Acute Gelsemium poisoning is a systemic disease primarily affecting the central nervous system and respiratory symptoms caused by the ingestion of a substantial amount of Gelsemium within a short period. It manifests as sudden onset and rapid progression, primarily caused by accidental ingestion due to misidentification, and posing significant health risks. The compilation of the Technical Plan for Emergency Health Response to Acute Gelsemium Poisoning describes in detail the specialized practice and technical requirements in the process of handling acute Gelsemium poisoning, including accident investigation and management, laboratory testing and identification, in-hospital treatment, and health monitoring. The guidelines clarify key procedures and requirements such as personal protection, investigation elements, etiology determination, medical rescue, and health education. The key to acute Gelsemium poisoning investigation lies in promptly identifying the toxin through exposure history, clinical manifestations, and sample testing. Because there is no specific antidote for Gelsemium poisoning, immediate removal from exposure, rapid elimination of the toxin, and respiratory monitoring are critical on-site rescue measures. Visual identification of food or herbal materials, followed by laboratory testing to determine Gelsemium alkaloids in samples is a rapid effective screening method. These guidelines offer a scientific, objective, and practical framework to support effective emergency responses to acute Gelsemium poisoning incidences.

Objective To study the brain functional connectivity(FC)changes in patients with normal tension glau-coma(NTG)and healthy volunteers using FC technique of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI)based on V1 region seed point(ROI),so as to explore the pathogenesis and early diagnosis of NTG.Methods Fourteen NTG patients(NTG group)who met the inclusion criteria and 14 healthy controls(HCs group)were enrolled.The clinical data of all subjects were collected,and rs-fMRI was performed in both groups.The magnetic resonance data was pre-pro-cessed by software,and bilateral A1 regions were taken as the ROI to analyze their correction with the whole brain voxel time series and obtain the FC value between the ROI and the whole brain by comparison of FC values in resting state be-tween the groups.Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between FC value in the brain regions with significant differences with the ROI and clinical variables in the NTG group.Results Compared with the subjects in the HCs group,there were no statistically significant differences in age,gender,body weight,cup-disc ratio and 24 h mean intraocular pressure of patients in the NTG group(all P＞0.05),and there were statistically significant differences in the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA)of both eyes and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness(RNFLT)(all P＜0.05).The Pearson correlation analysis showed that FC value of the brain regions with abnormal FC to V1 region were cor-related with RNFLT in the NTG group(P＜0.05).ROI1-left superior frontal gyrus,ROI1-right superior frontal gyrus,ROI2-left cingulate gyrus and ROI2-right middle frontal gyrus were significantly positively correlated with RNFLT(all P＜0.05).Compared with the HCs group,the brain regions with reduced FC to the right ROI in the NTG group were the left superior frontal gyrus and right superior frontal gyrus;the brain regions with reduced FC to the left ROI were the left cingulate gyrus and right middle frontal gyrus.Conclusion Compared to healthy individuals,NTG patients have significant changes in the functional connections between certain specific brain regions and V1 region,including bilateral superior frontal gyrus,left cingulate gyrus,and middle frontal gyrus.The changes in brain functional activity may be caused by visual dysfunction caused by NTG,leading to functional impairment of the visual and cognitive emotion processing brain regions,which may be one of the potential neuropathological mechanisms in NTG patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of unilateral percutaneous vertebroplasty(PVP)combined with 3D printing technology for the treatment of thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fracture.Methods A total of 77 patients with thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fractures from October 2020 to April 2022 were included in the study,all of which were vertebral body compression fractures caused by trauma.According to different treatment methods,they were di-vided into experimental group and control group.Thirty-two patients used 3D printing technology to improve unilateral transpedicle puncture vertebroplasty in the experimental group,there were 5 males and 27 females,aged from 63 to 91 years old with an average of(77.59±8.75)years old.Forty-five patients were treated with traditional bilateral pedicle puncture vertebroplasty,including 7 males and 38 females,aged from 60 to 88 years old with an average of(74.89±7.37)years old.Operation time,intraoperative C-arm X-ray times,anesthetic dosage,bone cement injection amount,bone cement diffusion good and good rate,complications,vertebral height,kyphotic angle(Cobb angle),visual analogue scale(VAS),Oswestry disability index(ODI)and other indicators were recorded before and after surgery,and statistically analyzed.Results All patients were followed up for 6 to 23 months,with preoperative imaging studies,confirmed for thoracolumbar osteoporosis com-pression fractures,two groups of patients with postoperative complications,no special two groups of patients'age,gender,body mass index(BMI),time were injured,the injured vertebral distribution had no statistical difference(P＞0.05),comparable data.Two groups of patients with bone cement injection,bone cement dispersion rate,preoperative and postoperative vertebral body height,protruding after spine angle(Cobb angle),VAS,ODI had no statistical difference(P＞0.05).The operative time,intra-operative fluoroscopy times and anesthetic dosage were statistically different between the two groups(P＜0.05).Compared with the traditional bilateral puncture group,the modified unilateral puncture group combined with 3D printing technology had shorter operation time,fewer intraoperative fluoroscopy times and less anesthetic dosage.The height of anterior vertebral edge,kyphosis angle(Cobb angle),VAS score and ODI of the affected vertebrae were statistically different between two groups at each time point after surgery(P＜0.05).Conclusion In the treatment of thoracolumbar osteoporotic compression fractures,3D printing technology is used to improve unilateral puncture PVP,which is convenient and simple,less trauma,short operation time,fewer fluoroscopy times,satisfactory distribution of bone cement,vertebral height recovery and kyphotic Angle correction,and good functional improvement.

