ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Shenge Bushen Capsules (SBC) on sexual development in normal 3-week-old mice. MethodsThe experiment consisted of two parts. In the first part, mice were divided into four groups: The control group and the low, medium, and high-dose SBC groups (234.7, 469.4, 938.7 mg·kg-1, respectively). In the second part, mice were divided into four groups: Control group, Pseudostellariae Radix polysaccharide (PRP) group, total flavonoids group, and SBC group, all receiving a dose of 469.4 mg·kg-1. After 7 days of administration, the vaginal opening of female mice and the descent of testes and scrotum in male mice, as well as the ovarian and testicular organ indices, were observed. After 4 weeks of administration, female and male mice were housed together for 2 days, and the pregnancy rate of females was monitored. After delivery, the pregnant female mice continued receiving the treatment for 4 weeks, and the sexual development of their offspring, including vaginal opening, testicular descent, and organ indices of ovaries and testes, was observed. Serum sex hormones were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and the expression of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and growth hormone (GH) proteins in the hypothalamus was assessed by Western blot. ResultsCompared with the control group, there was no significant effect on the vaginal opening of female mice or the descent of testes in male mice after 7 days of SBC administration. After 4 weeks of administration, the pregnancy rate in the low-dose group was significantly reduced (P<0.05), but no significant effects were observed in the other groups. The three doses of SBC did not significantly affect the ovarian or testicular organ indices, and there was no significant upregulation in the expression of GnRH or GH in the hypothalamus. The primary component of SBC, Pseudostellariae Radix polysaccharide, significantly reduced the vaginal opening in female mice after 7 days of administration (P<0.05). After 4 weeks, the serum estradiol levels of non-pregnant female mice were decreased (P<0.05), but there was no significant effect on the expression of GnRH or GH proteins in the hypothalamus of either male or female mice. Additionally, there were no significant effects on precocious puberty indicators, such as vaginal opening and testicular descent, in the offspring mice. ConclusionSBC does not significantly promote precocious puberty in young mice, and it does not have any noticeable effects on the pregnancy rate of adult mice or the sexual development of their offspring.

AIM: To analyze the factors affecting non-contact intraocular pressure(IOPNCT)measurements after femtosecond laser-assisted small incision lenticule extraction(SMILE), explore the correlation of IOPNCT with central corneal thickness(CCT)and corneal curvature after SMILE, and construct the corresponding regression model which will provide scientific basis for clinical evaluation of the true IOP of patients after SMILE.METHODS: Data from a retrospective analysis of 107 myopic patients(206 eyes)who underwent SMILE and 107 myopic patients(201 eyes)received femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis(FS-LASIK)surgery from June 2023 to May 2024 were examined. IOPNCT, CCT, and corneal curvature before surgery and at 1 and 3 mo were collected. The preoperative and postoperative IOPNCT, CCT and corneal curvature were analyzed by ANOVA and Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple linear regression models were constructed to evaluate the association of postoperative changes of IOPNCT, CCT and corneal curvature.RESULTS: There were significant differences in IOPNCT, CCT, and corneal curvature of both SMILE and FS-LASIK patients(all P<0.001), there was no significant difference between two groups and interaction effects(all P>0.05), and the IOPNCT, CCT and corneal curvature at 1 and 3 mo post-surgery were significantly lower than preoperative(all P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed a positive correlation between IOPNCT and CCT at 1 and 3 mo after SMILE(r=0.261, 0.267, all P<0.001), but no significant correlation with corneal curvature(all P>0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis of IOPNCT with CCT and corneal curvature at 1 mo after SMILE indicated that the regression equation was: Y=3.426+0.019X1-0.058X2(Y represents IOPNCT, X1 represents the CCT, and X2 represents the corneal curvature), with statistical significant difference in the equation(F=7.654, P=0.001); the regression equation for 3 mo after surgery was: Y=2.056+0.020X1-0.038 X2(Y represents IOPNCT, X1 represents the CCT, and X2 represents the corneal curvature), with statistically significance in the equation(F=7.903, P<0.001). The regression equation of postoperative IOPNCT change(△IOPNCT)and intraoperative cutting corneal thickness(△CCT)and corneal curvature at 1 mo was Y=-2.252+0.008X1+0.587X2(Y represents △IOPNCT, X1 stands for the △CCT, X2 represents the corneal curvature change value), with statistical significant difference in the equation(F=17.550, P<0.001); the regression equation for 3 mo after surgery was: Y=-2.168+0.024X1+0.281X2(Y represents △IOPNCT, X1 represents △CCT, X2 indicates the corneal curvature change values), with statistical significant difference in the equation(F=16.030, P<0.001).CONCLUSION: After SMILE and FS-LASIK surgery, the IOPNCT value of patients was mainly affected by CCT compared with preoperative surgery, and the short-term use of hormone eye drops, fluorometholone, did not cause a significant increase in IOP; both the IOP correction formula at 1 and 3 mo postoperatively can be used clinically to evaluate and correct actual IOP in patients after SMILE.

