Objective To compare the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS),functional electrical stimulation(FES)of the forearm flexors,and their combined intervention on grip strength and cerebral cortical activation in healthy young adults.Methods From December,2024 to March,2025,twelve healthy right-handed young volunteers aged 20 to 23 years were recruited from the Fifth Hospital of Xiamen.They were randomly assigned to receive tDCS alone(tDCS group),FES alone(FES group),or simultaneous tDCS-FES(Sim group)in a crossover design.For tDCS,synchronous bihemispheric stimulation of the primary motor cortex(M1)was applied(anode on the left/cathode on the right).FES was delivered to the right flexor carpi radialis and flexor digitorum superficialis muscles.Isometric maximal grip strength was measured before and after each intervention,and functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS)was used to synchronously monitor oxyhemoglobin(HbO2)during grip strength tasks.Results A case dropped down.The effect of time on grip strength was significant(F=3.964,P=0.048);Post-hoc tests revealed that grip strength significantly increased after intervention in both FES group and Sim group(P<0.05).The effect of groups was significant on HbO2 of the left prefrontal cortex(PFC)and left premotor and supplemen-tary motor cortex(PMC)(F>3.613,P<0.05);Post-hoc tests revealed that the HbO2 of the left PFC and left pri-mary sensory cortex was higher in FES group than in Sim group,while the HbO2 of the left PMC and right PMC was higher in tDCS group than in Sim group(all P<0.05).Correlation analysis indicated that the grip strength was positively correlated with the HbO2 of the bilateral M1 only in Sim group(r>0.694,P<0.05).Conclusion For healthy young adults,tDCS alone mainly activates motor-related brain regions such as PFC and PMC,while FES alone directly enhances peripheral muscle force output and activates the left PFC to participate in mo-tor regulation.The combined intervention achieves the maximum gain in grip strength through a brain-limb inte-grated regulation mechanism,which may be associated with optimization of neural resource and M1 activity.

Objective:To observe the clinical effect of electroacupuncture combined with Qingyi Xianxiong Decoction on the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods:From February 2021 to April 2022, 120 patients with ARDS caused by SAP who were admitted to the department of critical care medicine of Tianjin Nankai Hospital and whose syndrome differentiation belonged to the syndrome of knot chest were selected. They were randomly divided into pure traditional Chinese medicine group and acupuncture medicine group, with 60 cases in each group. The pure traditional Chinese medicine group was received Qingyi Xianxiong Decoction on the basis of conventional western medicine treatment, and the acupuncture medicine group was received electric acupuncture treatment on the basis of the pure traditional Chinese medicine group. The two groups continued to be treated for 7 days. The primary outcome was the ventilator-free days within 28 days after admission to the intensive care unit (ICU), and the secondary outcome measures were mechanical ventilation time, the length of ICU stay, total lenth of hospital stay, time of intra-abdominal pressure recovery, scores of organ function, oxygenation index (PaO 2/FiO 2), serum inflammatory factors, blood amylase, urine amylase, etc. Results:Compared with the pure traditional Chinese medicine group, the ventilator-free days in the acupuncture medicine group within 28 days after admission to the ICU were significantly longer [day: 22.10±2.29 vs. 20.97±2.31, P < 0.05, odds ratio ( OR) = 1.24, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.053-1.460, P < 0.05]. The time of mechanical ventilation, the length of ICU stay, total length of hospital stay, and recovery time of intra-abdominal pressure were significantly shortened [mechanical ventilation time (days): 5.90±2.29 vs. 7.03±2.31, the length of ICU stay (days): 8.07±1.89 vs. 12.08±2.23, total length of hospital stay (days): 19.55±6.82 vs. 22.28±5.19, recovery time of intra-abdominal pressure (days): 6.05±1.81 vs. 8.45±1.76, all P < 0.05]. The Murray score and bedside index for severity in acute pancreatitis (BISAP) score of the two groups after 7 days of treatment were significantly lower than those before treatment, while PaO 2/FiO 2 was significantly higher than those before treatment, and the Murray score of the acupuncture medicine group after 7 days of treatment was significantly lower than that of the pure traditional Chinese medicine group [score: 0.50 (0.33, 0.75) vs. 1.00 (1.00, 1.33), P < 0.05], PaO 2/FiO 2 was significantly higher than that in the pure traditional Chinese medicine group [mmHg (1 mmHg ≈ 0.133 kPa): 390.75±27.73 vs. 330.02±42.34, P < 0.05]. With the prolongation of treatment time, the levels of inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), serum amylase and urine amylase in both groups after treatment continued to decrease, and the levels of the inflammatory factors in the acupuncture medicine group after 7 days of treatment were significantly lower than those in the pure traditional Chinese medicine group [TNF-α (ng/L): 38.20±10.00 vs. 45.35±5.09, IL-6 (ng/L): 0.95±0.44 vs. 7.42±1.39, CRP (mg/L): 8.55±2.79 vs. 36.20±13.97, all P < 0.05]. Subgroup analysis showed that biliary system disease was a risk factor for the duration of mechanical ventilation ≥ 7 days in the treatment of ARDS with acupuncture and medicine ( OR = 2.728, 95% CI was 1.293-5.754). Conclusion:Compared with the pure traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture combined can better reduce the clinical symptoms of patients with ARDS caused by SAP, promote the recovery of patients, and