Sennoside A (SA), a typical prodrug, exerts its laxative effect only after its transformation into rheinanthrone catalyzed by gut microbial hydrolases and reductases. Hydrolases have been identified, but reductases remain unknown. By linking a photoreactive group to the SA scaffold, we synthesized a photoaffinity probe to covalently label SA reductases and identified SA reductases using activity-based protein profiling (ABPP). From lysates of an active strain, Bifidobacterium pseudocatenulatum (B. pseudocatenulatum), 397 proteins were enriched and subsequently identified using mass spectrometry (MS). Among these proteins, chromate reductase/nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) phosphate (NADPH)-dependent flavin mononucleotide (FMN) reductase/oxygen-insensitive NADPH nitroreductase (nfrA) was identified as a potent SA reductase through further bioinformatic analysis and The Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) database screening. We also determined that recombinant nfrA could reduce SA. Our study contributes to further illuminating mechanisms of SA transformation to rheinanthrone and simultaneously offers an effective method to identify gut bacterial reductases.

Objective To explore the effect of hyperbaric oxygen combined with synchronous brain bionic electrical stimulation on patients with stroke-related sleep disorders.Methods From November,2023 to November,2024,a total of 68 stroke patients with stroke-related sleep disorders ad-mitted to Huashan Hospital,Fudan University were selected.They were randomly divided into control group(n=34)and experimental group(n=34).The control group received routine hyperbaric oxygen therapy,while the ex-perimental group received routine hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with synchronous brain bionic electrical stimulation inside the chamber,for four weeks.Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),sleep-monitoring wrist-bands,Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS)were used to assess the outcomes before and after treatment..Results Four patients in the control group and one in the experimental group dropped out.After treatment,the scores of each factors of PSQI decreased in both groups(t>2.693,P<0.05),and were lower in the experimental group than in the control group(t>2.699,P<0.01),expect hypnotic drug use(P>0.05);the total sleep time,deep sleep time and rapid eye movement sleep time became longer in both groups(|t|>7.270,P<0.001),and they were longer in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|>5.712,P<0.001);the scores of SAS and SDS decreased in both groups(t>9.530,P<0.001),and they were less in the experimental group than in the control group(t>4.740,P<0.001).Conclusion Synchronous brain bionic electrical stimulation in hyperbaric oxygen chamber could effectively prolong the total sleep time,deep sleep time and rapid eye movement time of patients with stroke-related sleep disorders,re-lieve anxiety and depression after stroke,and improve sleep quality.

Objective To explore the differences in neural activity between patients with anorexia nervosa(AN)and healthy controls(HC),as well as the association between these differences and symptoms in AN patients,using activation likelihood estimation(ALE)meta-analysis.Methods The literature search covered the period from 2000 to March 2025.From a pool of 588 identified studies,4 studies focusing on the neural activity differences between AN patients and HC were selected for inclusion.These studies comprised 106 participants and 21 sets of coordinates.The ALE meta-analysis method was employed,and the GingerALE software was used to systematically analyze the reported brain region changes and their peak coordinates,aiming to investigate the differences in brain functional activity between AN patients and HC.Results Compared to the HC group,AN group showed significantly enhanced activation in the left parahippocampal gyrus/amygdala(ALE value=0.39×10-2),right parahippocampal gyrus/amygdala(ALE value=0.39×10-2)and suboccipital gyrus(ALE value=0.39×10-2),along with a significant reduction in activation in Brodmann area 17(ALE value=0.61×10-2)(P<0.01,FWE corrected).Conclusion Key brain regions in AN patients including the parahippocampal gyrus,inferior occipital gyrus,and amygdala demonstrate significant functional activation abnormalities.

Atrial fibrillation is the most common type of chronic cardiac arrhythmia. Catheter ablation and left atrial appendage occlusion are effective treatment methods for atrial fibrillation， but these procedures require anesthesia support. However， anesthetic drugs often cause side effects such as nausea， vomiting， involuntary movements， and respiratory depression. This paper presents a case of a successful one-stop procedure for cryoballoon ablation and left atrial appendage occlusion of atrial fibrillation performed entirely under acupuncture anesthesia. Thirty minutes before the procedure， acupuncture needles were inserted perpendicularly at bilateral Neiguan （PC 6）， Lieque （LU 7）， Ximen （PC 4） and （LU 6）. After obtaining the deqi （得气） sensation， an electroacupuncture device was connected， and electroacupuncture anesthesia was used for pain control throughout the procedure. The patient exhibited good tolerance and cooperation， with electroacupuncture anesthesia completely replacing intravenous anesthetics， ensuring the smooth completion of the surgery. Postoperative follow-up showed favorable outcomes.

