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.

Objective: To design HBV DNA proficiency testing and system comparison samples with different concentration gradients, analyze their detection results in PCR detection systems, evaluate the nucleic acid detection capabilities of laboratories and differences between detection systems, and put forward suggestions for continuous quality improvement to participating laboratories. Methods: Three groups of randomly numbered proficiency testing samples (with HBV DNA reference concentrations of <2, 7.5, and 30 IU/mL respectively) were taken as the detection objects. Using nucleic acid test data from 11 provincial blood station laboratories as the source, the samples were grouped by detection system and laboratory successively, and statistical analysis was conducted. Results: Statistical analysis of the detection data of the three groups of samples based on detection systems and laboratories showed that from low to high concentration, the coincidence rate between the detection results of different detection systems and laboratories and the expected results showed an increasing trend: 38.89%, 85.90%, and 100.00%; the same system exhibited certain differences in performance among different laboratories. Conclusion: Through this proficiency testing and system comparison, it is found that there are certain differences in the detection capabilities of different laboratories and different nucleic acid test systems. Blood station laboratories should standardize processes, strengthen quality management and data analysis on the basis of being familiar with the detection performance of their detection systems, and at the same time strengthen the control of laboratory interference factors to continuously improve the nucleic acid detection capabilities of blood station laboratories.

Objective To investigate the short-term efficacy of dapagliflozin in the treatment of non-diabetic patients with severe aortic stenosis after transcatheter aortic valve replacement(TAVR).Methods A total of 84 non-diabetic patients with severe aortic stenosis after TAVR who were admitted to Zhengzhou Cardiovascular Hospital from March 2019 to September 2022 were selected as research subjects.According to the postoperative treatment,the patients were divided into control group and observation group,with 42 patients in each group.Patients in both groups underwent TAVR.The patients in the control group were given routine treatments such as antiplatelet drugs,cardiac remodeling improvement drugs,and diuretics after TAVR;patients in the observation group were given dapagliflozin 10 mg daily for 6 months in addition to treatment in the control group.The left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),left ventricular end-systolic diameter(LVESD),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD),aortic valve peak gradient(AVPG)and aortic valve peak velocity(AVPV)of patients in the two groups were measured by using an ultrasound diagnostic instrument before surgery,3 days and 6 months after TAVR;before surgery and 6 months after the TAVR,low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)in serum of patients in the two groups was detected by direct measurement method,lipoprotein a[Lp(a)]level in serum was detected by latex agglutination reaction method,hypersensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)level in serum was detected by rate scattering turbidimetry;the levels of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP),interleukin-6(IL-6),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and interleukin-1 β(IL-1 β)in serum were detected by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay;the glycated hemoglobin level of patients in the two groups was measured by ion exchange chromatography.Results There was no statistically significant difference in LVEF,LVESD and LVEDD of patients in the two groups before and 3 days after surgery(P＞0.05);after 3 days of surgery,the AVPG and AVPV of patients in the two groups were significantly lower than those before surgery(P＜0.05).Six months after surgery,the LVEF of patients in the two groups was significantly higher than that before and 3 days after surgery,while LVESD,LVEDD,AVPG and AVPV were significantly lower than those before and 3 days after surgery(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in LVEF,LVESD,LVEDD,AVPG and AVPV between the control group and the observation group before and 3 days after surgery(P＞0.05).After 6 months of surgery,the LVEF of patients in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group,while LVESD and LVEDD were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05);there was no statistically significant difference in AVPG and AVPV of patients between the observation group and control group(P＞0.05).Before surgery,there was no statistically significant difference in body mass index(BMI),LDL-C and Lp(a)of patients between the two groups(P＞0.05).Six months after surgery,the BMI,LDL-C and Lp(a)of patients in the two groups were significantly lower than those before surgery,and the BMI,LDL-C and Lp(a)of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Before surgery,there was no statistically significant difference in the hs-CRP,NT-proBNP,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-1 β of patients between the two groups(P＞0.05);six months after surgery,the hs-CRP,NT-proBNP,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-1 β of patients in the two groups were significantly lower than those before surgery,and the hs-CRP,NT-proBNP,IL-6,TNF-α and IL-lβ of patients in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in glycated hemoglobin of patients between the two groups before and six months after surgery(P＞0.05),and no statistically significant difference in glycated hemoglobin of patients in the two groups six months after surgery compared with that before surgery(P＞0.05).Conclusion Dapagliflozin can effectively improve cardiac structural remodeling,regulate lipid metabolism,reduce the expression of inflammatory factors and promote the recovery of heart function in non-diabetic patients with severe aortic stenosis after TAVR.

