Ankylosing spondylitis （AS） is an inflammatory autoimmune disease with chronic low back pain as the main clinical manifestation， which mainly affects the axial joints， peripheral joints and various organs. In severe cases， the spine is stiff or deformed， which affects the quality of life and health of patients. The pathogenic factors of AS are complex， which are related to heredity， immunity and intestinal flora. The pathogenesis of AS is not clear yet. Among them， inflammatory reaction， bone destruction and heterotopic ossification are the main pathological features of AS， which play an important role in the disease process of AS. Traditional Chinese medicine has multi-target， multi-channel and multi-component pharmacological effects， which can prevent and treat AS by anti-inflammation， inhibiting bone destruction and preventing heterotopic ossification， and the clinical effect is remarkable， but there is no relevant literature report. Therefore， this review expounds the relationship between inflammatory reaction， bone destruction and heterotopic ossification and the occurrence and development of AS， and summarizes the latest research reports of traditional Chinese medicine in treating AS from anti-inflammatory， inhibiting bone destruction and preventing heterotopic ossification， aiming at providing reference and new ideas and directions for further research on the prevention and treatment of AS by traditional Chinese medicine.

Objective:To describe the current situation of mental health service utilization of community pa-tients with five mental disorders in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and provide reference for health education and formulating relevant policies.Methods:The multistage stratified sampling method with unequal probability was used to select a total of 12 315 community residents aged 18 and over in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.Using Composite International Diagnostic Interview,mood disorders,anxiety disorders,substance use disorders,intermit-tent explosive disorders,and eating disorders,and health service utilization were investigated.Descriptive statistics was completed by single factor analysis method.Results:The lifetime rates of consultation and treatment of any mental disorder were 18.7％and 10.2％,respectively.The highest proportion of patients received treatment by non-medical professionals was 31.4％,followed by psychiatrists in psychiatric hospital or psychologists in general hospitals.Among the patients,1.1％of them received medication,and 2.5％received psychotherapy.Conclusion:The utilization rate of mental health services in community patients with five mental disorders is relatively low.It is necessary to conduct health education for medical help seeking properly.

Objective:To explore the effects of internet-based group cognitive-behavioral therapy(IGCBT)on the depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with major depressive disorder(MDD).Methods:Eighty pa-tients with MDD were recruited and randomly divided into IGCBT combined drug therapy group and control group with drug therapy.Blind assessments were performed using the Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD)and Hamilton Anxiety Scale(HAMA)three times at baseline,4 weeks after treatment and 8 weeks after treatment,respectively.Results:The effective rates of HAMD and HAMA at the end of the 4th and 8th week,and the effective rates of HAMA at the end of the 8th week were higher in the combined treatment group than those in the control group(Ps＜0.05).The total scores of HAMD and HAMA in the combined treatment group and the control group were lower at the end of the 4th and 8th week than those at baseline(Ps＜0.001).The total scores of HAMD and HAMA were lower in the combined treatment group than those in the control group at the baseline,4 weeks and 8 weeks after treatment(Ps＜0.01).Conclusion:It suggests that intemet-based group cognitive-behavioral therapy combined with antidepressant medication has a better effect on relieving depressive and anxiety symptoms in patients with ma-jor depressive disorder than drug therapy alone,and especially has a better effect on improving anxiety symptom.

Objective To screen Cuproptosis genes and characteristic genes for differential prognosis in acute mye-loid leukemia(AML)and explore their prognosis in AML as well as their biological roles and correlations in the immune and tumor microenvironment.Methods AML clinical,transcriptome,genomic,and copy number data were downloaded from three major databases,TCGA,GEO,and UCSC,and Cuproptosis genes were collected from published studies.From the perspective of multiomics,the effects of Cuproptosis gene and characteristic gene on survival,immunity,tumor microenvironment,stem cell correlation and drug sensitivity were studied by various bioinformatics methods,meta-analysis and secondary typing.Results One Cuproptosis gene was identified as a differential prognostic gene in AML and five characteristic genes were identified as influencing the prognosis of AML patients by influencing Cuproptosis,and a prognostic model was established.The differential genes were mainly concentrated in mitochondrial activity,REDOX enzyme and energy metabolism.In terms of immunity,macrophage M0,neutrophils,activated memory CD4 T cells and Tregs were positively correlated with risk score,while macro-phage M2,resting mast cells,immature CD4 T cells,helper follicular T cells and memory B cells were negatively correlated with risk score.In terms of tumor microenvironment,the immune cell score of the low-risk group was lower than that of the high-risk group,and in the total score,the tumor microenvironment score of the low-risk group was also lower than that of the high-risk group,indicating that the tumor purity of the high-risk group was lower than that of the low-risk group.However,there was no significant association between stem cells in the high-risk and low-risk groups,and a total of 14 drugs were found to be sensitive to treat AML.Conclusion Cuproptosis gene and characteristic gene are closely related to immune and tumor microenvironment in AML by constructing a prognostic model of AML.

