ObjectiveBased on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), we investigated the brain activity characteristics of gross motor tasks in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and motor dysfunctions (MDs) to provide a theoretical basis for further understanding the mechanism of MDs in children with ASD and designing targeted intervention programs from a central perspective. MethodsAccording to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 48 children with ASD accompanied by MDs were recruited into the ASD group and 40 children with typically developing (TD) into the TD group. The fNIRS device was used to collect the information of blood oxygen changes in the cortical motor-related brain regions during single-handed bag throwing and tiptoe walking, and the differences in brain activation and functional connectivity between the two groups of children were analyzed from the perspective of brain activation and functional connectivity. ResultsCompared to the TD group, in the object manipulative motor task (one-handed bag throwing), the ASD group showed significantly reduced activation in both left sensorimotor cortex (SMC) and right secondary visual cortex (V2) (P<0.05), whereas the right pre-motor and supplementary motor cortex (PMC&SMA) had significantly higher activation (P<0.01) and showed bilateral brain region activity; in terms of brain functional integration, there was a significant decrease in the strength of brain functional connectivity (P<0.05) and was mainly associated with dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and V2. In the body stability motor task (tiptoe walking), the ASD group had significantly higher activation in motor-related brain regions such as the DLPFC, SMC, and PMC&SMA (P<0.05) and showed bilateral brain region activity; in terms of brain functional integration, the ASD group had lower strength of brain functional connectivity (P<0.05) and was mainly associated with PMC&SMA and V2. ConclusionChildren with ASD exhibit abnormal brain functional activity characteristics specific to different gross motor tasks in object manipulative and body stability, reflecting insufficient or excessive compensatory activation of local brain regions and impaired cross-regions integration, which may be a potential reason for the poorer gross motor performance of children with ASD, and meanwhile provides data support for further unraveling the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of MDs in the context of ASD and designing targeted intervention programs from a central perspective.

Objective To investigate the effects of parecoxib sodium injection combined with dexmedetomidine hydrochloride injection on postoperative cognitive function and stress response in patients with osteoporotic compression fractures.Methods The patients with osteoporotic compression fractures were divided into treatment group and control group according to the treatment plan.The control group was given intravenous injection of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride injection 0.2 μg·kg-1load dose,then micro pump injection 0.2 μg·kg-1·min-1 maintenance dose,until 30 min before the end of the operation;patients in the treatment group were intravenously injected with parecoxib sodium injection 20 mg before local anesthesia and 30 min before the end of operation on the basis of the control group.The pain,sedation,hemodynamics[mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR)],cognitive function and safety evaluation were compared between the two groups before operation(T0),2 h after operation(T1),6 h after operation(T2),12 h after operation(T3)and 24 h after operation(T4).Results There were 39 cases in the treatment group and 41 cases in the control group.Visual analogue scale(VAS)scores in treatment group and control group were(3.09±0.55)and(3.41±0.62)scores at T1;VAS scores were(3.02±0.57)and(3.35±0.48)scores at T2;VAS scores were(2.64±0.44)and(2.90±0.46)scores at T3;VAS scores were(2.02±0.41)and(2.35±0.47)scores at T4;MMSE scores were(25.28±1.57)and(24.33±1.42)scores at T2;MMSE scores were(28.16±1.01)and(27.25±0.89)scores at T4;MoCA scores were(24.63±1.60)and(23.59±1.25)scores at T2;MoCA scores were(27.20±0.97)and(26.48±0.83)scores at T4.There were statistically significant differences in the above indexes between the treatment group and the control group(all P＜0.05).Adverse drug reactions in the treatment group included bradycardia,hypotension,nausea vomiting and hypokalemia;adverse drug reactions in the control group included bradycardia,hypotension and nausea vomiting.The total incidence rates of adverse drug reactions were 12.82％and 9.76％,without statistically significant difference(P＞0.05).Conclusion Compared with using dexmedetomidine alone,parecoxib sodium combined with dexmedetomidine is beneficial for relieving postoperative pain in patients with osteoporotic compression fractures,improving postoperative cognitive function.

