Objective To explore the effect of occupational skills relearning programme on hemiplegic arm motor function and ac-tivities of daily living(ADL)in stroke patients. Methods From February,2022 to August,2023,74 stroke patients in Guangdong Work Injury Rehabilitation Hospital were enrolled and randomly divided into control group(n=37)and experimental group(n=37).The control group received conventional rehabilitation training,and the experimental group received additional occupational skills relearning programme,for three weeks.They were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Assessment-Upper Extremi-ties(FMA-UE),Functional Test for the Hemiplegic Upper Extremity-Hong Kong(FTHUE-HK),Motor Activity Log(MAL)-amount of use(AOU)and MAL-quality of movement(QOM),modified Barthel Index(MBI),and Stroke Impact Scale(SIS)-Hand and SIS-ADL before and after treatment. Results The scores in all assessments improved significantly in both groups(|t|>3.597,P<0.05)after treatment,while the scores of FMA-UE,FTHUE-HK,MAL-AOU,MAL-QOM were higher in the experimental group than in the control group(|t|>2.352,P<0.05). Conclusion Occupational skills relearning programme could promote the recovery of hemiplegic arm motor and activity,and facilitate the use of the hemiplegic arm in daily life in stroke patients.

Objective:To compare the performance of 11 glomerular filtration rate(GFR)equations in Chinese elderly hospitalized patients using dynamic renal imaging as the reference standard.Methods:The retrospective study involved patients aged 60 years and older who were admitted to Beijing Hospital between January, 2017, and January 2020.Glomerular filtration rate(GFR)was assessed through dynamic renal imaging for all participants.Estimated GFR(eGFR)was calculated using various equations based on serum creatinine and/or cystatin C levels, including All Age Spectrum(FAS), Berlin Initiative Study(BIS), Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration(CKD-EPI), Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study(MDRD), MDRD in China(MDRDc), and Xiangya..Results:A total of 691 patients, of which 383 were males, with an age range of 60 to 90 years(mean age 71.9±7.7 years), were included in the study.Among the different equations used to estimate glomerular filtration rate(GFR)in ml·min -1·1.73m -2, the smallest deviations were observed with FAScys(2.48), FAScr-cys(3.07), CKD-EPIcys(4.20), and BIScr-cys(7.42).Conversely, the most accurate estimations were found with BIScr-cys(10.38), FAScr-cys(11.94), FAScys(12.08), CKD-EPIcr-cys(13.21), and CKD-EPIcys(13.51).The highest P30 values, indicating the proportion of estimates within 30% of the true GFR, were achieved by FAScr-cys(68.97%), FAScys(68.96%), CKD-EPIcys(63.22%), and BIScr-cys(61.67%).The equations with the lowest root mean square errors were BIScr-cys(9.73), CKD-EPIcr-cys(10.98), FAScr-cys(11.27), CKD-EPIcys(11.52), and FAScys(11.53).Specifically, the FAS equation showed higher accuracy in men, while BIScr-cys and CKD-EPIcys were more accurate in women.Among patients with chronic kidney disease(CKD), the P30 values for BIScr-cys, FAScys, and FAScr-cys were 86.96%, 83.33%, and 80.95% respectively.Notably, for patients with mGFR ≥ 30 ml/min, MDRDc overestimated GFR the most, whereas for patients with mGFR<30 ml/min, Xiangya exhibited the most significant overestimation of GFR. Conclusions:Among the equations tested, BIScr-cys, FAScys, and FAScr-cys demonstrated the highest accuracy and are therefore recommended for use in Chinese elderly hospitalized patients.

A retrospective analysis was performed on one case of adult-onset type Ⅱcitrullinemia(CTLN2)caused by homozygous mutations of SLC25A13 genes.The patient,a 28-year-old male,had repeated limb convulsions for more than 4 years and worsened for 2 months.He usually liked to eat peanuts and meat.The brain MRI examination showed no abnormality,and anti-epileptic treatment was not effective.Further examination of blood aminotransferase,blood ammonia and citrulline were elevated,genetic testing showed that the SLC25A13 gene c.851_854del homozygous pathogenic mutation,the diagnosis was CTLN2,and the treatment was treated with a high-protein,high-fat,low-sugar diet and arginine,and there were no seizures followed up for half a year.Patients with recurrent seizures with special dietary preferences should be paid attention to the possibility of CTLN2,and genetic testing plays an important role in the diagnosis of CTLN2 and provides a basis for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

【Objective】 To explore B lymphocytes’ role and mechanisms in angiotensinⅡ/phenylephrine (AngⅡ/PE) induced cardiomyopathy so as to understand the role of inflammatory cells in myocardial injury. 【Methods】 AngⅡ/PE was administered to wild-type (WT) and B cells deficiency (μMT) mice for 14 days or 28 days. The mice were analyzed by blood pressure measurement, echocardiography imaging, flow cytometry, and histology. Cardiac fibrosis was evaluated by Masson staining. 【Results】 Compared with the control group, the left ventricular mass (P<0.01), heart mass/tibia length ratio (P<0.01) and cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes in AngⅡ/PE group were significantly increased (P<0.01). After 2 weeks of AngⅡ/PE treatment, B lymphocytes (P<0.05), CD45⁺ leukocytes (P<0.05), CD64^-Ly6C⁺ monocytes (P<0.05), CD64⁺Ly6C^-macrophages (P<0.05) and Ly6g⁺ neutrophils (P<0.05) were recruited in myocardial tissue. Compared with WT_AngⅡ/PE group, the heart weight/tibia length ratio (P<0.05), left ventricular weight (P<0.05) and myocardial cell cross-sectional area (P<0.05) of μMT_AngⅡ/PE mice were significantly improved. CD45⁺Ly6C⁺CD64^- monocytes (P<0.05) and CD45⁺Ly6C^-CD64⁺ macrophages (P<0.05) were significantly decreased. 【Conclusion】 B lymphocytes deficiency improves AngⅡ/PE induced cardiac hypertrophy by reducing the infiltration of CD45⁺Ly6C⁺CD64^- monocytes and CD45⁺Ly6C^- CD64⁺ macrophages.

Objective:To explore the structural alterations in functional brain areas of patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) using voxel-based morphometry (VBM), and to investigate the abnormal region of grey matter and its distribution in DPN.Methods:A total of 124 patients with DPN and 88 patients with type 2 diabetes without DPN (NDPN) diagnosed in Haikou Hospital and the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangdong Pharmaceutical University from June 2019 to December 2020 were selected as the study subjects, and 40 healthy volunteers matched with gender and age were included as the control group.All subjects underwent whole-brain MRI examination, and 3D-T1WI data were collected for post-processing and analysis based on voxel morphological analysis.Results:Compared with NDPN patients, decreased gray matter volume in DPN patients was observed in the bilateral anterior central gyrus and thalamus, with statistical signifcant difference ( P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between the two sides ( P>0.05). Compared with healthy control group, decreased gray matter volume in DPN was observed in the the bilateral anterior central gyrus, central posterior gyrus, superior frontal gyrus and thalamus, with statistical signifcant difference ( P<0.05) and there was no significant difference between the two sides ( P>0.05). Conclusions:DPN patients also have decreased volumes of the brain greymatter, suggesting that the occorrence of DPN patients may be caused by the of injury of central structure.