Background To date,pharmacologic therapy is considered the standard first-line treatment for insomnia disorder,but there are still some concerns over the adverse reactions.Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation(rTMS)and cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia(CBT-I)as an alternative to pharmacologic therapy have the advantages of fewer side effects and better patient tolerance in the treatment of chronic insomnia disorder.Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of rTMS and CBT-I on chronic insomnia disorder,so as to provide a novel therapeutic option for the treatment of chronic insomnia disorder.Methods A total of 50 patients with chronic insomnia disorder attending the outpatient clinic of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Mental Health Center or community hospital from September 21,2020 to December 16,2021 and fulfilling the International Classification of Sleep Disorders,third edition(ICSD-3)diagnostic criteria were enrolled.Additionally,16 age-and sex-matched healthy controls recruited from the community were set as control group.Patients were randomly divided into rTMS group and CBT-I group,25 cases in each group,and received rTMS or CBT-I intervention for 6 weeks respectively.At enrollment and completion of intervention,patients were subjected to Polysomnography(PSG),Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI),Insomnia Severity Index(ISI)and Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status(RBANS).All participants underwent resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(rs-fMRI)scans,and amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation(ALFF)was calculated.The brain regions with statistically different ALFF values between patient group and control group were chosen as regions of interest(ROIs),and whole-brain seed-based functional connectivity analyses were conducted.Results After a 6-week intervention in the two groups,the main effect of time was significant for PSQI(F=41.160,P<0.05),ISI(F=69.615,P<0.05)and RBANS immediate memory(F=47.923,P<0.05),language(F=12.090,P<0.05)and delayed memory indices(F=28.193,P<0.05).A significant main effect of time for total sleep time(F=8.995,P<0.05),a significant main effect of time for sleep efficiency(F=12.414,P<0.05),a significant main effect of group for sleep efficiency(F=4.342,P<0.05)and a significant main effect of time for N1%(F=7.806,P<0.05)were observed.Sleep efficacy in CBT-I group improved significantly from pre-to post-test(t=-2.785,P<0.05).Patients in rTMS group showed increased functional connectivity between the orbital superior frontal gyrus and other regions including left lentiform nucleus putamen(t=4.991,P<0.05),right median cingulate and paracingulate gyri(t=4.471,P<0.05)and right postcentral gyrus(t=4.922,P<0.05),and increased functional connectivity between the orbital superior frontal gyrus and left middle frontal gyrus was found in CBT-I group(t=6.586,P<0.05).Conclusion rTMS and CBT-I may help alleviate insomnia and improve cognitive function of patients with chronic insomnia disorder.

Background The mental health problems of employees in administrative organs and public institutions are highly valued.However,there is a lack of understanding regarding the mental health status of employees in provincial and municipal administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region.Objective To analyze the anxiety and depression of employees in provincial and municipal administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region,so as to provide references for promoting their mental health and intervening in psychological problems.Methods From October 23 to 28,2022,a total of 3 096 employees in provincial and municipal administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region were enrolled using stratified cluster sampling technique,and were assessed using Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS)and Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS).Results A total of 1797(58.04％)employees in municipal and above administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region completed a valid questionnaire survey.Depressive symptoms were noted in 579(32.22％).SDS scores yielded statistical difference among the selected employees of different ethnicities,types of job positions and educational levels(F=9.074,101.488,4.477,P<0.01),and the severity of depressive symptoms also demonstrated statistical difference among the selected employees with different ethnicities,educational levels and types of job positions(H=49.196,17.028,160.848,P<0.01).Anxiety symptoms were detected in 711(39.57％)employees.SAS scores exhibited statistical difference among the employees with different genders,ages,ethnicities,educational levels,marital status and types of job positions(t=-4.571,F=6.648,3.950,5.243,12.008,22.253,P<0.01).Statistical differences were also illustrated in the severity of anxiety symptoms among the selected employees with different ages,genders,ethnicities,educational levels,marital status and types of job positions(H=24.361,-3.788,28.365,24.268,25.976,56.204,P<0.01).Conclusion About one-third of employees in municipal and above administrative organs and public institutions in Qinghai region may have symptoms of depression and anxiety.The depression symptoms are more severe among Tibetan people,those with low education levels and ordinary civil servants.The anxiety symptoms are more severe among employees aged 30 and below,those with low education levels,unmarried and those in technical positions.