[Objective] To explore the clinical features of IgG4-related urinary diseases so as to provide reference for the diagnosis and treatment of such diseases. [Methods] The clinical data of 4 cases of IgG4-related urinary system diseases diagnosed and treated in Xijing Hospital of Air Force Medical University during Aug.2019 and Dec.2023 were retrospectively collected.Here, we report on the diagnosis and treatment of these patients, analysing their symptoms, serology, imaging and pathology as well as their treatment and outcomes. [Results] The patients included 2 male and 2 female.The lesions were involved with the retroperitoneum and urinary system.Three patients had symptoms of lumbar pain.The imaging manifestations were complex, including retroperitoneal mass involving urinary system organs in 2 cases, tabdense shadow of the right kidney in 1 case, and simple cystic mass of kidney in 1 case.Serum IgG4 value was not detected before surgery.All patients underwent radical surgical treatment.Postoperative pathology showed fibrous tissue hyperplasia with a large number of plasma cells, lymphocytes, a few neutrophil infiltrates, and lymphoid follicles and obliterated vasculitis in some specimens.The number of IgG4+ plasma cells was more than 10 in all tissues under high power microscope.After surgery, 3 patients had symptoms improved, and serum IgG4 value was within the normal range; 1 patient (patem 3) had elevated IgG4 value during follow-up, received subsequent hormone therapy, and the serum IgG 4 level remained stable. [Conclusion] The symptoms of IgG4-related diseases involving the urinary system are non-specific, and the imaging findings are various, easily confused with other diseases.Early detection of serum IgG4 and biopsy pathology can help clinicians make correct diagnosis in the early stage.

