ObjectiveTo investigate the analgesic effect of Tuina at the "Weizhong （BL 40）" on neuropathic pain in a rat model of chronic constriction injury （CCI） of the sciatic nerve and its potential central spinal mechanisms. MethodsThirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups （8 rats in each group）， sham-operated group， model group， Tuina group， and blockade group. The CCI model was established in the model group， Tuina group， and the blockade group by ligating the sciatic nerve with catgut， while the sham-operated group underwent only sciatic nerve exposure without ligation. From postoperative day 4 to day 14， rats in the Tuina group and the blockade group received Tuina manipulation at the "Weizhong （BL 40）" using a dynamic pressure distribution measurement system （5 N pressure， 2 Hz frequency， 10 min per session， once daily）. The blockade group also received intraperitoneal injections of the microglial inhibitor minocycline （10 mg/kg） once daily. The sham-operated and the model group underwent the same handling and fixation as the Tuina group without actual Tuina. Mechanical withdrawal threshold （MWT） and paw withdrawal latency （PWL） were measured before surgery and on day 3， 7， 10， and 14 post-surgery. Transmission electron microscopy was used to evaluate sciatic nerve injury and repair， measuring axon diameter and total myelinated fiber diameter to calculate the g-ratio. Western Blotting was performed to detect the protein levels of ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 （Iba-1）， CD206， CD68， interleukin-10 （IL-10）， and β-endorphin （β-EP） precursor pro-opiomelanocortin （POMC） in the ipsilateral spinal dorsal horn. ResultsCompared with the sham-operated group， the model group showed significantly reduced MWT and PWL on day 3， 7， 10， and 14 （P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the Tuina group and the blockade group showed increased MWT and PWL on day 10 and 14 （P＜0.05）. Compared with the Tuina group， the blockade group exhibited higher MWT on day 7， 10， and 14， and higher PWL on day 10 （P＜0.05）. Sciatic nerve pathological morphology revealed intact and well-structured myelin in the sham-operated group， while the model group exhibited myelin collapse， distortion， and myelin ovoid formation. The Tuina group displayed partially irregular myelin with occasional myelin collapse， whereas the blockade group exhibited partial myelin irregularities and phospholipid shedding. Compared with the sham-operated group， the model group showed a decreased g-ratio and increased levels of Iba-1 and CD68 in the spinal dorsal horn （P＜0.05 or P＜0.01）. Compared with the model group， the Tuina group and the blockade group exhibited an increased g-ratio and reduced Iba-1 and CD68 levels. Additionally， the Tuina group showed elevated levels of CD206， IL-10， and POMC， whereas the blockade group had decreased CD206 levels （P＜0.05）. ConclusionTuina at "Weizhong （BL 40）" alleviates neuropathic pain in CCI rats， potentially by regulating microglial activation in the spinal cord， inhibiting M1 polarization while promoting M2 polarization， and activating the IL-10/β-EP pathway to exert analgesic effects.

Among the current curricula of medical teaching in China, most courses focus on the integrated teaching of a single organ-system combination, while there are relatively a few integrated courses that focus on the multiple dimensions between different organs and systems and between medical sciences and social sciences. In 2016, Chongqing Medical University started to cooperate with University of Leicester to establish the clinical medicine major and introduced the course of Integration for Clinical Application (ICA) that had been run well in University of Leicester for years. With reference to the education goal of our university, the curriculum group adopted a series of actions for the localization of this course from the aspects of teaching objectives, contents, teaching model, education resources, and quality of faculty. After the completion of the first round of this course, the passing rate reached 86.96%(100/115) in the quantified evaluation of accomplishment, which was higher than the passing rate of other courses introduced from University of Leicester. The quantitative expert assessment of this course also ranked among the top courses in our university, and student assessment showed that the ability indicators were improved by 25.00%- 38.00%. The above data show that good results have been achieved for the curriculum localization of ICA.