Objective:To explore the relationship between periprosthetic infection and preoperative serum levels of human β-defensin 3 (HBd-3) and interleukin-12 (IL-12) in patients with femoral neck fracture after hip replacement surgery.Methods:A prospective study was conducted to 268 patients with femoral neck fracture who underwent hip replacement surgery at Chengde Central Hospital from April 2020 to April 2022. They were divided into an infected group and an uninfected group based on whether they had periprosthetic infection within 2 weeks after surgery. The baseline data and preoperative laboratory indicators of the two groups were compared, and the relationship between preoperative serum HBd-3 and IL-12 levels and postoperative periprosthetic infection in patients was mainly analyzed.Results:Seventeen out of 268 patients with femoral neck fractures experienced periprosthetic infections after hip replacement surgery, with an infection rate of 6.34%(17/268). The body mass index, operation time, postoperative drainage time and IL-12 in the infected group were higher than those in the uninfected group: (23.75 ± 2.18) kg/m 2 vs. (21.86 ± 1.95) kg/m 2, (124.82 ± 15.93) min vs. (116.92 ± 14.75) min, (57.41±7.81) min vs. (49.65 ± 5.73) min, (64.82 ± 11.59) ng/L vs. (54.23 ± 9.55) ng/L, the preoperative albumin and HBd-3 were lower than those in the uninfected group: (32.56±4.63) g/L vs. (37.25 ± 5.81) g/L, (38.03 ± 6.74) μg/L vs. (46.84 ± 8.93) μg/L, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The results of Logistic regression analysis showed that high body mass index, long surgical and postoperative drainage time, and high preoperative IL-12 levels were risk factors for periprosthetic infection after hip replacement surgery in patients with femoral neck fractures ( OR>1, P<0.05), while preoperative serum albumin and HBd-3 levels were protective factors ( OR<1, P<0.05). Receiver operating characteristic curve results showed that preoperative serum HBd-3 and IL-12 alone and in combination predict AUC>0.70 for periprosthetic infection in patients with femoral neck fracture after hip replacement surgery, which had certain predictive value. The restricted cubic spline method combining spline function and Logistic regression was used for analysis, and the results showed a linear dose-response relationship between the levels of HBd-3 and IL-12 and the strength of the association with periprosthetic infection after hip replacement surgery in patients with femoral neck fracture ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Preoperative serum HBd-3 and IL-12 levels are associated with periprosthetic infection in patients with femoral neck fracture after hip replacement surgery, and can serve as predictive indicators for infection occurrence.

Social anxiety disorder has a significant negative impact on individuals'social interaction and normal life,and childhood trauma plays an important role in the occurrence and development of SAD.Childhood trauma affects the development of self-awareness,impairs the ability of information processing,hinders the normal development of prefrontal cortex-limbic system loop and default mode network,and causes abnormal secretion of glucocorticoid and oxytocin,which leads to individuals'inability to correctly understand social clues and reasonably regulate emotions,and thus unable to produce adaptive emotional and behavioral responses in social situations,which may lead to SAD.In conclusion,childhood trauma has a lasting adverse effect on social function from both psychological and physiological aspects.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of robot-assisted screw fixation for unstable pelvic ring multifocal fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on 76 patients with unstable pelvic fractures treated with orthopaedic robot-assisted screw fixation in the Trauma Center of the Affiliated Central Hospital of Shandong First Medical University from January 2015 to June 2022, including 43 males and 33 females, aged 52.53±13.68 years (range, 16-87 years). There were 43 cases of falling injuries from high places, 22 cases of traffic accidents, 11 cases of crushing injuries and heavy objects. Fifty-five patients were employed before the injury, while 21 were not. Fractures were classified according to the Tile classification, with 72 cases classified as type B and 4 cases as type C. Robot-assisted fixation techniques included internal fixator (INFIX), anterior ring screws, sacroiliac screws, and LC-II screws. Intraoperative blood loss, fluoroscopy frequency, surgical time, and the success rate of initial guidewire placement were recorded. Fracture reduction quality was evaluated using the Matta criteria, and postoperative pelvic function recovery was assessed using the Majeed criteria.Results:A total of 150 surgical procedures were performed on 76 patients, including 34 cases of INFIX fixation, 48 cases of anterior ring screws, 61 cases of sacroiliac joint screws, and 7 cases of LC-II screws. The mean intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency was 46.63±17.50 times (range, 15-93 times). Intraoperative fluoroscopy frequency varied among different fixation techniques, with INFIX group at 16.44±4.32 times, LC-II group at 21.59±5.80 times, anterior ring screws group at 29.44±11.65 times, and sacroiliac screws group at 23.10±11.87 times. The intraoperative blood loss was 20 (10, 47.5) ml (range, 5-300 ml), and the surgical time was 105 (86, 150) min (range, 30-290 min). The mean surgical time varied among different fixation techniques. All patients were followed up for an average of 6.46±2.26 months (range, 3-16 months). Clinical healing was achieved in all patients within 6 months, with an average time of 3.14±0.50 months. At the last follow-up, fracture reduction quality assessed by the Matta score was excellent in 21 cases and good in 43 cases, with an excellent/good rate of 84% (64/76). The Majeed score was 81.82±9.14 points (range, 50-92 points). For patients who were employed before the injury, the Majeed score was 86.55±4.85 points (range, 60-92 points), with 49 cases rated as excellent, 5 cases as good, and 1 case as fair. For patients who were not employed before the injury, the Majeed score was 69.43±5.34 points (range, 50-73 points), with 18 cases rated as excellent, 2 cases as good, and 1 case as fair. The overall excellent and good rate was 97% (74/76). Among patients who underwent INFIX internal fixation, 8 cases experienced lateral femoral cutaneous nerve injury postoperatively, all of which recovered sensation after 3 months; 1 case using LC-II screws experienced screw loosening postoperatively and was advised to reduce activity, then the screw was removed after fracture healing at 6 months postoperatively; 1 case using anterior ring channel screws experienced surgical site infection postoperatively, which was controlled after debridement.Conclusion:In the treatment of unstable pelvic ring multiple fractures, robot-assisted screw fixation has less blood loss, less fluoroscopy times, high success rate of planning guide needle, satisfactory reduction quality and postoperative function.