BackgroundFamily factors are known to play a critical role in the development, progression and prognosis of adolescent patients with depressive disorder. Psychodrama group therapy has the potential for bringing about positive change in individual growth and relationship repair, but there is currently insufficient research evidence for the effectiveness of psychodrama group therapy in promoting the recovery in depressive disorder in adolescents through improving the family parenting skills of their parents. ObjectiveTo explore the influence of psychodrama group therapy based on family parenting intervention on parents of adolescent patients with depressive disorder, so as to provide references for promoting the recovery for adolescent patients with depressive disorder. MethodsPurposive sampling was used to recruit adolescent patients who met the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorder of the International Classification of Diseases, tenth edition (ICD-10) and hospitalized in the psychiatric outpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from October 2023 to March 2024, and their parents (either mother or father) were taken as the study subjects. Psychodrama group therapy based on family parenting intervention was performed once a week for 6 consecutive weeks. After intervention, semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents who participated in the group, and the interviews were recorded. Content analysis method was employed to perform qualitative analysis on the interview recordings and verbatim transcripts. ResultsAfter receiving psychodrama group intervention based on family parenting, parents of adolescent patients with depressive disorder demonstrated improvement in emotional state, enhanced reflective ability and altered coping style, which were specifically manifested as reducing negative emotions, increasing positive emotions, reflecting on themselves, empathizing with others, adjusting cognition, changing the way of stress regulation, improving communication styles and actively seeking resources. ConclusionApplication of psychodrama group therapy based on family parenting intervention may improve emotional state, reflective ability and coping style of the parents of adolescent patients with depressive disorder.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of Xihuang Pill/Capsule (西黄丸/胶囊, XP/XC) as an adjuvant to radiotherapy and/or chemotherapy in the treatment of malignant digestive tract tumors. MethodsA systematic search was conducted in the China Biomedical Literature Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Data Knowledge Service Platform, VIP Database, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Cochrane Library for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published before March 6, 2024, regarding the use of XP/XC in clinical adjuvant treatment of malignant digestive tract tumors. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the risk of bias assessment tool. RevMan 5.4 was used to perform a Meta-analysis on 1-year survival rate, 2-year survival rate, clinical efficacy, including objective response rate and disease control rate, Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) score, immune markers (CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, and CD4+/CD8+ ratio), and adverse event rates (incidence of gastrointestinal reactions and bone marrow suppression). ResultsThirteen RCTs involving 962 patients were included, with 527 patients in the experimental group and 435 patients in the control group. Meta-analysis results showed that the experimental group had better outcomes than the control group in terms of 2-year survival rate [RR = 0.49, 95% CI (0.31, 0.78)], objective response rate [RR = 0.68, 95% CI (0.60, 0.77)], disease control rate [RR = 0.85, 95% CI (0.80, 0.91)], and immune markers CD3+ [MD = -7.99, 95% CI (-9.12, -6.86)], CD4+ [MD = -5.42, 95% CI (-7.11, -3.74)], and CD4+/CD8+ ratio [MD = -0.26, 95% CI (-0.32, -0.20)] (P<0.05). However, no statistically significant differences were found between the experimental and control groups in terms of 1-year survival rate [RR = 0.91, 95% CI (0.73, 1.14)], KPS [MD = -3.73, 95% CI (-8.67, 1.21)], CD8+ [MD = -0.53, 95% CI (-1.45, 0.39)], incidence of gastrointestinal reactions [RR = 0.82, 95% CI (0.46, 1.46)], and incidence of bone marrow suppression [RR = 0.93, 95% CI (0.72, 1.20)] (P>0.05). ConclusionCompared with radiotherapy/chemotherapy alone, the combination of XP/XC with radiotherapy/chemotherapy can effectively improve clinical efficacy and 2-year survival rate, enhance immune function, and achieve similar adverse event rates as radiotherapy/chemotherapy alone in patients with malignant digestive tract tumors.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-IgG-associated disorders (MOGAD). Methods A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of nine patients with MOGAD who were admitted to our department. Results Among the nine patients with MOGAD, there were five male patients and four female patients, with a median age of onset of 29.0 years. The main clinical symptoms included optic neuritis in five patients, cerebral symptoms (including mental symptoms)in five patients,seizures in four patients, brainstem symptoms in three patients, pyramidal signs in three patients, cerebellar symptoms in three patients, rectal and bladder dysfunction in three patients, myelitis in two patients, paresthesia in two patients, and comorbidity with autoimmune encephalitis in one patient. All patients tested positive for serum MOG-IgG, and two patients tested positive for MOG-IgG in cerebrospinal fluid. MRI showed that cerebral lesions mainly involved the midline structure and deep gray matter,and there were four patients(44.4%) with lesions in the midbrain, the pons, and the medulla oblongata and four patients (44.4%)with lesions in the fourth ventricle; spinal lesions often involved long segments (≥3 segments), and there were two patients with lesions in cervical spinal cord and one patient with lesions in the thoracic spinal cord. All nine patients received immunotherapy in the acute stage, with a mean Expanded Disability Status Scale score of (3.94±2.28) for neurological function assessment. Three patients experienced recurrence during the median follow-up time of 36.0 months,among whom two patients had myelitis. Conclusion There was no significant sex difference in the prevalence rate of MOGAD,and the age of onset of MOGAD is earlier than that of multiple sclerosis and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder.Optic neuritis is the most important clinical phenotype of MOGAD, and MOGAD patients with myelitis phenotype all have longitudinal long-segment lesions of the spinal cord. The different clinical phenotypes of MOGAD may be associated with recurrence rate.

Misophonia is a psychophysiological and behavioral disorder characterized by an individual's low tolerance to specific sounds, leading to intense negative emotional experiences and physiological responses. Currently, there is no standardized and universally effective treatment for misophonia in clinical practice worldwide. This article reports the case of an 18-year-old male patient with misophonia who showed poor response to sertraline combined with exposure and response prevention therapy. Subsequently, the patient received 8 weeks of Morita therapy (once a week, 50 minutes per session), with symptomatic improvement. By presenting this case, we explore the potential efficacy of Morita therapy in treating misophonia, aiming to provide a reference for its clinical management.

Objective To assess the situation and influencing factors of occupational burnout among the staff at the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Sichuan Province. Methods A total of 1 038 CDC staff members in Sichuan Province were selected as the study subjects using the stratified random sampling method. Occupational burnout of the staff was assessed using the Maslach Burnout Inventory General Survey via an online questionnaire. Results The detection rate of occupational burnout was 42.3% (439/1 038). Binary logistic regression analysis result showed that, after controlling for confounding factors such as education level and alcohol consumption, CDC staffs aged at 20-<31, 31-<41, and 41-<51 years were at higher risk of occupational burnout compared with those ≥51 years (all P<0.05). CDC staffs with 5-<10 or ≥10 years of service had higher occupational burnout risk compared with those with <5 years (both P<0.05). CDC staffs with poor or fair health status, irregular diet, and poor sleep quality had higher risk of occupational burnout compared with those healthy, have regular diet, and good sleep quality (all P<0.05). The risk of occupational burnout increased with higher overtime frequency (all P<0.05). Conclusion Occupational burnout among CDC staffs in Sichuan Province is relatively high. Age, years of service, health status, diet, sleep quality, and overtime frequency are key influencing factors.
