Objective:Migraine and tremor share some genetic mutation sites,and clinical studies have also confirmed their correlation.This study aims to explore the clinical and electrophysiological characteristics of migraine patients with concomitant tremor,and to analyze the relevant influential factors of tremor occurrence. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 217 migraine patients who visited the Third Affiliated Hospital of Qiqihar Medical University from June 2022 to October 2023.The Clinical Rating Scale for Tremor(CRST),Numerical Rating Scale(NRS),Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7(GAD-7),and Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9)were respectively used to assess the tremor symptoms,degree of headache,anxiety,and depression of patients.All patients underwent routine head MR scanning and electromyography examination,and were divided into a migraine with tremor group and a migraine without tremor group based on the electromyogram examination. Results:The migraine with tremor group and the migraine without tremor group were included 52 patients(23.96%)and 165 patients(76.04%),respectively.Compared with the migraine without tremor group,the migraine with tremor group had a longer course and duration of headache,higher frequency of headache attacks,higher NRS score,GAD-7 score,and PHQ-9 score,and fewer weekly physical exercises.The differences were statistically significant(all P<0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in the presence or absence of prodromal headache and white matter hyperintensities(WMHs)between the 2 groups(both P>0.05).The evaluation results of the CRST showed that out of 217 migraine patients,39 patients(17.97%)were accompanied by tremors.The electromyographic results showed that all 52 migraine patients with tremors had upper limb tremors,including 28 migraine patients with postural tremors and 24 migraine patients with static tremors.Compared with the migraine patients with static tremors,the migraine patients with postural tremors had lower average frequency,peak frequency,and headache onset frequency(all P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that frequency of physical exercise,duration of illness,frequency of headache attacks,NRS score,GAD-7 score,and PHQ-9 score were risk factors for migraine patients with concomitant tremors(all P<0.05). Conclusion:Patients with migraine mainly experience upper limb postural tremors.Reduced physical exercise,long course of disease,long duration of headache,frequent headache attacks,severe headache,anxiety,and depression are risk factors for migraine patients with concomitant tremors.

Objective To comprehensively evaluate the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine resource allocation in grassroots community health service centers in Guangzhou in 2022.Methods Based on the index system of traditional Chinese medicine resource allocation(community health service center)in Guangzhou,MATLAB R2021a and SPSS 27 software were used to comprehensively evaluate the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine resource allocation in 116 community health service centers in Guangzhou by TOPSIS method and RSR method.Results The allocation of TCM resources in 5 communities,including Xiaoguwei Street Community Health Service Center in Panyu District,Guangzhou City,Dadong Street Community Health Service Center in Yuexiu District,Guangzhou City,Fengyuan Street Community Health Service Center in Leiwan District,Guangzhou City,was evaluated as"excellent",and the allocation of TCM resources in 4 communities was rated as"poor".In addition,27,53 and 27 community health service centers were rated as"upper middle","medium"and"lower middle"respectively.Analysis of variance showed that the difference was statistically significant(F = 231.268,P<0.001).Conclusion TOPSIS method combined with RSR method can better evaluate the allocation of TCM resources in grass-roots communities:The allocation of TCM resources in grass-roots communities in Guangzhou is generally good,but there are still significant differences among different communities.In the future,health administrative departments at all levels in Guangzhou can rationally allocate resources according to the differences of different com-munities and better improve the capacity building of traditional Chinese medicine service in grassroots communities.

Objective:To detect pathogenic mutation in a Chinese family affected with isolated bilateral microtia.Methods:During 2022 June to December, one Chinese Han family with non-syndromic bilateral microtia was recruited at the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University. The clinical data and peripheral blood samples were collected from the family members. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) was performed in the proband to screen all candidate variants. Quantitative PCR was applied to identify the candidate copy number variation (CNV) among the proband, the unaffected wife and the affected son to demonstrate the association between candidate variant and phenotype.Results:The patients in the family had non-syndromic bilateral concha-type microtia. WGS detected the duplication in the intergenic region of HMX1 and CPZ gene in the proband, which involved the evolutionarily conserved region (ECR). Both the proband and his affected son carried the CNV, while his unaffected wife did not have this variation.Conclusion:Duplications involving the long range HMX1 enhancer ECR are associated with the bilateral concha-type microtia in this family.