Objective To compare therapeutic efficacy of anticoagulation alone and combining with intervention for treating severe cerebral venous thrombosis(CVT).Methods Data of 65 severe CVT patients were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were divided into anticoagulation group(n=32)or combined group(n=33)according to therapeutic methods.The modified Rankin scale(mRS)score at admission and discharge,the prognosis of patients,vascular recanalization rate as well as incidence of complications during follow-up period were compared between groups.Results No significant difference of mRS scores at admission was found between groups(P＞0.05),while mRS scores of combined group were lower than of anticoagulation group at discharge(P＜0.05).The rate of good prognosis at discharge(84.85%vs.59.38%),6 months after discharge(87.88%vs.65.63%)and 12 months after discharge(93.94%vs.75.00%)in combined group were all higher than those in anticoagulation group(all P＜0.05).The vascular recanalization rate in combined group was higher than that in anticoagulant group(100%vs.75.00%,P＜0.05).At the end of follow-up,no significant difference of complication incidence was found between groups(15.15%vs.18.75%,P＞0.05).Conclusion For patients with severe CVT,anticoagulation combined with interventional therapy could significantly alleviate clinical symptoms and improve prognosis compared with anticoagulation alone.

Objective To observe the value of stent implantation for treating idiopathic intracranial hypertension(IIH)complicated with venous sinus stenosis(VSS).Methods Data of 54 patients with IIH complicated with VSS who underwent stent implantation were retrospectively analyzed.The papillary edema grade,lumbar puncture-opening pressure(LP-OP)and trans-stenotic pressure gradient of venous sinus(ΔP)before and after stent implantation were compared,and the symptom improvement and treatment-related complications during the follow-up period were recorded.Results Totally 60 stents were successfully implanted in 54 patients.Before stent implantation,the papillary edema grade was 3(3,3),LP-OP was(391.39±92.62)mmH2O and the ΔP was 18.50(15.00,25.00)mmHg,which decreased to 1(0,1),(208.80±62.31)mmH2O and 1.25(0.88,2.55)mmHg after stent implantation,respectively,all with significant differences(all P＜0.001).Clinical symptoms improved after stent implantation in all 54 patients.At the end of follow-up,disappearance of headache,papillary edema,visual disorder,abducent nerve paralysis and tinnitus were noticed in 30(30/37,81.08%),38(38/45,84.44%),41(41/45,91.11%),8(8/10,80.00%)and 9 cases(9/10,90.00%),respectively.Treatment-related complications occurred in 4 cases(4/54,7.41%),all improved after intervention.Conclusion Stent implantation was effective and safe for treating IIH complicated with VSS.