Objective To detect the levels of serum collagen type Ⅰ alpha 1 chain(COL1A1)and collagen type Ⅰ alpha 2 chain(COL1A2)in patients with intracranial aneurysm(IA),and explore their correlations with aneurysm rupture.Methods A total of 110 IA patients admitted to our hospital were regarded as the IA group and another 100 volunteers who underwent physical examination in our hospital were regarded as the control group.The expression levels of serum COL1A1 and COL1A2 were detected by ELISA.The IA patients were divided into the ruptured group(n=66)and unruptured group(n=44)according to the presence or absence of aneurysm rupture,and the clinical data and expression levels of serum COL1A1 and COL1A2 were compared between the two groups.The expression levels of serum COL1A1 and COL1A2 in patients with different Hunt-Hess grades were compared.The risk factors of aneurysm rupture in patients with IA were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis.The predictive value of serum COL1A1 and COL1A2 for aneurysm rupture in patients with IA were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve.The correlation of serum COL1A1 and COL1A2 with Hunt-Hess grade for patients in rupture group was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.Results The expression levels of serum COL1A1 and COL1A2 for patients in the IA group were significantly higher than those in the control group(P<0.05).The number of patients with hypertension,diabetes mellitus,hyperlipidemia,aneurysm diameter>10 mm,and the expression levels of serum COL1A1 and COL1A2 in the rupture group were significantly more/higher than those in the unruptured group(P<0.05).The expression levels of serum COL1A1 and COL1A2 in patients with Hunt-Hess grades from Ⅲ to Ⅳ were significantly higher than those in patients with grades from Ⅰ to Ⅱ(P<0.05).The expression levels of serum COL1A1 and COL1A2 for patients in the rupture group were positively correlated with Hunt-Hess grade(r=0.562,0.414,P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension,diabetes mellitus,aneurysm diameter>10 mm,and increased expression levels of COL1A1 and COL1A2 were risk factors for aneurysm rupture in IA patients(P<0.05).The area under the curve(AUC)of aneurysm rupture predicted by serum COL1A1 and COL1A2 together was significantly higher than that predicted by COL1A1 alone(Z=1.905,P=0.028)and COL1A2 alone(Z=1.754,P=0.040).Conclusion The increased expression levels of serum COL1A1 and COL1A2 are risk factors for aneurysm rupture in patients with IA,and their combined prediction of aneurysm rupture in IA patients has certain clinical value.

Objective To evaluate the differences in chemical composition and pharmacological effects between Angelica-Astragalus medicine pair decoction(DGD)and traditional decotion,and to provide a reference for the rational clinical application of Danggui Buxue decoction.Methods With the two comparison methods of unified and non-uniform raw material source batches,we set up different sample groups,established characteristic maps by HPLC,and evaluated the chemical components based on the similarity of characteristic maps,component types,index component content,common peak area,and other factors.The efficacy of the drug was evaluated in the hemorrhagic blood deficiency model mice.Results ①The similarity of the feature map between the DGD and TD was high(similarity was greater than 0.87).②The number of chromatographic peaks was inconsistent.Traditional decoction from self-purchased decoction pieces,or traditional decoction-Factory A decoction pieces had a total of 12 chromatographic peaks each.The DGD of Factory A had a total of 15 chromatographic peaks.There were 10 chromatographic peaks in the DGD of Factory B.③The contents of ferulic acid and calycosin 7-O-glucoside(CG)in DGD of Factory A were higher than those in traditional decoction(P<0.05,n=3).There was no significant difference between DGD and TD ferulic acid content in Factory B,but the content of CG was lower than that in traditional decoction(P<0.05).④The total area of common peaks in DGD was different from that in TD.The relative total ratios of the contents of the components in the self-purchased traditional decoction pieces,the traditional decoction pieces of Factory A,the formula granules of Factory A,and the formula granules of Factory B were 1.00,0.96,2.14,0.60,respectively.⑤Both DGD and traditional decoction could significantly promote the recovery of hemoglobin and red blood cells in hemorrhagic anemia model mice(P<0.01);Compared with the model control group,there was a significantly difference(P<0.05)except for the DGD group of Plant B.There was no significant difference between DGD and TD of Plant A,but there was a very significant difference between DGD and TD of Plant B(P<0.01).Conclusion Whether the raw material source batch is consistent or not,DGD and TD have certain differences in chemical composition.In terms of pharmacological effect,DGD,prepared from a unified batch of decoction pieces,has similar efficacy to traditional decoction in alleviating hemorrhagic anemia.There are certain differences in the pharmacological effects between DGD prepared from different batches of decoction pieces and traditional decoctions.The differences caused by the different preparation processes of the same source batch of prepared slices were compared,and the quality differences of the formula granules from different manufacturers were caused by the different source batches of prepared slices and different preparation processes,indicating the necessity and urgency of the country to formulate a unified quality standard for formula granules and related process specifications.

