Objective To explore the correlation between traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)syndromes of chronic gastritis and the indicators of five circuits and six qi,revealing the influence of different congenital qi endowments on TCM syndrome differentiation and providing evidence for individualized treatment.Methods Medical records meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria were collected from the Hospital Information System(HIS)of Rui Bao Street Community Health Service Center in Haizhu District,Guangzhou between January 20,2017 and January 20,2023.Data included age,birth date,and syndrome differentiation.Yearly circuit(Suiyun),celestial control-terrestrial effect(Sitian-Zaiqian)qi,three patterns of five circuits(Wuyun-Sanji),and syndrome patterns were statistically analyzed using Excel for database construction,with SPSS 23.0 for x2 tests and Logistic regression.Results(1)Among 1 882 chronic gastritis patients,spleen-stomach weakness(25.3％,477/1 882)was the most prevalent syndrome,followed by liver-stomach disharmony type,damp-heat in the spleen-stomach type,stomach-yin deficiency type,and stasis obstruction of stomach collateral type(x2=69.950,P=0.000).(2)Significant differences existed in Suiyun(Taijiao,Taigong,Taiyu,Taizhi,Shaogong,Taishang),Sitian-Zaiqian(Shaoyin-Yangming,Taiyin-Taiyang,Yangming-Shaoyin,Taiyang-Taiyin),and Wuyun-Sanji(excessive/insufficient earth/metal/water circuit)distributions among syndromes(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(3)For Suiyun-syndrome relationships:Birth in Taijiao/Shaogong years was the high-risk factor for developing chronic gastritis of liver-stomach disharmony type(P＜0.01);Taishang years were associated with stomach yin deficiency type(P＜0.05);Taijiao/Shaogong/Taiyu years were protective against damp-heat in the spleen-stomach type(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).(4)For Sitian-Zaiqian-syndrome relationships:Jueyin-Shaoyang/Yangming-Shaoyin years linked to spleen-stomach weakness type(P＜0.05);Shaoyang-Jueyin years were correlated with damp-heat in the spleen-stomach type(P＜0.05).(5)For Wuyun-Sanji-syndrome relationships:Insufficient earth/water circuit years were associated with liver-stomach disharmony type(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);excessive/balanced metal circuit years linked to stomach yin deficiency type(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01);insufficient metal circuit years were correlated with damp-heat in the spleen-stomach type(P＜0.05).Conclusion TCM syndromes of chronic gastritis are influenced by environment-body interactions,disordered visceral function and yin-yang imbalance.Clinical treatment should integrate the varied indicators of five circuits and six qi variations for personalized regimens to improve symptoms and quality of life.

OBJECTIVE To explore the possible molecular mechanism through which amygdala cell adhesion molecule-1(CADM1)is involved in acute sleep deprivation-induced anxiety.METHODS Sixteen 8-week-old C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the control group and para-chlorophe-nylalanine(PCPA)-induced acute sleep deprivation experimental group.The PCPA mice were intraperi-toneally injected with PCPA suspension(at a dose of 300 mg?kg-1)between 8∶00 and 9∶00 am for 2 consecutive days while the control mice were injected with the same dose of normal saline.The sleep latency and sleep duration of mice were detected via the righting reflex test.Anxiety-like behaviors were detected by the open field test and elevated plus maze test.The expression level of CADM1 in the mouse amygdala was detected by Western Blot and Immunofluorescence staining.The GeneNet-work database was used to analyze the association between Cadm1 genes and other genes in the mouse amygdala.The key candidate regulatory genes were screened,and the Cadm1-anxiety behavior phenotype network was constructed.The mRNA expression levels of the key candidate regulatory genes were analyzed via qPCR analysis.RESULTS Compared with the control mice,the sleep latency of PCPA mice was significantly prolonged(P<0.01)while the sleep duration was significantly shortened(P<0.01).The activity time and distance of PCPA mice in the open field center were significantly shorter than those of the control group(P<0.05).The elevated plus maze experiment showed that the percentage of the number of times PCPA mice entered the open arm and the percentage of residence time in the open arm were significantly lower than those of the control group(P<0.05).Western Blot and immuno-fluorescence staining showed that the expression of CADM1 protein in the amygdala from PCPA mice was down-regulated compared with the control mice(P<0.05).Based on gene-behavioral association network analysis,Cadm1 was significantly associated with 25 anxiety-like behavior-related genes.The enrichment analysis of Cadm1 co-expression genes showed that Cadm1 was associated with γ-amino-butyric acid GABAergic synaptic pathway(P=4.31e-09),and that