Objective:To summarize the clinical features, electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetoencephalogram (MEG) of patients with pure paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) and PKD with epilepsy, so as to better distinguish them and guide the treatments.Methods:The clinical data of 200 patients diagnosed with PKD in the Outpatient Department of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from 2000 to 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into 2 groups: pure PKD (174 cases) and PKD with epilepsy (26 cases) according to whether accompanied by epilepsy. The differences in clinical features, drug therapy, EEG and MEG were compared between the 2 groups.Results:The clinical features of the 2 groups were essentially similar, and the proportion of PKD dyskinesia induced by emotional stress in the pure PKD group (54/174, 31.03%) was higher than that in the PKD with epilepsy group (2/26, 7.69%; χ 2=5.010, P=0.025). In terms of pharmacological response, carbamazepine was the most commonly used medication in both groups, but patients with PKD with epilepsy may need a higher therapeutic dosages (0.2-0.4 g/d, and gradually increased to 0.8 g/d) to effectively manage both dyskinesia and seizures. Regarding the EEG and MEG, the proportion of EEG abnormalities was higher in PKD patients with epilepsy, mainly manifested as focal spikes [1/70(1.43%) vs 9/21(42.86%), χ 2=24.268, P<0.001], together with aberrant MEG discharge (4/18 vs 3/5, χ 2=1.155, P=0.282). The MEG dipoles were mainly distributed in the brain regions close to the frontal lobe and central region. Conclusions:The clinical manifestations of motor symptoms of pure PKD and PKD with epilepsy are similar, and carbamazepine remains the most effective treatment. PKD patients with epilepsy have a higher proportion of abnormal EEG, mainly manifested as focal spikes, and are more likely to show abnormal discharge of MEG, which could be used to distinguish them.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and mechanism of Yiqi Wenyang Huwei decoction (YWHD) on airway inflammation in bronchial asthma (BA) rats based on transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)/SMAD family member 3 (Smad3) signaling pathway. MethodSixty male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a model group, a dexamethasone (DEX) group, and low-, medium-, and high-dose YWHD groups, with 10 rats in each group. The BA model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 1 mL of ovalbumin (OVA)-aluminum hydroxide suspension for sensitization, followed by nebulization with 2% OVA. One hour before daily OVA nebulization, the control group was treated with saline, the DEX group with DEX solution at 0.2 g·L-1, and the low-, medium-, and high-dose YWHD groups with YWHD at 1, 2, 4 g·mL-1, respectively. General conditions and lung function were observed. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and serum were collected to count inflammatory cells in BALF and measure immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels in serum and inflammatory cytokines in BALF using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Pathological changes in lung tissues, collagen deposition, and airway mucus secretion were observed by hematoxylin-eosin (HE), Masson, and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining. TGF-β1/Smad3-related mRNA and protein levels in lung tissues were determined by Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain translation (Real-time PCR) and Western blot analysis. ResultCompared with the normal group, the model group showed increased total airway resistance (RL) and decreased dynamic compliance (Cdyn) (P<0.05, P<0.01), elevated serum IgE levels, increased inflammatory cell counts, and higher inflammatory cytokine levels in BALF (P<0.01). Additionally, there was significant inflammatory cell infiltration, collagen deposition, and mucus secretion in lung tissues. The levels of TGF-β1, α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), and Smad3 phosphorylation in lung tissues were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the DEX group and high-dose YWHD group exhibited significantly reduced RL (P<0.01), improved lung dynamic compliance (P<0.05), and lower serum IgE levels, inflammatory cell counts, and inflammatory cytokine levels in BALF (P<0.05). Moreover, these treatments alleviated pathological damage in lung tissues and reduced the levels of TGF-β1, α-SMA, and Smad3 phosphorylation (P<0.01). ConclusionYWHD reduces airway inflammation, improves pathological damage, and mitigates airway remodeling in bronchial asthma rats, possibly by downregulating TGF-β1, α-SMA protein levels, and Smad3 phosphorylation.

Medicine is the subject of studying human and its inherent humanistic attribute endows medicine with the temperature it deserves. However, with the continuous improvement of medical testing technology and treatment technology, medical workers pay more attention to diseases and ignore humanistic care, which has become an important factor in the aggravation of patients’ burden and the tension relationship between doctors and patients. There are many virtues in Chinese traditional culture. Sun Simiao’s medical ethics thought of "great doctor with professionalism and sincerity" embodies the core value of the humanistic spirit of Chinese traditional medicine. In his medical ethics thought, the moral and ethics of "great doctor with professionalism and sincerity", the medical practice attitude of "being cautious and diligent", the values of "benevolence for the world" and the professional conduct of "honesty and truth" still have strong practical significance at present. It is the good material to cultivate the humanistic spirit of medical students. This is of great value to integrate Sun Simiao’s medical ethics thought into cultivate medical students with both "professionalism" and "sincerity", practice the original intention of medical and health undertakings, and carry forward cultural self-confidence.

At present, all countries and regions providing palliative care service regard living wills and similar documents expressing personal wishes as the legal premise for carrying out this medical service. Defining the population receiving palliative care involves not only ethics or professional skills, but also constant revisions and changes with the development of economy and civilization. Meanwhile, the concept and promotion methods of living wills have also undergone rounds of updates. The nature of hospice and palliative care is respect for individuals, and it is the product of re-understanding the nature of life in the era of technological expansion. As a social organization promoting the concept of living will and death with dignity, we earnestly and confidently expect that hospice and palliative care become a basic right enjoyed by everyone in the near future.
