In order to explore effective ways to reduce non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among female adolescents, a total of 45 female adolescent patients with NSSI in West China Hospital of Sichuan University and Guizhou Second Provincial People's Hospital from June 2021 to June 2024 were selected randomly that divided into groups A, B and C, with 15 cases in each group. Group A was treated with repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and bipolar depression triple therapy, and group B was treated with bipolar depression triple therapy to compare the effectiveness and safety. Group C received bipolar depression triple therapy combined with sham stimulation which only produced stimulating sounds but no stimulating magnetic field as a control in the study. After treatment, the Hamilton Anxiety Score (HAMA), Hamilton Depression Score (HAMD) and Nurses' Global Assessment of Suicide Risk (NGASR) in group A were significantly lower than those in group B and C ( P < 0.01). rTMS combined with bipolar depression triple therapy has a definite effect on reducing NSSI in female adolescents, which can reduce the incidence rate of short-term NSSI behavior in patients.

Mechanical pain is one of the most common causes of clinical pain, but there remains a lack of effective treatment for debilitating mechanical and chronic forms of neuropathic pain. Recently, neurotoxin GsMTx4, a selective mechanosensitive (MS) channel inhibitor, has been found to be effective, while the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here, with multiple rodent pain models, we demonstrated that a GsMTx4-based 17-residue peptide, which we call P10581, was able to reduce mechanical hyperalgesia and neuropathic pain. The analgesic effects of P10581 can be as strong as morphine but is not toxic in animal models. The anti-hyperalgesic effect of the peptide was resistant to naloxone (an μ-opioid receptor antagonist) and showed no side effects of morphine, including tolerance, motor impairment, and conditioned place preference. Pharmacological inhibition of TRPV4 by P10581 in a heterogeneous expression system, combined with the use of Trpv4 knockout mice indicates that TRPV4 channels may act as the potential target for the analgesic effect of P10581. Our study identified a potential drug for curing mechanical pain and exposed its mechanism.

Objective To establish an intelligent ICD coding management system to solve the current difficulties in hos-pital ICD coding management,reduce the error rate of information uploading,and improve the accuracy of coding.Methods An ICD coding management system was constructed,with the national clinical version of ICD coding as the main index system.The mapping relationship between the main index coding and the medical insurance version of ICD coding,as well as the hospital ver-sion of ICD coding,was established to achieve real-time maintenance and adjustment.In accordance with the requirements of na-tional public hospital performance evaluation and hospital level assessment,we will establish the ICD coding"label"function and knowledge base for evaluation indicators,embed them into electronic medical record system(EMR),and implement intelligent prompting functions for clinicians to facilitate systematic statistical analysis of data.Results After the establishment of the sys-tem,the error rate of mapping and uploading information such as disease diagnosis and procedures coding decreased significantly(1.2‰ vs 0.3‰,P＜0.05).The accuracy of the main discharge diagnosis and procedures coding has significantly improved(82％vs 91％,P＜0.05;78％vs 88％,P＜0.05).The satisfaction of clinicians and coders increased significantly(65％vs 82％,P＜0.05;79％vs 88％,P＜0.05).Conclusion This system can reduce the error rate of mapping and uploading infor-mation,improve the accuracy and completeness of coding,enhance the management level of ICD coding,and promote the high-quality development of medical care.