Objective To observe the effects of cervical dilation balloon combined with ethacridine lactate injection on termination of second-trimester pregnancy in women with scarred uterus and its impact on postpartum psychology of patients.Methods A total of 128 patients with scarred uterus in second-trimester pregnancy who underwent induced abortion in our hospital from January 2022 to December 2023 were selected and randomly divided into the observation group and the control group,with 64 cases in each group.Patients in the control group received traditional 150 mg oral mifepristone+ethacridine lactate injection 100 mg intraamniotic injection to induce labor;patients in the observation group received COOK cervical dilation balloon for promoting cervical maturation+150 mg oral mifepristone+esacridine lactate injection 50 mg intraamniotic injection to induce labor.The time of labor induction,the time of labor,the amount of postpartum hemorrhage,the total effective rate of labor induction,the incidence of soft birth canal injury and threatened uterine rupture,and the postpartum psychology of patients were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of labor induction of patients in the observation group was higher than that in the control group,the time of labor induction and the time of labor were shorter than those in the control group,the amount of postpartum hemorrhage was less than that in the control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups(P>0.05).The proportion of patients with positive Edinburgh postnatal depression scale(EPDS)in the control group was significantly higher than that in the observation group(t=10.818,P<0.05),and there was statistically significant differences in the ten emotional aspects of EPDS between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion For patients with scarred uterus in second-trimester pregnancy,COOK cervical dilation balloon for promoting cervical maturation+150 mg oral mifepristone+esacridine lactate injection 50 mg intraamniotic injection to induce labor has good effect,which is conducive to postpartum mental health.

ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility of applying electronic nose technology to rapidly identify Bletillae Rhizoma and its approximate decoction pieces. MethodA total of 134 batches of Bletillae Rhizoma and its approximate decoction pieces， including 45 batches of Bletillae Rhizoma， 30 batches of Gastrodiae Rhizoma， 30 batches of Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma and 29 batches of Bletillae Ochraceae Rhizoma， were collected as test samples. The olfactory sensory data of the samples were collected by PEN3 electronic nose as the independent variable（X）. Based on the identification results of the 2020 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia and local standards， as well as the high performance liquid chromatography（HPLC） fingerprint and original purchase information of 134 batches of the decoction pieces， the benchmark data Y of the identification model were obtained， and four chemometric methods of principal component analysis-discriminant analysis（PCA-DA）， partial least squares-discriminant analysis（PLS-DA）， least square-support vector machine（LS-SVM） and K-nearest neighbor（KNN） were used to establish the binary identification model for 45 batches of Bletillae Rhizoma and 89 batches of non-Bletillae Rhizoma and the quadratic identification model of the four kinds of decoction pieces， that is， Y=F（X）. ResultAfter leave-one-out cross validation， the positive discrimination rates of the above four models were 97.01%， 97.01%， 98.51% and 97.01% in the binary identification， and 97.76%， 89.55%， 98.51% and 97.01% in the quadratic identification， respectively. The highest positive discrimination rate could reach 98.51% for the binary and quadratic identification models， and LS-SVM algorithm is both the optimal one， the most suitable kernel functions were chosen as radial basis function and linear kernel function， respectively. The optimal models discriminated well with no unclassified samples. ConclusionElectronic nose technology can accurately and rapidly identify Bletillae Rhizoma and its approximate decoction pieces， which can provide new ideas and methods for rapid quality evaluation of other decoction pieces.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the relationship between the body mass index (BMI) levels and the negative conversion time of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) nucleic acid in adult coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and the asymptomatic persons. Methods　Asymptomatic infected patients and confirmed COVID-19 patients admitted to Chengdu Public Health Clinic Center from February 2021 to November 2021 were dynamically included. The epidemiological and clinical characteristics of the objects were collected, and the SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid testing of the objects during their hospitalization was continuously monitored, and the negative nucleic acid conversion time was recorded. The t test or Wilcoxon rank sum test, χ2 test or Fisher's exact probability method examine were used to distribute characteristics of each group of variables and the connection between different variables, respectively. Then the variables showed differences in distribution (P<0.05) between different BMI groups were included in the multivariate Cox proportional risk regression model. Results　A total of 253 subjects ranged from 18 to 63 years old, with M(P25, P75) age of 37.0 (30.0, 47.0) years old, were included in this study. The male to female ratio was 4.16 to 1. The BMI was (23.97±3.33) kg/m2. 