reduce systemic inflammatory reaction, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To investigate the role and mechanism of splenic myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in sepsis-induced adrenal injury (SAI).Methods:Thirty male C57 mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into normal control group ( n = 5), sham operation group (Sham group, n = 5), sepsis model group [cecal ligation and perforation (CLP) group, n = 10] and sepsis+splenectomy group (CLPS group, n = 10). The sepsis model of mice was reproduced by CLP method. In Sham group, only the cecum was opened and separated, then closed, without CLP. In CLPS group, the spleen was removed before CLP. In normal control group, no challenge was given. After 24 hours, the rats were sacrificed by anesthesia, and peripheral blood, spleen, bone marrow, and bilateral adrenal glands were harvested. The pathological of adrenal gland was assessed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining under optical microscope. The ratio of MDSCs in peripheral blood, spleen and bone marrow was determined by flow cytometry. The expressions of MDSCs surface antigen CD11b, Gr-1 and interleukins (IL-6, IL-1β) mRNA in adrenal tissue were measured by real-time quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Western Blot was used to detect the expressions of mammalian rapamycin target protein (mTOR) pathway related proteins including total mTOR (T-mTOR), phosphorylation of mTOR (p-mTOR) and caspase-3. Results:The adrenal cortex and medulla of the normal control group and Sham group were intact and the structure was clear under optical microscope, while in the CLP group, the adrenal gland showed edema, cortical hemorrhage and cell edema. Compared with the CLP group, the adrenal tissue injury was significantly reduced in the CLPS group. Compared with the normal control group and Sham group, MDSCs ratio in the peripheral blood was significantly increased and significantly reduced in the spleen in the CLP group, but there was no significant difference in bone marrow, the expression levels of CD11b, Gr-1, IL-6, IL-1β mRNA and caspase-3 protein were increased significantly and p-mTOR protein expression was significantly decreased in adrenal tissue, there was no significant difference in the expression of T-mTOR protein. Compared with the CLP group, in the CLPS group, the MDSCs ratio in the peripheral blood was significantly decreased (0.143±0.011 vs. 0.324±0.023, P < 0.01), the expression levels of CD11b, Gr-1, IL-6 , IL-1β mRNA and caspase-3 protein in adrenal gland were significantly decreased [CD11b mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 2.90±0.56 vs. 5.74±0.13, Gr-1 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 2.71±0.14 vs. 4.59±0.46, IL-6 mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 2.44±0.64 vs. 5.17±1.04, IL-1β mRNA (2 -ΔΔCt): 3.58±0.52 vs. 4.44±0.26, caspase-3 protein (caspase-3/GAPDH): 0.05±0.01 vs. 0.13±0.02, all P < 0.01], the p-mTOR protein expression was significantly increased (p-mTOR/GAPDH: 0.61±0.11 vs. 0.27±0.04, P < 0.01). Conclusions:The spleen is the major source of MDSCs in SAI. Splenectomy can attenuate SAI by reducing mobilization of MDSCs and activating the mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective To screen the optimal medium formula for obtaining high proliferation rate and differentiation rate of protocorm-like body ( PLB) of Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo ( D.officinale) . Methods We observed the effect of different concentrations of phytohormones such as 6-benzylaminopurine (6-BA) , 1-naphthaleneacetic acid ( NAA) , 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid ( 2,4-D) and kinetin ( KT) , or their combinations together with organic additives such as potato extractive ( PE) , banana extractive ( BE) , apple extractive ( AE) and coconut milk ( CM) on the proliferation and differentiation of PLB of Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo. Results 6-BA, NAA and KT at certain concentrations were beneficial to the proliferation and growth of PLB, and when the concentration of KT was 1.0 mg/L, 50-d PLB proliferation times reached to 7.20. 2,4-D had obvious inhibitory effect on PLB proliferation and growth. The combination of 6-BA, NAA and KT showed stronger effect on PLB proliferation than the phytohormones used alone, and the combination of 0.5 mg/L 6-BA, 1.0 mg/L KT and 1.0 mg/L NAA had the best effect on PLB proliferation, 50-d PLB proliferation times reaching to 9.52. Certain concentrations of PE and AE could promote PLB differentiation, and 100 g/L PE brought well-grown seedling in test tube and the highest differentiation rate, being up to 92.6% . Conclusion The optimal hormone matching and additives concentration on proliferation and differentiation of PLB of Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo have been obtained, which can lay a foundation for its rapid propagation and artificial seed preparation.

Objective To investigate expression of 7 kinds of immune related human cytokines (IL-2, IL-4, IL-12, IL-13, IFN-γ TNF-α, MIP-1α) in CML patients. Methods Pure monoclonal antibody on the prepared NC membrane glass slides under certain environmental condition to make human eytokines protein microarray were spotted and serum samples (25 patients, 25 the normais) were collected. Cytokines concentration in the serum with the protein microarray were tested by ELISA. Results IL-4 and IL-12 serum concentration in CML patients are lower than that of the normal (P <0.05). However. No statistic difference of MIP-1α was found between CML patients the normal. Conclusion Cell mediated immunity and humoral immunity of CML patients are both inhibited in some extent and the expression of MIP-1α may be inhibited by p210 in CML patients.