the key genes were huntingtin associ-ated protein 1(Hap1)(r=0.705,P=1.09e-08)、inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor type 1(Itpr1)(r=-0.751,P=3.34e-10)、gamma-aminobutyric acid type A receptor subunit delta(Gabrd)(r=-0.836,P=3.93e-14)、γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor β1 subunit gene(Gabrb1)(r=0.732,P=1.50e-09)and adrenoceptor alpha 2A(Adra2a)(r=0.759,P=1.73e-10).The results of qPCR analysis showed that the mRNA levels of Hap1(P<0.05)、Gabrb1 and Adra2a were significantly up-regulated(P<0.01)while those of Itpr1 and Gabrd were significantly down-regulated(P<0.01).CONCLUSION Acute sleep deprivation leads to down-regulation of Cadm1 expression in the amygdala,and induces anxiety-like behaviors by affecting the expression of GABAergic synaptic signaling pathways Hap1,Gabrb1,Adra2a,Itpr1 and Gabrd.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between smoking behavior and related factors among the adult residents in Fengxian District,so as to provide an evidence for carrying out tobacco control and other health promotion work. MethodsA multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method was used to select 2 272 community residents aged between 15 and 69 yeas to carry out the questionnaire survey. ResultsIn 2020, the smoking rate of adult residents in Fengxian District was 23.50%. Smoking behavior was statistically correlated with age, gender, household registration, chronic disease, occupation and educational level. Smoking behavior was inversely correlated with educational level. Smoking rate of male residents was significantly higher than that of female residents, smoking rate of residents with chronic diseases was significantly higher than that of those without suffering from chronic diseases, and smoking rate of permanent registered residents was significantly higher than that of those non-locals. The highest smoking prevalence was among retired and freelancers, followed by staff of government agencies and public institutes, while the lowest was among students, followed by intellectuals. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that gender, age and education level were the main factors affecting the smoking prevalence level. ConclusionThe general　smoking rate of adult residents in Fengxian District was higher than the average level in Shanghai but lower than the national level. Male residents aged ≥25 years and with lower education level are the key invention targets for tobacco control.

【Objective】 To confirm the role of Wnt signaling pathway in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer （GC）， establish a prognostic model composed of Wnt pathway related genes， and then evaluate the predictive value of the model. 【Methods】 We downloaded the gene expression data and survival data of GC in TCGA database， and used GSEA enrichment analysis to verify the enrichment of Wnt pathway in GC and para-cancer samples. In this study， univariable COX regression analysis and survival curve analysis were used to select the prognosis-related genes of GC. Then the multivariate COX proportional hazard regression model was used to obtain the prognostic model of Wnt signaling pathway related genes. Then， receiver operating characteristic （ROC） curve and forest plot were used to verify the clinical predictive value of the model. The model was then validated in GEO external database. Finally， by utilizing quantitative real-time PCR （qPCR）， we detected the expressions of Wnt signaling pathway related genes in 8 pairs of clinical GC and para-cancer samples. 【Results】 We downloaded 32 samples of normal para-cancer samples and 375 cancer samples and their corresponding clinical data. GSEA enrichment showed that compared with normal samples， Wnt pathway was significantly enriched in GC samples （P<0.05）. The results of univariate COX analysis showed that 13 Wnt pathway genes were closely related to the prognosis of GC patients. Multivariate COX determined that the model was multiplied and accumulated by ETV2， SERPINE1， CPZ， VPS35 and IGFBP1 and their corresponding coefficient β. The survival curve and ROC curve showed that the model could accurately predict the prognosis of GC patients， and the 1-year， 3-year， and 5-year areas under the curve （AUC） were 68.0%， 69.4% and 78.5%， respectively. Clinical univariate and multivariate COX analyses showed that the model could become an independent prognostic factor other than TNM system of GC. The external data set （GSE84437） validation results of GC showed that the model could better predict the prognosis of GC patients. qPCR results indicated that ETV2， SERPINE1， CPZ， VPS35 and IGFBP1 expressions were upregulated in GC samples compared with para-cancer samples. 【Conclusion】 This study further confirmed that Wnt pathway plays an important role in the progress of GC from the perspective of bioinformatics， and we have established a prognosis-related risk model， providing a new perspective for clinical genetic testing， targeted therapy and individualized therapy.