Objective:To investigate the functional connectivity of default mode network (DMN) and limbic system, the expression level of inflammatory cytokine and their correlation in bipolar disorder type Ⅱ(BDⅡ) patients with depressive episodes.Methods:Thirty-three BD Ⅱ patients with depressive episodes and forty-six healthy controls were recruited to complete the resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). After image preprocessing, the DMN and limbic system were extracted from the image data by independent component analysis (ICA), so as to compare the differences of functional connectivity of resting brain network between the patients and the controls.Serum levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin-6 (IL-6), interleukin-8(IL-8), interleukin-10(IL-10), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and C-C motif chemokine ligand 4 (CCL4) in patients and healthy controls were detected.The correlation between functional connectivity of different brain regions and inflammatory cytokines was analyzed.SPSS 17.0 software was used for data statistical analysis.The two samples were compared using t-test or Mann-Whitney U-test, and Spearman was used for correlation testing. Results:In BDⅡ patients, the functional connectivity of the right medial prefrontal cortex(cluster-size=7 voxel, cluster-level PGRF<0.05, MNI: x=6, y=54, z=9, t=-3.765) and the left superior frontal gyrus(cluster-size=10 voxel, cluster-level PGRF<0.05, MNI: x=-21, y=54, z=15, t=-4.139) in DMN decreased, while the left cerebellum Ⅳ and Ⅴ lobules of limbic system (cluster-size=21 voxel, cluster-level PGRF<0.05, MNI: x=-15, y=-24, z=-30, t=4.468) and cerebellar tonsil of left cerebellum posterior lobe(cluster-size=8 voxel, cluster-level PGRF<0.05, MNI: x=-15, y=-51, z=-45, t=4.138) in the limbic system increased.Compared with the healthy controls, the serum levels of IL-10(7.39 (6.33, 9.32) pg/mL vs 6.54 (5.84, 7.39) pg/mL, Z=-2.937, P=0.003)and CCL4 (39.31 (25.77, 68.70) pg/mL vs 31.30 (20.32, 40.89) pg/mL, Z=-2.209, P=0.027) were higher in BDⅡ patients.The functional connectivity of the left cerebellum Ⅳ and Ⅴ lobules was positively correlated with the serum levels of IL-10 ( r=0.432, P=0.031) and that of the cerebellar tonsil of left cerebellum posterior lobe was positively correlated with the serum levels of IL-10 ( r=0.429, P=0.032) and CCL4 ( r=0.402, P=0.046). Conclusion:The functional connectivity of DMN and limbic system in BDⅡ patients with depressive episode is abnormal in resting-state fMRI.The expression level of inflammatory cytokines in patients' serum increases, and has correlation with the functional connection of limbic system.

Comprehensive experiments course is a bridge for higher vocational students to integrate theoretical knowledge with production practice. The article introduces that our biological pharmacy department is committed to the principles of "promotion of teaching, learning and construction through skills competition so as to integrate education and training". By taking penicillin fermentation process as an example, reform has been made in several aspects including teaching objectives, teaching content and teaching methods. We integrate the practical operation of fermentation equipment with virtual simulation software to develop a two-way interactive course. By reducing the subjective dependence, the quantitative management and evaluation of fermentation process parameter control were put into place, which efficiently integrated the skills competition with practical teaching. Improved teaching performance has been achieved over recent years, which may facilitate the reform and practice of similar courses based on skills competition.

Objective To study changes in kinematics and joint coordination of the waist and hips during sit-to-stand and stand-to-sit tasks in patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods The Vicon 3D motion capture system was used to collect the kinematics data from 20 healthy controls and 20 LDH subjects, and differences in movement patterns of the lumbar spine and hip joints during sitting and standing tasks were compared between two groups through statistical parametric mapping (SPM). Results During sit-to-stand task, the lumbar spine flexion and extension range and hip joint abduction angle of LDH subjects were significantly limited, and the hip flexion angle increased. SPM analysis showed that for both groups at initial stage of sit-to-stand (10%-13%), there was a statistically significant difference in flexion angle of the lumbar spine, and lumbar flexion angle of LDH subjects was significantly reduced, while hip flexion angle at 2%-14% phase was significantly increased. During stand-to-sit phase (65%-69%), LDH subjects showed increased hip abduction angle. Conclusions LDH subjects have limited lumbar flexion and hip abduction functions during sitting and standing, and they need to be compensated with increased hip flexion activities to complete functional tasks. In clinical evaluation, changes in motor function of the spine and hips should be focused on.