Objective To construct an aptamer-functionalized carboxylated graphene oxide(CGO)fluo-rescent sensor to achieve highly sensitive and specific detection of ketamine(KET)and its metabolite norketamine(NK)using an aptamer capable of simultaneously recognizing KET and NK.Methods A specific aptamer for simultaneous recognition of KET and NK was screened using graphene oxide-sys-tematic evolution of ligand by exponential enrichment(GO-SELEX)and molecular docking tech-niques.The aptamer,labeled with Cy5 fluorescence,was chemically conjugated to CGO to construct an aptamer-functionalized CGO fluorescent sensor.By optimizing detection conditions,including the mass concentration of CGO,aptamer concentration,reaction temperature,and incubation time,quantita-tive analysis of the target analytes was achieved using the ratio of fluorescence intensity changes be-fore and after target addition.The stability of the sensor in biological matrices was evaluated by moni-toring fluorescence intensity changes over incubation time in blank blood and urine,in comparison with the traditional physical adsorption-based CGO fluorescent sensor.Spiked recovery experiments in blank blood and urine were conducted to compare performance with that of HPLC-MS/MS.Results A specific aptamer A5 was selected and chemically conjugated with CGO to construct the aptamer-functionalized CGO fluorescent sensor.Under optimized conditions,the proposed fluorescent sensor ex-hibited a linear detection range of 1.0-5.0 ng/mL for KET,with a limit of detection(LOD)of 0.86 ng/mL;while for NK,the linear detection range was 1.0-5.0 ng/mL,with an LOD of 0.70 ng/mL.Com-pared with the CGO fluorescent sensor constructed via physical adsorption,this sensor demonstrated greater stability in blood and urine.The spiked recovery rates of KET and NK in blank blood and urine ranged from 81.50%to 110.03%,exhibiting detection performance comparable to that of HPLC-MS/MS.Conclusion The aptamer screening method offers a novel approach for selecting aptamers tar-geting drugs and their metabolites.The constructed aptamer-functionalized CGO fluorescent sensor pro-vides an efficient and reliable strategy for the high-performance detection of KET and NK.

Objective To explore the relationship between miR-409-3p and miR-325-3p with the efficacy of inter-ventional therapy in patients with primary liver cancer.Methods Ninety-six patients with primary liver cancer who visited Nanyang Central Hospital from October 2021 to January 2024 were regarded as the liver cancer group.All patients underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)treatment and were separated into an effective group(complete remission,partial remission)and an ineffective group(disease stability,disease progression)based on the treatment effect.Totally 91 patients with liver cirrhosis who underwent treatment in our hospital during the same period were selected as liver cancer group and 98 healthy individuals who received physical examinations during the same period were selected as the healthy group.Serum miR-409-3p,miR-325-3p levels were detected and analyzed for their correlation.Logistic regression was applied to analyze the relevant factors affecting the effi-cacy of TACE treatment.Receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was applied to evaluate their predictive value for TACE treatment efficacy of serum miR-409-3p,miR-325-3p levels.Results Compared with the healthy group,the serum level of miR-409-3p and miR-325-3p in the liver cirrhosis group and liver cancer group were re-duced(P＜0.05).Compared with the liver cirrhosis group,the serum level of miR-409-3p and miR-325-3p in the liver cancer group were also reduced(P＜0.05).Compared with the effective group,the serum level of miR-409-3p and miR-325-3p in the ineffective group significantly decreased(P＜0.05).There was a positive correlation between serum level of miR-409-3p and of miR-325-3p in patients with primary liver cancer(r=0.472,P＜0.001).The elevated level of miR-409-3p and miR-325-3p were protective factors for ineffective TACE treat-ment in primary liver cancer patients(P＜0.05).The combination of serum miR-409-3p and miR-325-3p was su-perior to single prediction in predicting efficacy after TACE treatment in primary liver cancer patients(Zcombination-miR-409-3p=4.556,P＜0.001,Zcombination-miR-325-3p=2.613,P＜0.01).Conclusions The serum level of miR-409-3p as well as miR-325-3p is both reduced in patients with primary liver cancer,and is related to the effi-cacy of interventional therapy.

Objective To investigate the association between glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor(GLP-1R)gene polymorphism(rs2268641)and the incidence of diabetic nephropathy(DN)in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 490 T2DM patients with or without DN were included in this project.GLP-1R genetic polymorphisms were genotyped with TaqMan allelic discrimination.Results The C allele of rs2268641 was significantly associated with DN in T2DM patients.As compare to urinary albumin excretion rate(UAER)among genotypes,CC homozygote had a higher level of UAER than CT heterozygous(P＜0.01)and TT homozygote(P＜0.05)respectively.CC homozygote had a higher level of UAER than the carriers of the T allele(P＜0.05).Univariate logistic regression analysis showed that CC homozygote had higher odds for DN than CT het-erozygote(OR:1.715,95%CI=1.058-2.778,P＜0.05),even after adjustment for age,gender,family history,FBG and HbA1c(OR:1.781,95%CI=1.076-2.947,P＜0.05).Moreover,the CC homozygote had higher odds for DN than the carriers of the T allele before(OR:1.585,95%CI=1.013-2.481,P＜0.05)and after adjustment(OR:1.660,95%CI=1.040-2.650,P＜0.05).Conclusions GLP-1R gene variants,especially the C allele of rs2268641 increase the risk of DN in Chinese T2DM patients.

