Parkinson's disease(PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease in the world, which seriously affects the lives of patients. With the acceleration of aging process, the number of patients continues to rise. Its main pathological features are aggregation of α-synuclein and degenerative death of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. However, the pathogenesis of PD is still unclear. According to reports, the brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)/tyrosine kinase receptor B(TrkB) signaling pathway is highly expressed and activated in dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, which is closely related to neurophysiological processes such as neurogenesis, synaptic plasticity, neuroinflammation, and oxidative stress. It plays an important role in the occurrence and development of PD. At present, the treatment methods of Western medicine for PD are mainly based on drugs such as levodopa and dopamine agonists to alleviate motor symptoms, but with the increase of dose, the adverse reactions are significantly enhanced. Traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) has attracted people to explore its therapeutic effects on PD due to its characteristics of homology of medicine and food, economy, minor adverse reactions and multi-target action. Therefore, this paper systematically reviews the role of BNDF/TrkB pathway in the pathogenesis of PD and the mechanism of TCM formulas, extracts and monomers in the treatment of PD by regulating the BNDF/TrkB pathway according to retrieving the latest research reports at home and abroad, so as to provide a reference for the clinical application of related TCM and the development of new drugs for PD.

Based on the theories of "pathogenesis caused by constraint emotions" and "visceral orifices", it is believed that the pathogenesis of tinnitus caused by constraint syndrome follows the evolution pattern of "qi constraint (liver qi constraint) → fire disturbance (liver constraint transforming into fire) → deficiency impairment (liver constraint with spleen deficiency) → blood stasis (liver constraint leading to blood stasis)". The treatment is guided by the principle of integrated internal and external therapy with harmonization of both body and mind. Internally, the treatment focuses on rectifying zang-fu imbalances, primarily using the Xiaoyao Powder (逍遥散), with modifications based on syndrome differentiation. External therapies aim to unblock the meridians and orifices, commonly using auricular acupressure and Chinese herbal hot compresses. Additionally, traditional Chinese five-tone music therapy is applied to regulate emotional and mental disturbances. By integrating these three approaches, a comprehensive treatment strategy is formed that harmonizes both body and mind for managing tinnitus associated with constraint syndrome.

Background::Clinical opportunistic screening is a cost-effective cancer screening modality. This study aimed to establish an easy-to-use diagnostic model serving as a risk stratification tool for identification of individuals with malignant gastric lesions for opportunistic screening.Methods::We developed a questionnaire-based diagnostic model using a joint dataset including two clinical cohorts from northern and southern China. The cohorts consisted of 17,360 outpatients who had undergone upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination in endoscopic clinics. The final model was derived based on unconditional logistic regression, and predictors were selected according to the Akaike information criterion. External validation was carried out with 32,614 participants from a community-based randomized controlled trial.Results::This questionnaire-based diagnostic model for malignant gastric lesions had eight predictors, including advanced age, male gender, family history of gastric cancer, low body mass index, unexplained weight loss, consumption of leftover food, consumption of preserved food, and epigastric pain. This model showed high discriminative power in the development set with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.791 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.750–0.831). External validation of the model in the general population generated an AUC of 0.696 (95% CI: 0.570–0.822). This model showed an ideal ability for enriching prevalent malignant gastric lesions when applied to various scenarios.Conclusion::This easy-to-use questionnaire-based model for diagnosis of prevalent malignant gastric lesions may serve as an effective prescreening tool in clinical opportunistic screening for gastric cancer.

In order to meet the market demand for the fast and accurate genetic detection of African swine fever virus(ASFV),a new method for EIS-qPCR detection was established with a rapid,high sensitivity,and pollution prevention.Primers and probes for a duplex qPCR were designed based on the conserved region of ASFV virus p72 gene and the endogenous internal standard(EIS)cytb gene sequence in pigs.An anti-contamination system was established with uracil DNA N-gly-cosylase enzyme in the reaction system.The results showed that the method can finish the rapid qPCR detection of ASFV within 30 min with a minimal detection limit of 4.12 copies/μL.Moreo-ver,the method only detected the ASFV p72 gene,and no amplifications of classical swine fever vi-rus(CSFV),pseudorabies virus(PRV),porcine parvo virus(PPV),porcine reproductive and re-spiratory syndrome virus(PRRSV)and porcine circovirus type 2(PCV2)were observed.Repeti-tive results showed a coefficient of variation below 2%.With strong anti-pollution capacity,the method can effectively eliminate false-positive amplification caused by low-dose aerosol pollution.Detection results of 146 clinical samples showed a 100%consistence with the results of the com-mercial ASFV detection kit.Compared with similar technologies,the EIS-qPCR established in this study was faster,sensitive,and suitable for the rapid diagnosis of ASFV infection in the early stage,which provided the tool for the monitoring and precise prevention and control of African swine fever.