Objective:Myelodysplastic syndrome(MDS)is a group of heterogeneous clonal disorders originating from hematopoietic stem cells,characterized by hemocytopenia and a high risk of transformation to acute myeloid leukemia(AML).The expected survival time of MDS patients varies widely,and accurate prognostic assessment is particularly important.Currently,patients with MDS are usually classified into a higher-risk group(HR-MDS)and a lower-risk group(LR-MDS)based on clinical prognostic scoring systems,but these scoring systems have certain limitations.Patients with LR-MDS account for 2/3 of MDS patients,with a lower risk of disease progression and a better prognosis,and their treatment mainly relies on erythropoiesis-stimulating agents,immunosuppressants and component transfusion.However,some LR-MDS patients still have poor prognosis,and the existing prognostic scoring systems cannot accurately evaluate their prognosis.In this review,the potential factors that may influence the prognosis of MDS patients beyond the existing assessment criteria were briefly summarized,with the aim of providing reference for the prognosis evaluation and treatment of LR-MDS patients.

Aim To explore the mechanism of Yanghe decoction-containing serum on the migration and inva-sion of MCF-7 breast cancer cells in a co-culture sys-tem with M2 tumor-associated macrophages(TAMs)based on the paracrine epidermal growth factor(EGF)/epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR)sig-naling pathway.Methods The M2-type TAMs model was induced from THP-1 monocytic cell line through in vitro treatment with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate(PMA)and recombinant human macrophage colony-stimulating factor(M-CSF).The MCF-7 cells were co-cultured with M2-type TAMs using a Transwell non-contact co-culture system to evaluate their effects on migration and invasion.Subsequently,the cells were intervened with serum containing Yanghe decoction,and the proliferation of MCF-7 cells was detected using the CCK-8 assay,while their lateral migration ability was assessed through scratch assays.The invasion and vertical migration abilities of the cells were evaluated separately using Transwell assays,and the concentra-tion of EGF was measured using ELISA.Finally,the expression of EGFR,MCP-1,and MMP9 proteins was detected using Western blot.Results Compared to the control group,Yanghe decoction-containing serum in-hibited the proliferation of MCF-7 cells before and after co-culture.The serum reduced the scratch healing a-bility before and after co-culture and decreased their migration and invasion abilities.Additionally,Yanghe decoction-containing serum reduced the levels of EGF before and after co-culture and decreased the expres-sion of EGFR,MCP-1,and MMP9 proteins before and after+co-culture.Conclusion Yanghe decoction-containing serum can inhibit the migration and invasion of breast cancer MCF-7 cells before and after co-cul-ture with M2 TAMs.This effect may be related to the inhibition of the EGF-EGFR signaling pathway.