Objective To analyze the clinical significance of subjective visual vertical (SVV) tests at different head deflection angles in assessing utricle function in patients with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). Methods A total of 61 BPPV patients who were treated at the Hearing Impairment and Vertigo Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Xinhua Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from August 2022 to May 2023 were retrospectively included, and 29 healthy adults were selected as controls. SVV tests were performed on all research subjects at different head deflection angles: upright head (0°), left head 45° (L45°), right head 45° (R45°). The test results between the two groups were compared. Results SVV absolute value at R45° in BPPV group was lower than that in the control group (P＝0.003); there was no significant difference in SVV values at 0° and L45° between the two groups. There was no statistical difference in SVV values at different head deflection angles between the control group and the left BPPV group. SVV absolute value at R45° in right BPPV group was lower than that in the control group (P＜0.001); there was no statistical difference in SVV values at 0° and L45° between the two groups. Conclusions SVV test can provide subjective information about the utricle, and SVV tests at different head deflection angles can fine-tune evaluate the function of the utricle in BPPV patients.

This paper introduces Professor WANG Jihong's clinical experience in treating refractory lateral epicondylitis using the Wang's crescent technique of blade needle. Based on the classical theories of Huangdi Neijing (the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic) such as the "twelve sinew meridians" "short needling" and "shu needling", Professor WANG applies a self-designed blade needle with crescent needling method. This approach forms a distinctive treatment philosophy characterized by "sinew meridians as the foundation, selecting points at the pain site; using chicken-claw needling technique deliverd at both internal and external; integration of heaven, earth, and man, using both short and shu needling; treating tendon injuries and inflammation with the crescent technique of blade needle". It embodies the therapeutic concept of "treating tendons and bones simultaneously, harmonizing yin and yang", and shows unique advantages in the treatment of this condition.

This article introduces the clinical experience of Professor WANG Jihong in treatment of post-stroke hypermyotonia with Lai's tongyuan therapy (therapy for removing obstruction and consolidating vital essence). Regarding the pathogenesis of this disease, Professor WANG Jihong emphasizes a "trinity" approach, "the mind disturbed, qi and blood unbalanced, and yuan (vital essence) not consolidated". In treatment, "the unblocking, conducting and nourishing are taken as the fundamental" to "prevent from over-dredging, balancing yin and yang, and avoiding over-replenishing". In clinical practice, the combined measure is adopted with acupuncture, tuina and herbal medicine. In acupuncture, the acupoints are selected according to the front-back combination of the points of the conception vessel and the governor vessel (basic prescription: Yintang [GV24⁺], Baihui [GV20] and Niesanzhen; prescription for promoting the governor vessel: Dazhui (GV14), Jinsuo [GV8], Xinshu [BL15], Pishu [BL20] and etc.; and the prescription for consolidating the vital essence: Danzhong (CV17), Zhongwan [CV12], Tianshu [ST25], Qihai [CV6]) and etc., as well as those on the four limbs for "opening, closing and pivoting of yin and yang" (on the upper limbs of the affected side: Jiquan [HT1], Jianyu [LI15], Quchi [LI11], Quze [PC3] and etc.; on the lower limbs of the affected side: Huantiao [GB30], Liangqiu [ST34], Xuehai [SP10], Yanglingquan [GB34]) and etc. The above points co-act on regulating the conception vessel and the governor vessel, and balancing yin and yang. Tuina is delivered on the governor vessel, the bladder meridian of foot-taiyang and wind points on the area between the head and nape, so as to promote the governor vessel, benefit the orifices, strengthen the spine and relax tendons. Herbal medicine works on nourishing the liver to soften tendons, nourishing blood to remove wind, regulating qi to replenish the spleen, consolidating the root to cultivate the vital essence, activating blood circulation to unblock meridians, and removing stasis to resolve phlegm. Tongyuan therapy provides a certain instruction in treatment of post-stroke hypermyotonia.
