BackgroundFamily factors are known to play a critical role in the development, progression and prognosis of adolescent patients with depressive disorder. Psychodrama group therapy has the potential for bringing about positive change in individual growth and relationship repair, but there is currently insufficient research evidence for the effectiveness of psychodrama group therapy in promoting the recovery in depressive disorder in adolescents through improving the family parenting skills of their parents. ObjectiveTo explore the influence of psychodrama group therapy based on family parenting intervention on parents of adolescent patients with depressive disorder, so as to provide references for promoting the recovery for adolescent patients with depressive disorder. MethodsPurposive sampling was used to recruit adolescent patients who met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder of the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) and hospitalized in the psychiatric outpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from October 2023 to March 2024, and their parents (either mother or father) were taken as the study subjects. Psychodrama group therapy based on family parenting intervention was performed once a week for 6 consecutive weeks. After intervention, semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents who participated in the group, and the interviews were recorded. Content analysis method was employed to perform qualitative analysis on the interview recordings and verbatim transcripts. ResultsAfter receiving psychodrama group intervention based on family parenting, parents of adolescent patients with depressive disorder demonstrated improvement in emotional state, enhanced reflective ability and altered coping style, which were specifically manifested as reducing negative emotions, increasing positive emotions, reflecting on themselves, empathizing with others, adjusting cognition, changing the way of stress regulation, improving communication styles and actively seeking resources. ConclusionApplication of psychodrama group therapy based on family parenting intervention may improve emotional state, reflective ability and coping style of the parents of adolescent patients with depressive disorder.

Objective:To investigate the dynamic changes of diaphragm and limb skeletal muscle in patients with sepsis by bedside ultrasound and their correlation with the ratio of blood urea/creatinine ratio (UCR) in 7 days after intensive care unit (ICU) admission.Methods:A prospective observational study was conducted. A total of 55 patients with sepsis admitted to ICU of General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University from June 2022 to February 2023 were selected as the research objects. General information, laboratory indicators [urea, serum creatinine (SCr), and UCR] on days 1, 4, and 7 of ICU admission, and prognostic indicators were observed. Bedside ultrasound was used to assess the dynamic changes of diaphragm morphology [including diaphragmatic excursion (DE), end-inspiratory diaphragm thickness (DTei), and end-expiratory diaphragm thickness (DTee)] on days 1, 4, and 7 of ICU admission, as well as limb skeletal muscle (quadriceps femoris) morphology [including rectus femoris-muscle layer thickness (RF-MLT), vastus intermedius-muscle layer thickness (VI-MLT), and rectus femoris-cross sectional area (RF-CSA)]. Diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) and RF-CSA atrophy rate were calculated, and the incidence of diaphragm and limb skeletal muscle dysfunction was recorded. The correlation between ultrasound morphological parameters of diaphragm and quadriceps and UCR at each time points in 7 days after ICU admission was analyzed by Pearson correlation.Results:A total of 55 patients with sepsis were included, of which 29 were in septic shock. As the duration of ICU admission increased, the incidence of diaphragm dysfunction in patients with sepsis increased first and then decreased (63.6%, 69.6%, and 58.6% on days 1, 4, and 7 of ICU admission, respectively), while the incidence of limb skeletal muscle dysfunction showed an increasing trend (54.3% and 62.1% on days 4 and 7 of ICU admission, respectively), with a probability of simultaneous occurrence on days 4 and 7 of ICU admission were 32.6% and 34.5%, respectively. The UCR on day 7 of ICU admission was significantly higher than that on day 1 [121.77 (95.46, 164.55) vs. 97.00 (70.26, 130.50)], and RF-CSA atrophy rate on day 7 was significantly higher than that on day 4 [%: -39.7 (-52.4, -22.1) vs. -26.5 (-40.2, -16.4)]. RF-CSA was significantly lower on day 7 compared to day 1 [cm 2: 1.3 (1.0, 2.5) vs. 2.1 (1.7, 2.9)], with all differences being statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that RF-CSA on day 7 of ICU admission was negatively associated with the UCR on the same day ( r = -0.407, P = 0.029). Conclusions:Diaphragmatic dysfunction in patients with sepsis occurred early and can be improved. Limb skeletal muscle dysfunction occurred relatively later and progresses progressively. The RF-CSA on day 7 of ICU admission may be a reliable measure of limb skeletal muscle dysfunction in patients with sepsis, can be an indicator of early identification and diagnosis of ICU-acquired weakness (ICU-AW). Continuous loss of muscle mass occurring in septic patients is mainly associated with persistent organismal catabolism, and undergoes significant changes around a week in ICU.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of Yiqi Tongxin formula (YQTM) on liver inflammation in apolipoprotein E-∕- (ApoE-∕-) mice by regulating the nuclear transcription factor-κB (NF-κB)/NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) signaling pathway. MethodForty ApoE-∕- mice were randomly divided into a model group, an atorvastatin group (positive drug group), and low-, medium-, and high-dose YQTM groups (0.39, 0.78, 1.56 g·kg-1). Each drug administration group was given the corresponding concentration of the drug by gavage on the basis of high-fat feeding for 12 consecutive weeks. Eight C57BL/6J mice were used as a blank group and fed with normal chow. After 12 weeks, oil red O staining and Masson staining were used to observe the aortic lesions in mice and to determine whether the modeling was successful. Oil red O staining was used to observe the lipidosis in the livers of mice. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the tissue lesions in the livers of mice. Masson staining was used to observe the distribution of collagen fibers in the livers of mice. Enzyme markers were used to detect the total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in mouse serum, as well as total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) in the liver. Interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and IL-18 were detected in mouse liver by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) was utilized to observe the expression regions of NF-κB and NLRP3 in the livers of mice. Western blot was employed to detect the protein expression levels of NF-κB, NF-κB inhibitory protein (IκB), IκB kinase β (IKKβ), phosphorylated NF-κB (p-NF-κB), phosphorylated IκB (p-IκB), phosphorylated IKK β (p-IKKβ), NLRP3, and Caspase-1 in the livers of mice. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group showed severe aortic lipidosis, and the intracellular fat droplets in the livers aggregated in large quantities. The cytoplasm was filled with fat vacuoles(P<0.01). The serum levels of TG, TC, LDL-C, AST, and ALT were significantly elevated in the mice(P<0.01). TG and TC levels were elevated in the liver(P<0.01). The levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in liver tissue, as well as the protein expression levels of NF-κB, IκB, IKKβ, p-NF-κB, p-IκB, p-IKKβ, NLRP3, and Caspase-1 in the liver were significantly elevated(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the aortic arch plaques of mice in each YQTM group were attenuated, and the fat aggregation in the liver was reduced. The inflammatory cell infiltration was alleviated(P<0.05,P<0.01). The serum levels of TG, TC, LDL-C, AST, and ALT were significantly reduced(P<0.05,P<0.01). TG and TC levels in the liver were reduced. The IL-1β and IL-18 levels in liver tissue, as well as protein expression levels of NF-κB, IκB, IKKβ, p-NF-κB, p-IκB, p-IKKβ, NLRP3, and Caspase-1 in the liver were significantly reduced(P<0.05,P<0.01). ConclusionThe intervention mechanism of YQTM on liver inflammation in ApoE-∕- mice may be related to the down-regulation of the NF-κB/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Objective:To investigate the regulatory effect of transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily C member 3 (TRPC3) on the retina in oxygen-induced retinopathy (OIR) mice and biological behavior of human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HREC).Methods:A total of 32 healthy SPF grade 7-day-old C57BL/6 mice were selected and randomly divided into a control group and an OIR group by the random number table method, with 16 mice in each group.The control group received no special treatment, and the OIR model was established in the OIR group.On postnatal day 17 (PN17), the success of the model establishment was verified by immunofluorescence staining of the retinal patch.The in vitro cultured HREC were divided into a normal control group, a transfection reagent group, and a si-TRPC3 group.The normal control group received no special treatment, while the transfection reagent group and the si-TRPC3 group were transfected with transfection reagent or transfection reagent + si-TRPC3.The relative expression of TRPC3 mRNA was detected by real-time quantitative fluorescence PCR.The relative expressions of TRPC3, transcription factor NF-E2 related factor (Nrf2), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) proteins were determined by Western blot.HREC were further divided into a normal control group, a vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) group, a si-TRPC3 group, and a Pyr3 (TRPC3 channel inhibitor) group, which were cultured in complete medium, medium containing 20 ng/ml VEGF recombinant protein, medium containing 20 ng/ml VEGF recombinant protein (si-TRPC3 transfection for 72 hours), and medium containing 20 ng/ml VEGF recombinant protein+ 1 μmol/L Pyr3 for 48 hours, respectively.The proliferation ability of HREC was detected using cell counting kit 8 (CCK-8). The horizontal and vertical migration ability of cells were detected by cell scratch assay and transwell assay, respectively.This study followed the 3R principles of animal welfare and was approved by the Ethics Committee of Hebei Eye Hospital (No.2023LW04). Results:Pathological neovascular clusters with strong fluorescent staining appeared in the retina of OIR mice on PN17.The relative expressions of TRPC3 mRNA and protein in the retina of OIR mice were 2.057±0.244 and 1.517±0.290, respectively, significantly higher than 0.983±0.033 and 0.874±0.052 of control group ( t=6.165, 3.094; both at P<0.05). The relative expression levels of TRPC3 mRNA and protein were significantly lower, and the relative expression levels of Nrf2 and SOD proteins were higher in the si-TRPC3 group than in the normal control and transfection reagent groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). The CCK-8 experiment results showed that the cell absorbance value was higher in the VEGF group than in the normal control group, and lower in the si-TRPC3 and Pyr3 groups than in the VEGF group, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). The results of the cell scratch experiment showed that the lateral migration rate of VEGF group cells was higher than that of normal control group, while the lateral migration rate of si-TRPC3 group and Pyr3 group cells was lower than that of VEGF group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). The transwell experiment results showed that the number of stained cells in the VEGF group was higher than that in the normal control group, and the number of stained cells in the si-TRPC3 group and Pyr3 group was lower than that in the VEGF group, with statistically significant differences (all at P<0.05). Conclusions:Hypoxia induces increased TRPC3 expression in OIR mouse retina, and downregulation of TRPC3 inhibits HREC proliferation and migration.The mechanism is related to the activation of the Nrf2-related oxidative stress pathway.