Objective: To summarize the treatment and prognosis of children with primary vesicoureteric reflux (PVUR) and the correlation between PVUR and urinary tract infections(UTI). Methods: The children with PVUR (72 cases) who were hospitalized at the Department of Nephrology and Urology of Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from June 2007 to April 2018 were selected, and the clinical manifestations were summarized. Results: A total of 72 patients (52 boys, 20 girls) were involved, and the median age at diagnosis was 8 months, in which 44 cases (61.1%) were less than 1 year old.There were 55 cases with UTI onset (76.4%), 94.5%(52/55 cases) with recurrent UTI(twice or more than twice) and 2 cases (2.8%) ended with renal failure.Refluxes were unilateral in 34 patients and bilateral in 38 patients.There were 110 ureters, in which 74 reflux ureters (67.3%) were identified as low-grade (Ⅰ-Ⅲ) PVUR, and 36 reflux ureters(32.7%) were high-grade (Ⅳ-Ⅴ) PVUR.Forty patients received conservative treatment, and significant differences of the remission rate were observed between group Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade PVUR(72.2%, 13/18 cases) and group Ⅲ-Ⅴ grade PVUR(32.5%, 13/40 cases)(χ²=7.92, P=0.005). Twenty-two patients (35 reflux ureters) underwent surgical treatment, in which 31 ureters were cured, and the remission rate was 88.6%.Ten patients with refluxes grade Ⅲ or above had no improvement after medical treatment, but the reflux was completely relieved after surgical treatment. Conclusions Children with recurrent UTI, especially less than 1 year-old, should be considered with PVUR.The conservative treatment could be prior for the patients with Ⅰ-Ⅱ grade PVUR.The surgical treatment could be chosen for those patients who suffered from high-grade PVUR, bilateral reflux or failed conservative treatment, especially with recurrent UTI, and reflux nephropathy could be reduced then.

Objective: To investigate the short-term clinical efficacy of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration(LCBDE) with primary suture or T tube drainage in the management of choledocholithiasis. Methods: The retrospective cohort study was conducted from January 2014 to December 2018 with the clinical data of patients with choledocholithiasis being analyzed. A total of 863 patients were enrolled in this study. There were 431 males and 432 females. The median age was 60 (range 11 to 94). These patients had received LCBDE with primary suture (n=287) and T tube drainage (n=576) in the Department of General Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University. Observation indicators: (1)Preoperative blood biochemistry, including blood serum levels of total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, ALT, AST, GGT. (2) Intraoperative conditions, including operation time, blood loss, diameter of common bile duct, number of common bile duct stone.(3)Short-term postoperative conditions, including postoperative hospital stay, postoperative complications. Measurement data with non-normal distribution were described as M (P₂₅, P₇₅), and comparison between groups was done using Mann-Whitney U test. Comparison of count data between groups were analyzed using the chi-square test. Univariate analysis and subsequent multivariable logistic regression were used to investigated the factors affecting the selection of surgical methods. Results: (1) Blood serum levels of total bilirubin and direct bilirubin in the T tube drainage group were 17.0(12.2, 36.0) μmol/L, 7.6(4.9, 19.0) μmol/L, which were significantly higher than those of the primary suture group[15.7(11.8, 29.7) μmol/L, 6.7(4.4, 16.5) μmol/L)](Z=-2.023, -2.468, P<0.05). Preoperative blood serum levels of ALT, AST and GGT in the T tube drainage group were 56.7 (26.6, 128.8) U/L, 38.0(24.3, 75.8) U/L and 179.7(50.8, 394.4) U/L, the primary suture group were[68.2(24.8, 165.3) U/L, 35.5(22.8, 96.9) U/L and 235.2(74.9, 459.1) U/L], with no difference between the two groups (Z=-0.985, -0.437, -1.740, P>0.05). (2)The operation time of the primary suture group was 85(70, 100) min, which was significantly shorter than that of the T tube drainage group[97(75, 120) min](Z=-5.532, P<0.05). The diameter of common bile duct in the primary suture and T tube drainage group were 1.0(0.8, 1.2) cm and 1.0(0.8, 1.2) cm, respectively. Significant difference was observed between the two groups(Z=-2.071, P<0.05). The intraoperative blood loss in the primary suture and T tube drainage group were 20(10, 50) ml and 20(20, 50) ml, with no difference between the two groups (Z=-0.477, P>0.05). 61.32%(176/287) and 67.36%(388/576) of patients in the primary suture group and T tube drainage group were found with multiple stones in the common bile duct, with no difference between the two groups (χ²=3.083, P>0.05). (3)The primary suture group showed shorter postoperative hospital stay compared with the T tube drainage group[4(3, 5) d vs 6(5, 6) d, Z=-12.057, P<0.05]. The primary suture group showed more patients with bile leakage (2.09%) compared with that of the T tube drainage group (0.35%). Multivariable logistic regression showed that the number of common bile duct stone, diameter of common bile duct, time period of surgery, surgery group were significant factors affecting the selection of surgical methods(OR=1.687, 2.423, 0.587, 4.632, 95%CI: 1.152-2.470, 1.519-3.865, 0.511-0.675, 3.698-5.802, P<0.05). Conclusions Although different surgeons showed different opinions with the method of primary suture, laparoscopic common duct exploration with primary suture is safe and reliable in the management of choledocholithiasis with shorter operation time and faster postoperative recovery. T tube drainage is not absolutely necessary in the management of choledocholithiasis. Patients with multiple common bile duct stone or large diameter of common bile duct are likely to receive T tube drainage.
