[Objective]Childhood trauma(CT)is considered one of the major risk factors for developing major depres-sive disorder(MDD)in adulthood.However,the neural basis of MDD patients with CT(CT-MDD)remains poorly under-stood.Therefore,the objective of our study is to explore the resting-state global brain functional connectivity(FC)in CT-MDD.[Methods]A total of 34 CT-MDD and 34 healthy controls performed resting-state fMRI.Whole-brain voxel-level degree centrality(DC)analysis was performed,and the brain regions with significant differences between the two groups were selected as region of interest(ROI)for further estimating the global brain FC.Subsequently,correlation analysis was performed between DC values,FC values in abnormal brain areas and clinical characteristics.[Results]The CT-MDD group showed increased DC value of the right middle frontal gyrus(MFG)compared with the healthy controls.Seed-based FC revealed that the CT-MDD group showed increased connections between the left precuneus and the right MFG or the right medial prefrontal cortex,relative to healthy controls(threshold at P<0.05).Additionally,the DC value of the right MFG was correlated with the severity of CT.[Conclusion]Our results show the increased FC between the left precuneus and the ROI(right MFG)as well as the right medial prefrontal cortex,which are two important brain regions within the de-fault mode network(DMN),and might suggest increased synchronism between the cognitive executive networks and DMN in CT-MDD.These findings may provide insights into the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying CT-MDD.

Radiation-induced skin injury refers to the acute and chronic skin damage caused when skin is exposed to radiation. Radiation-induced skin damage may be created by nuclear disaster, radiation accident, radiation therapy, occupational exposure and so on. Approximately 95% of patients receiving radiotherapy will eventually develop into radiation-induced dermatitis during or after the treatment. As a consequence, how to appropriately prevent and remedy radiation-induced skin injury is of great practical significance. According to traditional Chinese medicine, radiation-induced skin injury belongs to fire, heat and toxin, blocking Qi and blood, injuring the muscle surface, affecting the distribution of Qi, blood and body fluid in the body, and damaging the function of viscera. This paper summarizes the cognition and development of traditional Chinese medicine theory of radiation-induced skin injury, as well as the research progress of internal and external treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, so as to provide a basis for the research and treatment of radiation-induced skin injury with traditional Chinese medicine.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE:To make a textual research on ethnic medicine Paederiae Herba,and to provide reference for further research and comprehensive development and utilization of Paederiae Herba. METHODS:Five materia medica works such as Compendium of Materia Medica Collection and Examination of Plant Names and Actual Maps,55 modern materia medica works such as Chinese materia medica and Flora of China published from 1960 to 2016,and a number of literatures were synthesized and sorted out. The name,original species,origins,harvesting and processing,flavor and meridian tropism and so on of P. scandens were studied. Its mainstream varieties were mainly clarified and use of them in various nationalities were sorted out. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The name of“Paederiae Herba”was first recorded in the Qing Dynasty’s Examination of Plant Names and Actual Maps. The main variety of Paederiae Herba was Paederia scandens (Lour.) Merr.,also known as “Jishiteng”. The medicinal part was the aboveground part. It distributed in bushes of hillsides,forests,forest margins,valleys and shrubs at an altitude of 200 to 2 000 meters or wound around shrubs. It was mainly produced in the Yangtze River Valley of China and its southern regions. The processing methods are mostly shade-drying or removing impurities,washing,cutting and drying. Its sweet, astringent,flat,and it can be used for digestion,pain relief,detoxification and clearing damp,and can be used for food retention, chest,abdomen and abdomen pain,eczema,sores,swelling and pain. It was used in the folk of Miao,Tujia and Zhuang nationalities in China. There are still some problems such as mixed varieties and different processing methods in the market circulation. All these have brought many challenges to the research of quality standard of Paederiae Herba.

[Objective]To investigate the value of degree centrality(DC),a novel resting-state fMRI parameter,in voxel-wise whole-brain functional networks analysis in primary insomnia(PI)after acupuncture therapy.[Methods]The resting state fMRI were performed in 29 PI patients and 22 age,education,and sex-matched normal healthy subjects. Analysis of DC map changes between the two patient groups and the control group were performed by two sample t test.(threshold at P<0.05).[Results]Compared with the control group,patients with PI showed significantly reduced DC value in middle temporal gyrus(MTG. R);hippocampus(HIP. B);parahippocampal gyrus(PHG. R);putamen(PUT. R);cuneus(CUN. L).[Conclusions]Changes of DC value occurred in some region of brain in the PI patient groups when compared with the control group. It was indicated that DC ,as a novel resting-state fMRI parameter in the voxel-wise whole-brain functional networks ,might be an appealing alternative approach for further study on pathologic and neuropsychological states of PI.