Objective To investigate the related mechanism which metformin inhibited the proliferation of HCT116 colorectal cancer cells via down-regulating the expression of up-frameshift protein 1(UPF1).Methods TCGA and UALCAN databases were utilized to analyze the expression level of UPF1,while Western blotting and Real-time PCR were performed to validate the differences of UPF1 expressions in colon cancer tissues and adjacent normal tissues.Clone formation assay,CCK-8 assay,wound healing assay and Transwell invasion assay were used to examine the effects of knockdown UPF1 on the proliferation,migration and invasion of HCT116 cells respectively.The HCT116 cell dataset with UPF1 knockdown was screened from GEO database for Kyoto Encydopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)pathway analysis,the expression level of differential genes that enriched in Hippo pathway were verified by Real-time PCR.The HCT116 cells were treated with metformin,Western blotting and Real-time PCR were employed to detect the UPF1 expression.Mendelian randomization analysis was performed to explore the causal association between metformin treatment and colorectal cancer.Results Analysis of TCGA and UALCAN databases showed that both UPF1 mRNA and protein were highly expressed in colon cancer tissues and the expression level of UPF1 was closely correlated with clinicopathologic stage and lymph node metastasis.Compared with adjacent normal tissues,the UPF1 protein and mRNA were highly expressed in colon cancer tissues.Knockdown UPF1 expression could inhibit the proliferation,migration and invasive ability of HCT116 cells.There were 8 differential genes affect the Hippo pathway by KEGG enrichment analysis,Real-time PCR experiments confirmed that CTNNB1,BMP4,TEAD2,PARD6G and FZD1 mRNA decreased in HCT116 cells with UPF1 knockdown.Both UPF1 protein and mRNA expressions decreased after metformin treatment in HCT116 cells.Mendelian randomization analysis showed a negative causal association between metformin treatment and colorectal cancer.Conclusion Knockdown of UPF1 expression inhibits the proliferation of HCT116 cells through regulating Hippo pathway.Metformin can reduce the UPF1 expression for further inhibiting the proliferation of colorectal cancer cells.