Objective:To report the results of national surveillance on the distribution and antimicrobial resistance profile of clinical Gram-positive bacteria isolates from bloodstream infections in China in 2022.Methods:The clinical isolates of Gram-positive bacteria from blood cultures in member hospitals of National Bloodstream Infection Bacterial Resistant Investigation Collaborative System(BRICS)were collected during January 2022 to December 2022. Antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted by agar dilution or broth dilution methods recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute(CLSI). WHONET 5.6 and SPSS 25.0 software were used to analyze the data.Results:A total of 3 163 strains of Gram-positive pathogens were collected from 51 member units,and the top five bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus( n=1 147,36.3%),coagulase-negative Staphylococci( n=928,29.3%), Enterococcus faecalis( n=369,11.7%), Enterococcus faecium( n=296,9.4%)and alpha-hemolyticus Streptococci( n=192,6.1%). The detection rates of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)and methicillin-resistant coagulase-negative Staphylococci(MRCNS)were 26.4%(303/1 147)and 66.7%(619/928),respectively. No glycopeptide and daptomycin-resistant Staphylococci were detected. The sensitivity rates of Staphylococcus aureus to cefpirome,rifampin,compound sulfamethoxazole,linezolid,minocycline and tigecycline were all >95.0%. Enterococcus faecium was more prevalent than Enterococcus faecalis. The resistance rates of Enterococcus faecium to vancomycin and teicoplanin were both 0.5%(2/369),and no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium was detected. The detection rate of MRSA in southern China was significantly lower than that in other regions( χ2=14.578, P=0.002),while the detection rate of MRCNS in northern China was significantly higher than that in other regions( χ2=15.195, P=0.002). The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in provincial hospitals were higher than those in municipal hospitals( χ2=13.519 and 12.136, P<0.001). The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS in economically more advanced regions(per capita GDP≥92 059 Yuan in 2022)were higher than those in economically less advanced regions(per capita GDP<92 059 Yuan)( χ2=9.969 and 7.606, P=0.002和0.006). Conclusions:Among the Gram-positive pathogens causing bloodstream infections in China, Staphylococci is the most common while the MRSA incidence decreases continuously with time;the detection rate of Enterococcus faecium exceeds that of Enterococcus faecalis. The overall prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococci is still at a low level. The composition ratio of Gram-positive pathogens and resistant profiles varies slightly across regions of China,with the prevalence of MRSA and MRCNS being more pronounced in provincial hospitals and areas with a per capita GDP≥92 059 yuan.

No vancomycin- and teicolanin-resistant Staphylococcus were detected. The prevalence of vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and Enterococcus faecalis were 0.5% and 0.6%,respectively. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae(CR-KPN)were 1.9%(805/42 956)and 11.7%(3 950/33 761),respectively. The resistance rate of CR-KPN to tigecycline was 3.9%. The prevalence of carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa(CR-PAE)and Acinetobacter baumannii(CR-ABA)complex were 18.4%(3 936/21 447)and 62.9%(8 649/13 744),respectively,with low resistance rate to polycolistin B(6.9% and 1.7%,respectively). The detection rates of MRSA,CR-ABA complex,third-generation cephalosporin-resistant Escherichia coli(CTX/CRO-R-ECO)and quinolone-resistant Escherichia coli(QNR-ECO)in northern Anhui were the highest(50.3%,72.9%,59.2% and 55.6%,respectively),which were higher than those in central and southern Anhui( χ2=112.734 and 575.069,132.747 and 233.885,93.986 and 471.209,60.062 and 230.669,all P<0.001),and the detection rate in central Anhui was higher than that in southern Anhui( χ2=278.671,29.219,207.395 and 80.267,all P<0.001). The detection rates of CR-KPN and thirdgeneration cephalosporinresistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(CTX/CRO-R-KPN)in central Anhui were the highest(15.5% and 33.3%,respectively),which were higher than those in northern and southern Anhui( χ2=156.237 and 325.533,76.928 and 180.686,all P<0.001),and the detection rate in northern Anhui was higher than that in southern Anhui( χ2=32.202 and 25.539, P<0.001). The detection rates of CTX/CRO-R-ECO and QNR-ECO were the highest in the elderly(55.2% and 55.8%,respectively),which were higher than those in children,and young and middle aged adults( χ2=23.906 and 120.575,376.404 and 196.612, P<0.001). The detection rate of CTX/CRO-R-KPN in neonates was the highest(57.1%),which was significantly higher than that in children,adults and the elderly( χ2=46.141,38.843 and 32.093, P<0.001),and the detection rate in the elderly was higher than that in children and adults( χ2=13.604 and 13.471, P<0.001). The detection rates of MRSA and MRCNS were the highest in children(42.8% and 77.8%,respectively),which were higher than those in adults( χ2=21.766 and 10.704, P<0.001). Except MRSA and vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium and faecalis,the detection rates of major drug-resistant bacteria in tertiary hospitals were higher than those in secondary hospitals( P<0.05 or <0.01). Conclusion:In 2023,the situation of antimicrobial resistance in Anhui province was serious,especially in northern and central Anhui,and targeted drug resistance control measures should be taken according to the monitoring results. At the same time,it is necessary to pay attention to the bacterial resistance in the elderly,newborns and children,and strengthen the rational use of antibiotics by clinicians to curb the spread of drug-resistant bacteria.

Tandem occlusion of the anterior circulation is a specific acute large vessel occlusion, which is defined in most of the literature as a combination of intracranial large vessel occlusion and high degree of stenosis or occlusion of the ipsilateral extracranial internal carotid artery.Tandem occlusion is presented in approximately 15% patients with acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation who receive endovascular treatment. In patients with tandem occlusion, endovascular treatment is more effective than drug therapy; however, controversy still exists regarding the optimal management strategy of endovascular treatment. This article reviews the recent advance in endovascular treatment of tandem occlusion in the anterior circulation in recent years, to improve the overall care standard for acute ischemic stroke with tandem occlusion of the anterior circulation.