Objective:To explore the clinical warning value of ischemic modified albumin (IMA) and IMA to human serum albumin (HSA) ratio (IMAR) in the development of pre-eclampsia (PE) and its severity.Methods:A total of 156 pregnant women with PE admitted to the Haidian District Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Beijing from April 2022 to March 2023 were collected as the PE group, and 156 healthy pregnant women with the same age and gestational age were matched as the control group. PE pregnant women were further divided into severe PE group (78 cases) and non-severe PE group (78 cases). Severe PE pregnant women were divided into emergency group (42 cases) and non-emergency group (36 cases) according to the disease progression time.All pregnant women were stratified according to their HSA levels (<30 g/L, 30-32 g/L, ≥32 g/L), and the peripheral blood IMA, HSA, and IMAR of pregnant women in different periods and subgroups were compared, and also the difference of IMA levels in umbilical artery blood. Bivariate correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation between severe PE and IMA or IMAR, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was used to analyze the diagnostic value of IMA, HSA, and IMAR for PE and severe PE.Results:(1) The IMA level and IMAR in peripheral serum of pregnant women in the PE group at diagnosis, and the IMA level in umbilical artery blood at delivery, and peripheral serum at 2 days after delivery were higher than those in the control group. The HSA level in peripheral serum was lower than that in the control group at diagnosis, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). (2) The IMA level and IMAR in the peripheral serum of pregnant women with severe PE were higher than those in the non-severe PE group at diagnosis, while the HSA level were lower than those in the non-severe PE group. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). At diagnosis, the IMA level and IMAR in peripheral serum of pregnant women in the emergency group were higher than those in the non-emergency group, while the HSA level was lower than that in the non-emergency group. The differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05). When diagnosed, the peripheral serum IMA levels of pregnant women in the PE group were compared between subgroups with HSA<30 g/L, 30-32 g/L, ≥32 g/L, and there was no statistically significant difference ( F=0.366, P=0.694). However, the IMAR was compared between the three subgroups, and the difference was statistically significant ( F=28.544, P<0.001), which increased with the decrease of HSA levels. In the subgroup with HSA≥32 g/L, the peripheral serum IMA level and IMAR of pregnant women in the PE group were higher than those in the control group at diagnosis, and the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.001). (3) The severe PE manifestations positively correlated with peripheral serum IMAR at diagnosis include systolic blood pressure ( r=0.279), mean arterial pressure ( r=0.212), and urinary protein quantification ( r=0.277), while the severe PE manifestations negatively correlated include HSA levels ( r=-0.644) and newborn birth weight ( r=-0.305), all of which were significantly correlated ( P<0.05). (4) The area under curve (AUC) for IMAR diagnosis of PE was 0.875 (95% CI: 0.833-0.916), with the highest diagnostic efficiency at a cutoff value of 2.06, sensitivity of 72.5%, and specificity of 85.1%. The AUC for diagnosing severe PE was 0.871 (95% CI: 0.822-0.919), with the highest diagnostic efficacy at a cutoff value of 2.18, sensitivity of 72.3%, and specificity of 88.3%. The diagnostic efficacy of IMAR for PE and severe PE were higher than those of IMA and HSA levels. Conclusions:The level of IMA and IMAR in pregnant women with PE are higher than those in normal pregnant women. IMA and IMAR are correlated with the severity of PE, with IMAR changes occurring earlier and more significantly. IMAR could be considered as one of the evaluation indicators for the development of PE, or as a more sensitive PE severity warning indicator than HSA.

The theoretical knowledge and operational skills of nurses, core competence of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation specialist nurses and training satisfaction were compared between the two groups after training.Results:After training, the scores of theoretical knowledge and operational skills, core competence of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation specialist nurses and training satisfaction in observation group were higher than those in control group, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The modified presentation assimilation discussion combined with heuristic clinical medicine teaching can improve the theoretical knowledge and operational skills of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation specialist nurses, and the nurses' training satisfaction is higher.

Berberine is an antipyretic and detoxicating drug commonly used in clinical practice,and it is currently used for the routine treatment of gastrointestinal diseases such as bacterial gastroenteritis and diarrhea.However,several recent studies have shown that berberine can exert a therapeutic effect on the diseases such as autoimmune hepatitis,viral hepatitis,nonalcoholic fatty liver disease,and liver cancer by regulating the AMPK and TGF-β pathways and altering the composition of intestinal flora.This provides new drugs for the treatment of these diseases,expands the potential indications of berberine,and provides clues for the follow-up research and development of similar drugs.This article summarizes the therapeutic effect and mechanism of berberine on various liver diseases,in order to provide a reference for effective clinical application.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease affecting both upper and lower motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. One important aspect of ALS pathogenesis is superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) mutant-mediated mitochondrial toxicity, leading to apoptosis in neurons. This study aimed to evaluate the neural protective synergistic effects of ginsenosides Rg1 (G-Rg1) and conditioned medium (CM) on a mutational SOD1 cell model, and to explore the underlying mechanisms. We found that the contents of nerve growth factor, glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor significantly increased in CM after human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) were exposed to neuron differentiation reagents for seven days. CM or G-Rg1 decreased the apoptotic rate of SOD1^G93A-NSC34 cells to a certain extent, but their combination brought about the least apoptosis, compared with CM or G-Rg1 alone. Further research showed that the anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was upregulated in all the treatment groups. Proteins associated with mitochondrial apoptotic pathways, such as Bax, caspase 9 (Cas-9), and cytochrome c (Cyt c), were downregulated. Furthermore, CM or G-Rg1 also inhibited the activation of the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway by reducing the phosphorylation of p65 and IκBα. CM/G-Rg1 or their combination also reduced the apoptotic rate induced by betulinic acid (BetA), an agonist of the NF-κB signaling pathway. In summary, the combination of CM and G-Rg1 effectively reduced the apoptosis of SOD1^G93A-NSC34 cells through suppressing the NF-κB/Bcl-2 signaling pathway (Fig. 1 is a graphical representation of the abstract).