50.59% (128/253) of the objects were overweight or obese, and 78.13% (100/128) were overweight. The negative time of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid conversion of all subjects ranged from 1 to 71 days, with M(P25, P75) of 7.0 (2.0, 18.0) days (P<0.001). The negative time of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid conversion of the normal weight or the thin, and the overweight or obese were 5.00 (2.00, 19.00) and 8.00 (2.00, 17.75) days respectively. The results of multivariate Cox's proportional hazards regression model showed that the BMI levels may not be associated with the negative conversion time of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid (HR=1.090, 95%CI: 0.843-1.410, P=0.510). Conclusions　Adult asymptomatic persons and confirmed COVID-19 patients are mainly middle-aged and young males, and overweight or obesity is relatively common. Overweight or obesity cannot be considered as an independent factor influencing the negative conversion time of SARS-CoV-2 nucleic acid.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the spatial patterns of the prevalence, awareness, treatment, and control rates of dyslipidemia at the provincial level in China. METHODS: A national and provincial representative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 178,558 Chinese adults in 31 provinces in mainland China in 2018-2019, using a multi-stage, stratified, cluster-randomized sampling design. Subjects, as households, were selected, followed by a home visit to collect information. Both descriptive and linear regression procedures were applied in the analyses. RESULTS: The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia was 35.6%, and wide geographic variations of prevalence, treatment, and control rates of dyslipidemia were identified among 178,558 eligible participants with a mean age of 55.1 ± 13.8 years. The highest-lowest difference regarding the provincial level prevalence rates were 19.7% vs. 2.1% for high low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, 16.7% vs. 2.5% for high total cholesterol, 35.9% vs. 5.4% for high triglycerides, and 31.4% vs. 10.5% for low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The treatment rate of dyslipidemia was correlated with the socio-demographic index ( P < 0.001), urbanization rate ( P = 0.01), and affordable basic technologies and essential medicines ( P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Prevailing dyslipidemia among the Chinese population and its wide geographic variations in prevalence, treatment, and control suggest that China needs both integrated and localized public health strategies across provinces to improve lipid management.

Objective: To further elucidate the clinical efficacy and safety of a combination regimen based on the BTK inhibitor zebutanil bridging CD19 Chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells) in the treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL) . Methods: Twenty-one patients with high-risk r/r DLBCL were treated with a zanubrutinib-based regimen bridging CAR-T between June 2020 and June 2023 at the Department of Hematology, Tongji Hospital, Tongji University and the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University, and the efficacy and safety were retrospectively analyzed. Results: All 21 patients were enrolled, and the median age was 57 years (range: 38-76). Fourteen patients (66.7%) had an eastern cooperative oncology group performance status score (ECOG score) of ≥2. Eighteen patients (85.7%) had an international prognostic index (IPI) score of ≥3. Three patients (14.3%) had an IPI score of 2 but had extranodal infiltration. Fourteen patients (66.7%) had double-expression of DLBCL and seven (33.3%) had TP53 mutations. With a median follow-up of 24.8 (95% CI 17.0-31.6) months, the objective response rate was 81.0%, and 11 patients (52.4%) achieved complete remission. The median progression-free survival (PFS) was 12.8 months, and the median overall survival (OS) was not reached. The 1-year PFS rate was 52.4% (95% CI 29.8% -74.3%), and the 1-year OS rate was 80.1% (95% CI 58.1% -94.6%). Moreover, 18 patients (85.7%) had grade 1-2 cytokine-release syndrome, and two patients (9.5%) had grade 1 immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome. Conclusion: Zanubrutinib-based combination bridging regimen of CAR-T therapy for r/r DLBCL has high efficacy and demonstrated a good safety profile.