Objective To analyze the clinical characteristics and related to risk factors of late-life depression patients with venous thromboembolism in the elderly ward.Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 143 hospitalized depression patients(aged≥60 years)including 65 depression patients with VTE(VTE group)and 78 depression patients without VTE(control group)in the elderly ward of Beijing Anding Hospital from January 2023 to September 2023.The clinic and laboratory data was collected such as general demographic information,relevant clinical data,VTE history,personal history,thyroid function,hormone levels,blood lipid levels and D-dimer to analyze and compare the clinical characteristics of two group patients,and Logistic regression was used to analyze the related risk factors of VTE in patients with depression.Results Compared with control group,patients in the VTE group were older[(70.94±5.88)years vs.(68.04±4.92)years,P<0.05],had a higher total HAMD score(26.35±9.28 vs.23.19±5.94,P<0.05),a higher proportion of a history of VTE[13 cases(20.0%)vs.6 cases(7.7%),P<0.05],a higher proportion of bedridden for more than 72 hours[42 cases(64.6%)vs.31 cases(39.7%),P<0.05],lower HDL-C levels[(1.27±0.27)mmol/L vs.(1.39±0.28)mmol/L,P<0.05],and higher levels of D-dimer[1.91(0.82,3.51)mg/L FEU vs.0.48(0.25,0.80)mg/L FEU,P<0.05].Logistic regression analysis showed that total HAMD scores(OR=1.077,P=0.018),history of VTE(OR=4.339,P=0.023),bedridden for more than 72 hours(OR=2.449,P=0.044),and D-dimer level(OR=2.404,P<0.001)were risk factors for hospitalized late-life depression patients with VTE in the elderly ward.Conclusions Depression patients with VTE in the elderly ward have several clinical characteristics including older age,more severe depressive symptoms,lower HDL-C levels,higher D-dimer levels,and higher proportion of a history of VTE and bedridden for more than 72 hours.Depressive symptoms,a history of VTE,bedridden for more than 72 hours,and D-dimer levels may be risk factors for late-life depression patients with VTE in the elderly ward.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of single center adult chronic myeloid leukemia in chronic phase(CML-CP).Methods:Clinical data of 41 adult CML-CP patients in Department of Hematology,Shanghai Fengxian District Central Hospital from January 2015 to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical characteristics and prognosis of patients between＜60 years group and ≥ 60 years group were compared.Results:The 41 patients included 27(65.9％)males and 14(34.1％)females.The median age of the patients was 56(19-84)years,with 22 cases(53.7％)＜60 years and 19 cases(46.3％)≥60 years.Univariate analysis indicated that the proportions of patients with comorbidities,intermediate/high-risk Sokal score,myelofibrosis,and lactate dehydrogenase ≥1 000 U/L were significantly increased in ≥60 years group compared with＜60 years group at initial diagnosis(all P＜0.05).There were no statistical differences in the distribution of sex,ELST score,white blood cell count,platelet count,peripheral blood basophil percentage,peripheral blood eosinophil percentage and bone marrow primitive cell percentage between the two groups(P＞0.05).The proportion of patients taking reduced-dose imatinib in≥60 years group significantly increased(P＜0.001).Patients＜60 years had a higher proportion of molecular biological remission after treatment of tyrosine kinase inhibitors(TKIs)than patients ≥ 60 years(P＜0.001).The incidence of non-hematologic adverse reactions to TKI therapy significantly increased in patients ≥ 60 years(P＜0.001).Multivariate analysis showed that no adverse factors affecting the efficacy and prognosis of TKI.Conclusion:Compared with adult CML-CP patients＜60 years,patients ≥ 60 years gain fewer benefits from TKI treatment and increased adverse reactions.

Objective:To investigate the effect of genetic polymorphism of MTHFR C677T (rs1801133) on methotrexate (MTX) related toxicity in pediatric mature B-cell lymphoma patients. Methods:Fifty-eight intermediate and high risk patients under 18 years of age with mature B-cell lymphoma who received 5 g/m2 MTX (24 h intravenous infusion) in Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from August 2014 to December 2021 were included,and their toxicity of high-dose MTX (HD-MTX) were monitored and analyzed. Results:Among the 58 pediatric patients,the number of CC,CT,and TT genotypes for MTHFR C677T was 33,19 and 6,respectively. A total of 101 courses of HD-MTX therapy were counted,of which plasma MTX level>0.2 μmol/L at 48 h post-MTX infusion were observed in 35 courses,≤0.2 μmol/L in 66 courses. Inter-group comparison showed that plasma MTX level>0.2 μmol/L at 48 h post-MTX infusion increased the risk of developing oral mucositis (P<0.05). Compared with wild-type (CC genotype),patients in the mutant group (CT+TT genotype) were more likely to develop myelosuppression,manifested as anemia,leucopenia,neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. However,plasma MTX level at 48 h was not associated with MTHFR C677T gene polymorphism. Conclusion:The risk of developing oral mucositis in children with mature B-cell lymphoma is associated with plasma MTX concentration. Polymorphism of MTHFR C677T gene is not related to plasma MTX concentration in children with mature B-cell lymphoma,but is related to grade Ⅲ to Ⅳ hematological toxicity.
