Objective:To summarize the clinical features, electroencephalogram (EEG) and magnetoencephalogram (MEG) of patients with pure paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesia (PKD) and PKD with epilepsy, so as to better distinguish them and guide the treatments.Methods:The clinical data of 200 patients diagnosed with PKD in the Outpatient Department of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital Medical University from 2000 to 2023 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into 2 groups: pure PKD (174 cases) and PKD with epilepsy (26 cases) according to whether accompanied by epilepsy. The differences in clinical features, drug therapy, EEG and MEG were compared between the 2 groups.Results:The clinical features of the 2 groups were essentially similar, and the proportion of PKD dyskinesia induced by emotional stress in the pure PKD group (54/174, 31.03%) was higher than that in the PKD with epilepsy group (2/26, 7.69%; χ 2=5.010, P=0.025). In terms of pharmacological response, carbamazepine was the most commonly used medication in both groups, but patients with PKD with epilepsy may need a higher therapeutic dosages (0.2-0.4 g/d, and gradually increased to 0.8 g/d) to effectively manage both dyskinesia and seizures. Regarding the EEG and MEG, the proportion of EEG abnormalities was higher in PKD patients with epilepsy, mainly manifested as focal spikes [1/70(1.43%) vs 9/21(42.86%), χ 2=24.268, P<0.001], together with aberrant MEG discharge (4/18 vs 3/5, χ 2=1.155, P=0.282). The MEG dipoles were mainly distributed in the brain regions close to the frontal lobe and central region. Conclusions:The clinical manifestations of motor symptoms of pure PKD and PKD with epilepsy are similar, and carbamazepine remains the most effective treatment. PKD patients with epilepsy have a higher proportion of abnormal EEG, mainly manifested as focal spikes, and are more likely to show abnormal discharge of MEG, which could be used to distinguish them.

ObjectiveTo explore the anti-tumor effect and mechanism of Shenqi Yiliu prescription in the intervention of pyroptosis. MethodTen male BALB/c mice were randomly selected and assigned to the blank group. The remaining 40 mice underwent the induction of the liver cancer xenograft model. After 5 days of modeling, 40 surviving mice were randomly divided into model group, cisplatin group [2.5×10-3 g·kg-1·(3 d)-1], Shenqi Yiliu prescription group (27 g·kg-1·d-1), and a combination group (Shenqi Yiliu prescription group + cisplatin). The mice in the blank group and the model group were treated with an equal volume of normal saline for 10 days. The general conditions of mice in each group were observed. After the intervention, the tumor weight of the mice was weighed and the tumor inhibition rate was calculated. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the pathological changes in tumor tissues. The levels of mouse liver function indicators, including alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were detected. The TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay was used to detect DNA damage in mouse tumor tissue cells. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), immunofluorescence (IF), and Western blot were used to detect the protein expression levels of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3), cysteinyl aspartate-specific protease-1 (Caspase-1), and gasdermin D (GSDMD) in tumor tissues. The levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and interleukin-18 (IL-18) in tumor tissues were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). ResultCompared with the mice in the blank group, those in the model group were in a poor mental state, sleepy, and lazy, and their fur color was dull, with increased levels of serum ALT and AST in liver function tests (P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the groups with drug intervention showed improved mental state, inhibited tumor growth to varying degrees, and decreased tumor weight, and the tumor inhibition rate in the combination group was the highest (P<0.01). HE staining showed that the pathological and morphological lesions of the tumor tissues in the model group were significant, while those in all groups with drug intervention were improved to a certain extent. The karyolysis and nuclear rupture in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group and the combination group were more significant. In the liver function test, the serum ALT and AST levels of mice in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group and the combination group decreased (P<0.01), and the inflammatory factors IL-1β and IL-18 in each group with drug intervention decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Among them, the declining trend of IL-1β and IL-18 in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group was the most significant (P<0.01). TUNEL staining showed that the positive TUNEL staining in each group with drug intervention decreased after intervention (P<0.05, P<0.01), especially the cisplatin group and Shenqi Yiliu prescription group (P<0.01). Western blot, IHC, and IF found that the protein expression levels of NLRP3, Caspase-1, and GSDMD in each group with drug intervention decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the mice in the cisplatin group, those in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group and the combination group had better mental state and regular tumor morphology, and the tumor weight of the mice in the combination group decreased (P<0.05). The levels of ALT and AST in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group decreased (P<0.05), and the levels of IL-1β and IL-18 in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group and the combination group decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), especially in the combination group (P<0.01). The results of IHC showed that the expression of GSDMD protein in the tumor tissues of mice in the combination group was reduced (P<0.01). IF detection showed that the expression of NLRP3 in the tumor tissues of the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group was reduced (P<0.01). The results of Western blot showed that the expression level of NLRP3 protein in the Shenqi Yiliu prescription group and the combination group decreased (P<0.01), and the expression level of Caspase-1 protein in the combination group decreased (P<0.01). The decrease in GSDMD protein expression was not significant, and the difference was not statistically significant. ConclusionShenqi Yiliu prescription combined with cisplatin has an obvious anti-tumor effect, which may be achieved by down-regulating the NLRP3/Caspase-1/GSDMD inflammatory pyroptosis pathway to inhibit cell pyroptosis, and relieve the inflammatory response in mice with liver cancer.

Objective:To conduct a systematic review of cardiovascular disease risk perception scale for community residents, so as to provide a basis for clinical medical personnel to choose high-quality assessment tools.Methods:PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, China Biology Medicine disc, CNKI, Wanfang Data and VIP were searched for studies on cardiovascular disease risk perception scales for community residents from the establishment of the databases to December 10, 2022. Based on the Consensus-based Standards for the Selection of Health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) and the modified version of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) , two researchers independently evaluated the methodological and measurement properties of the included scales, scoring evidence and forming recommendations.Results:A total of 9 literatures were included, involving 5 scales.None of the scales were assessed for measurement error, cross-cultural validity and responsiveness. The recommendation strength of four scales was class B, and one was class C.Conclusions:There is no recommended scale at present. It is suggested that future studies should take COSMIN guidelines as a guide to further strictly evaluate the measurement attributes of existing scales or construct new scales, so as to provide references for clinical research to provide higher quality assessment tools.
