskeletal Oncology Society (MSTS) 93.Results:The length of lesions was 70-240 mm in 34 patients, with an average of 125.5±35.4 mm. The length of osteotomy was 80-275 mm, with an average of 160.2±33.9 mm. No tumor was found on the osteotomy surface. The customized prosthesis was firmly installed and closely matched with the side of the preserved articular surface. There were 2 patients with local incision fat liquefaction and 4 patients with superficial wound infection, which healed after debridement and antibiotic treatment. One distal tibia osteosarcoma case developed severe periprosthetic infection 2 months after surgery, resulting in prosthesis implantation failure, limb movement pain and poor ankle function. After removal of the prosthesis, infection control and osteogenesis with the Ilizarov technique, the infection was completely controlled and local osteogenesis was possible. The remaining 33 patients had a good prosthetic-bone interface union. One case was found to have localized bone resorption on the contact surface of the prosthesis 7 months after operation, but the metal prosthesis and screws were not loose. The incisions healed well in other patients, without infection, prosthesis loosening, fracture or other complications. All patients survived and were followed up for 13.8±5.6 months (range, 7-27 months). During the follow-up, there was no recurrence of tumor at the osteotomy end in all patients, but 5 patients developed lung metastasis. At the end of the last follow-up, all patients survived. Among them, 16 patients had unequal length of lower limbs, including 10 cases within 2 cm, 3 cases between 2-5 cm, and 3 cases over 5 cm. With the exception of one patient whose prosthesis was removed due to infection, the MSTS 93 of the other patients was 24.9±2.2 (range, 19-28), and were rated as excellent in 26 cases and good in 7 cases. According to the RECIST evaluation criteria, 26 of 34 patients had complete response, 5 had disease progression, and 3 had stable disease.Conclusion:3D printed metal prosthesis is one of the effective methods for the treatment of bone defects after resection of malignant bone tumors in lower limbs, which is safe, reliable and has satisfactory early curative effect.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of music therapy on cognitive function, motor function, and activities of daily living (ADL) of patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment. MethodsFrom December, 2020 to July, 2022, 48 patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment in Beijing Bo'ai Hospital were enrolled and randomly divided into control group (n = 24) and experimental group (n = 24). Both groups received conventional medication, nursing, and conventional rehabilitation, while the experimental group received music therapy additionally, for eight weeks. Before and after intervention, the cognitive function was assessed by Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognitive Assessment (LOTCA), and motor function and ADL were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel Index (MBI), respectively. ResultsSix cases in the control group dropped down. The increase in the scores of LOTCA and FMA was more in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 2.665, P < 0.05), however, no significant difference was found in the increase of MBI score between two groups. ConclusionMusic therapy could improve the cognitive function and motor function of patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment.

Objective:To explore the relationship between severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) Gc and its N-glycosylation site and viral infectivity, a recombinant pseudovirus containing SFTSV Gc glycosylation site mutant was constructed.Methods:The eukaryotic expression vectors pcDNA3.1(+ )-GC, PCDNA3.1(+ )-GC(N291Q), PCDNA3.1(+ )-GC(N352Q) and PCDNA3.1(+ )-GC (N374Q) were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis and homologous recombination. After their successful expression in 293T cells, we infected VSVΔG-Fluc*G pseudovirus, constructed four recombinant pseudoviruses and tested their effects on the cell force of infection.Results:Double digestion identification and sequence determination confirmed the successful construction of eukaryotic expression vectors pcDNA3.1 (+ )-Gc, pcDNA3.1 (+ )-Gc(N291Q), pcDNA3.1 (+ )-Gc(N352Q) and pcDNA3.1 (+ )-Gc(N374Q). Indirect immunofluorescence and Western Blotting result indicated the successful expression of all the four recombinant plasmids. SFTSV Gc recombinant pseudoviruses are specific for infecting Vero cells. Pseudovirus infection capacity was decreased significantly after the glycosylation site mutation, and the mutant strain with the glycosylation site at position 352 had the lowest level of infectivity ( P<0.001, P=0.001). Conclusions:The glycosylation site of SFTSV Gc may be associated with the infectious effect of the viral infection, and the amino acid mutation at position 352 has the greatest effect on the viral infectivity.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Tuina(Chinese therapeutic massage)in the treatment of functional dyspepsia(FD)in children and adults. Methods:Related articles in PubMed,Excerpta Medica Database(EMBASE),Cochrane Library,Web of Science,China Biology Medicine Disc(CBM),Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database(Wanfang),China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI),and Chongqing VIP Database(CQVIP)were collected.The retrieval time was from each database's start to March 2022.Two researchers independently screened the literature,extracted the data,and evaluated the risk of bias in the included studies.A meta-analysis was then performed using the RevMan 5.4 software. Results:A total of 19 clinical trials were included,9 of which encompassed studies on adults while 10 were on children with FD,comprising a total of 1961 patients.The findings of the meta-analysis showed that the effective rate of FD in children and adults treated with Tuina was significantly higher than that in the control group[risk ratio(RR)=1.15,95%confidence interval(CI)(1.09,1.21),P<0.001],[RR=1.13,95%CI(1.06,1.21),P<0.001].In addition,the effective rate of FD in children and adults treated with Tuina combined with other treatments was significantly higher than that in the control group[RR=1.14,95%CI(1.07,1.21),P<0.001],[RR=1.12,95%CI(1.02,1.24),P=0.02].In terms of single symptoms,Tuina improved epigastric burning sensation score in adults[standardized mean difference(SMD)=-0.41;95%CI(-0.79,-0.02);Z=2.08;P=0.04]compared with that of the Western medicine group.Compared with children treated with oral Chinese medications(CM)or Chinese patent medicine(CPM),children with FD demonstrated lower scores of epigastric pain[SMD=-0.38,95%CI(-0.56,-0.19);Z=3.96;P<0.001],postprandial fullness[SMD=-0.30,95%CI(-0.50,-0.10);Z=2.88;P=0.004],and early satiety[SMD=-0.26,95%CI(-0.47,-0.06);Z=2.54;P=0.01]after receiving Tuina combined with CM or CPM treatment.No adverse events were reported in the Tuina treatment group,and the follow-up indicated that the symptom scores in the Tuina group improved. Conclusion:Compared with the control group,both Tuina and Tuina combined with other treatments are shown to have better effective rates,lower incidence of adverse events,and better follow-up outcomes.The study results suggest that Tuina may be a clinically viable complementary therapy.However,due to limitations in the number and quality of the included studies,the above conclusions should be verified by further high-quality studies.