Objective To compare and analyze the etiology,clinical manifestations and imaging differences of bilateral pontine infarction (BPI) and unilateral pontine infarction (UPI),and investigate the possible independent risk factors for BPI.Methods Consecutive patients with pontine infarction admitted to the Department of Neurology,the First People's Hospital of Kunshan from January 2015 to December 2017 were enrolled retrospectively.They were divided into BPI group and UPI group.The risk factors,laboratory findings,National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores,clinical manifestations,and basilar artery lesions were compared between the two groups.Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independent risk factors for BPI relative to UPI.Results A total of 131 patients with pontine infarction were enrolled,aged 66.22 ± 12.29 years,97 patients (72.52％) were male;14 (10.69％) were BPI,and 117 (89.31％) were UPI.In terms of clinical symptoms,consciousness disorder (35.71％ vs.6.83％;x2 =8.657,P =0.003),quadriplegia (50.00％ vs.5.12％;x2 =30.202,P ＜ 0.001),and dysphagia (71.42％ vs.29.91％;x2 =7.804,P =0.005) in the BPI group were more common than those in the UPI group.In terms of etiological classification,vertebrobasilar large artery disease (VLAD) was more common in the BPI group (85.71％ vs.27.35％;x2 =16.567,P ＜ 0.001),while small artery disease (SAD) was more common in the UPI group (49.57％ vs.7.14％;x2 =7.460,P =0.006).In addition,the baseline NIHSS scores (12.43 ±11.1 vs.3.78 ±3.98;t=2.873,P=0.013),white blood cell count ([9.21±2.81] ×109/L vs.[6.92± 2.40] ×109/L;t=3.191,P=0.002),baseline systolic blood pressure (170.57 ±31.21 mmHg vs.156.75 ±23.50 mmHg,1 mmHg =0.133 kPa;t =2.004,P =0.047),as well as the proportion of patients with severe stenosis or occlusion in basilar artery (78.57％ vs.8.55％;x2 =40.49,P ＜ 0.001) and with other site infarction (78.57 ％ vs.11.11％;x2 =33.652,P ＜ 0.001) in the BPI group were significantly higher than those in the UPI group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that severe basilar artery stenosis or occlusion (odds ratio [OR] 20.195,95％ confidence interval [CI]2.308-176.703;P =0.007),baseline NIHSS score (OR 1.147,95％ CI 1.019-1.292;P =0.023),and infarction at other sites (OR 19.483,95％ CI 2.969-127.868;P =0.002) were independently associated with BPI.Conclusion Compared with UPI,patients with BPI had more severe clinical symptoms and most of them with other site infarction.Severe stenosis or occlusion of the basilar artery was an independent risk factor for BPI.

ObjectiveTo investigate clinical features and outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients with remote symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICHr) after intravenous thrombolysis.MethodsThe acute ischemic stroke patients with sICHr after intravenous thrombolysis therapy were enrolled retrospectively.The clinical data were collected and the related literature was analyzed and summarized.ResultsA total of 6 acute ischemic stroke patients with sICHr were enrolled, including 4 males.Three patients had a history of using antiplatelet agents, 2 with atrial fibrillation, 4 with hypertension, 3 with previous stroke history, 4 with smoking history, and 4 had sICHr at 2 h after intravenous thrombolysis.Of the 14 hemorrhagic foci (except in the infarct areas), 10 were in the cerebral cortex.Three patients died within 1 week, and 1 was in a persistent vegetative state.Conclusions SICHr after intravenous thrombolysis in patients with acute ischemic stroke is mainly located in the cerebral cortex.The outcomes in acute ischemic stroke patients with SICHr after intravenous thrombolysis are poor, and the mortality is high.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ziprasidone mesylate injection on the acute agitation symptom in mental retardation. Methods The total of 80 patients of mental retardation with acute agitation symptoms were randomly divided into two groups:the treatment group (40 patients) were intra-muscarly given with ziprasidone mesylate injection at the initial dose of 10 mg, 20 mg 4 h later, and 30 mg once on the second day and third day. And the control group (40 patients) were treated with haloperidol injection. The volume dose of haloperidol was 20 mg everyday. Other antipsychotic drugs, antimanic drugs and benzodiazepines were not allowed to be used during the observation, neither does the prophylactic use of drugs against parkinson's disease. Before and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 h after treatment, the positive and negative scale ( PANSS) reduction rate, the end of the clinical global impression scale ( CGI) were assessed. By the end of the treatment, the adverse reactions symptom, cale ( TESS) was assessed for the safety. Results By the end of treatment PANSS reduction rate was 46. 31% in the test group and 48. 81% in the control group, the clinical improvement rate was 80. 00% in the treatment group and 82. 50% in the control group. No statistically significant difference on efficacy was found between two groups. The side reaction rate in the treatment group was 27. 5%, that in the control group was 40. 0%, there was significant difference ( P<0. 05) between two groups, but the extrapyramidal reaction in the control group was significantly more than that in the treatment group(P<0. 05). Conclusion Ziprasidone mesylate injection is effective on treating the symptoms of mental retardation, in corresponding to the effect of haloperidol injection,and with less extrapyramidal reactions.