AIM To investigate the clinical effects of Cinobufosin Injection combined with RALOX-HAIC regimen on patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.METHODS Ninety-two patients were randomly assigned into control group(46 cases)for intervention of RALOX-HAIC regimen,and observation group(46 cases)for intervention of both Cinobufosin Injection and RALOX-HAIC regimen.The changes in short-term effects,survival situation,inflammatory indices(LCN2,NLRP3 inflammasome,NLR,PLR),immune indices(NK cells,CD8+T cells,IL-17,Th17/Treg)and incidence of toxic and side effects were detected.RESULTS Based on mRECIST,the observation group demonstrated higher disease control rate and objective remission rate than the control group(P＜0.05),along with lower disease progression(P＜0.05).After the treatment,the two groups displayed decreased inflammatory indices,IL-17,Th17/Treg(P＜0.05),and increased NK cells,CD8+T cells(P＜0.05),especially for the observation group(P＜0.05).The observation group exhibited lower incidence of abdominal pain,nausea,vomiting,diarrhea,leukopenia and thrombocytopenia than the control group(P＜0.05),and no significant differences in overall survival and incidence of other toxic and side effects were found between the two groups(P＞0.05).CONCLUSION For the patients with hepatocellular carcinoma,Cinobufosin Injection combined with RALOX-HAIC regimen can safely and effectively enhance body immune functions,and reduce in vivo immune indices.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of serum interleukin-6(IL-6)combined with Montreal Cognitive Assessment(MoCA)score and CHANGE risk score for post-stroke cognitive impairment(PSCI),and to provide a basis for early identification and intervention of high-risk patients.Methods:The general data of 200 patients with acute stroke who were admitted to our hospital from October 2022 to September 2024 were retrospectively analyzed,they were divided into PSCI group(49 cases)and non PSCI group(151 cases)based on whether PSCI occurred 3 months after acute stroke.The general data of two groups were compared,multiple logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of PSCI,and receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curves were used to evaluate predictive efficiency of serum IL-6,MoCA score and CHANGE risk score for of PSCI.Results:There was a statistically significant difference in age and education level between the two groups(P＜0.05).The serum IL-6 level and CHANGE risk score in the PSCI group were higher than those in the non PSCI group,while the MoCA score was lower than that in the non PSCI group(P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression showed that elevated IL-6 levels(OR=1.851,P=0.001)and elevated CHANGE risk scores(OR=1.076,P=0.016)were independent risk factors of the occurrence of PSCI,while elevated in MoCA score(OR=0.806,P=0.001)was a protective factor(P＜0.05).IL-6 levels,MoCA scores and CHANGE risk scores have high predictive efficiency for the occurrence of PSCI,the area under the curve(AUC)for predicting occurrence of PSCI by the three alone were 0.783,0.825 and 0.857 respectively,the AUC for the combined detection of the three indicators was 0.912,significantly higher than that of each indicator detected separately.Conclusion:Elevated serum IL-6,decreased MoCA score and increased CHANGE risk score are risk factors for PSCI,the combined detection model of the three has the highest predictive efficiency for occurrence of PSCI and can provide scientific basis for early clinical intervention.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of achyranthes bidentata(AB)on sperm quality in mice with sper-matogenic disorder through the glycolytic metabolic pathway and its action mechanism.Methods:We equally randomized 40 Kun-ming mice into a normal control,a model control,a low-dose AB(3.5 g/kg)and a high-dose AB group(7.0 g/kg),and established the model of spermatogenic disorder in the latter three groups of mice by intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin(30 mg/kg).Two days after modeling,we collected the testis and kidney tissues and blood samples from the mice for observation of the pathological changes in the testis tissue by HE staining,detection of perm motility with the sperm quality analyzer,examination of the apoptosis of testis cells by flow cytometry,measurement of the levels of testosterone(T),malondialdehyde(MDA),superoxide dismutase(SOD)and cata-lase(CAT)in the serum and testis tissue by ELISA,and determination of expressions of the key enzymes of glycolysis hexokinase Ⅱ(HK2),pyruvate kinase M2(PKM2),platelet phosphofructokinase(PFKP),lactate dehydrogenase A(LDHA)and the meiosis pro-teins REC8 and SCP3 by Western blot,and the mRNA expressions of glycolytic phosphofructokinase 1(PFK1),phosphoglycerate ki-nase 1(PGK1),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1 β(IL-1β)by fluorescence quantitative PCR(FQ-PCR).Results:Compared with the model controls,the mice in the AB groups showed significant increases in the testis coefficient,kidney in-dex,sperm concentration,sperm motility,spermatogonia,primary spermatocytes,spermatids,sperm count and the serum T level(P＜0.05 orP＜0.01),but dramatic decreases in the apoptosis of testis cells and percentage of morphologically abnormal sperm(P＜0.01).Achyranthes bidentata also significantly elevated the levels of SOD and CAT,and down-regulated the mRNA expressions of MDA,TNF-α and IL-1β(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01),and up-regulated the protein expressions of HK2,PKM2,PFKP,LDHA,REC8 and SCP3,and expressions of the glycolysis key genes Pfk1 and Pgk1(P＜0.05 orP＜0.01).Conclusion:Achyranthes bidentata ameliorates doxorubicin-induced spermatogenic disorder in mice by regulating the glycolytic pathway and reducing oxidative stress and the expressions of inflammatory factors.
