ObjectiveTo explore the possible mechanism of Tuina at Weizhong (BL 40) for relieving sciatica from the perspective of hippocampal synaptic plasticity. MethodsSixty SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, Tuina group, MK-801 group, MK-801 plus Tuina group, 12 rats in each group. After lateral ventricular cannulation, rats model with chronic compression injury of the right sciatic nerve were prepared in all groups except the sham operation group. On day 4 after modelling, rats in the Tuina group start Tuina at Weizhong (BL 40) for 10 mins once a day for a total of 14 days; rats in the MK-801 group started injecting with 0.25 μg/μl of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B (NR2B) blocker, dizocycline (MK-801), 0.5 μl of which was administered daily in the lateral ventricle for 14 days. Rats in the MK-801 plus Tuina group underwent Tuina after 30 mins when completing MK-801 injection in the lateral ventricle, in the same way as above; rats in the model group and the sham operation group did not undergo any intervention. Spontaneous pain behaviour scores and paw withdraw thresholds (PWTs) were examined on day 1 (base value) before modelling and on day 4, 10, 14 and 18 after modelling; and on day 19, the brain tissues of the rats in each group were sampled and the number and morphology of the Nysted-positive cells in the hippocampal CA3 region were observed using Nysted staining; and the number of synapses, the thickness of postsynaptic dense material, the length of active band and the curvature of synaptic interface in hippocampal CA3 region were observed by transmission electron microscopy; and the expression of synapse-associated proteins NR2B and postsynaptic density protein-95 (PSD95) in hippocampal CA3 was detected by immunofluorescence staining and immunoblotting. ResultsCompared with the same time in the sham operation group, spontaneous pain scores significantly increased and PWTs decreased on day 4, 10, 14, and 18 after modelling in the model group (P<0.05); compared with the model group, spontaneous pain scores in Tuina group of rats significantly decreased on day 10, 14, and 18 after modelling, and PWTs significantly increased on day 14 and 18 after modelling (P<0.05). Compared with Tuina group, spontaneous pain scores increased on day 10, 14, and 18 of modelling, and PWTs decreased at days 14 and 18 of modelling in the MK-801 plus Tuina group had higher spontaneous pain scores on days 10, 14, and 18 after modelling and lower PWTs on days 14 and 18 after modelling (P<0.05). Compared with the sham operation group, the neuronal arrangement in the hippocampal CA3 region of the rats in the model group was disordered, with decreased number of Nysted-positive cells and synapses, reduced thickness of postsynaptic densities, length of active bands, and curvature of synaptic interfaces, wider synaptic gaps, and decreased immunofluorescent positive expression of NR2B and PSD95 as well as the expression of immunoblotting proteins in hippocampal CA3 region (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, more dense arranged nerve cells, the number of Nysted-positive cells, the number of synapses, the thickness of postsynaptic dense material, the length of active bands increased, the synaptic gap became significantly narrower, and the positive expression of immunofluorescence and immunoblotting protein expression of NR2B, PSD95 increased in the rat hippocampal CA3 region of Tuina group (P<0.05). Compared with Tuina group, the neuronal morphology of the hippocampal CA3 region in MK-801 plus Tuina group was severely damaged, and the number of Nystrom's-positive cells, the number of synapses, the thickness of post-synaptic densities, the length of active bands, and the curvature of synaptic interfaces reduced, the synaptic gaps became wider, and the immunofluorescent positive expression of NR2B, PSD95, and the expression of immunostained proteins decreased (P<0.05). ConclusionTuina at "Weizhong" (BL 40) showed significant analgesic effect, and one of the possible mechanisms concluded as significantly increasing the levels of NR2B and PSD95 protein expression in hippocampal CA3 region and thus modulating the synaptic plasticity of the hippocampus.

Objective To explore the performance of a new multimodal feature fusion classification model based on distance matching and discriminative representation learning for differentiating high-grade glioma(HGG)from solitary brain metastasis(SBM).Methods We collected multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)data from 61 patients with HGG and 60 with SBM,and delineated regions of interest(ROI)on T1WI,T2WI,T2-weighted fluid attenuated inversion recovery(T2_FLAIR)and post-contrast enhancement T1WI(CE_T1WI)images.The radiomics features were extracted from each sequence using Pyradiomics and fused using a multimodal feature fusion classification model based on distance matching and discriminative representation learning to obtain a classification model.The discriminative performance of the classification model for differentiating HGG from SBM was evaluated using five-fold cross-validation with metrics of specificity,sensitivity,accuracy,and the area under the ROC curve(AUC)and quantitatively compared with other feature fusion models.Visual experiments were conducted to examine the fused features obtained by the proposed model to validate its feasibility and effectiveness.Results The five-fold cross-validation results showed that the proposed multimodal feature fusion classification model had a specificity of 0.871,a sensitivity of 0.817,an accuracy of 0.843,and an AUC of 0.930 for distinguishing HGG from SBM.This feature fusion method exhibited excellent discriminative performance in the visual experiments.Conclusion The proposed multimodal feature fusion classification model has an excellent ability for differentiating HGG from SBM with significant advantages over other feature fusion classification models in discrimination and classification tasks between HGG and SBM.
7.Design of a Conformal Ablation System Based on Independent Control of Radiofrequency Electrode Arrays
Chinese Journal of Medical Instrumentation 2024;48(5):549-554
This study aims to develop an independent control system for radiofrequency electrode arrays,intended for the conformal ablation of unwanted tissues.Unlike traditional single radiofrequency voltage applications,this study employs high-frequency transformer isolation and radiofrequency load matching technologies to divide the radiofrequency signal source into eight independent groups.Each group operates at the same phase and frequency but with different voltage values.Experimental results indicate that the designed system can independently output various combinations of radiofrequency signals.The actual output voltage has a relative error controlled within 6%,the frequency error is less than 0.5%,and the phase difference among the groups is less than 1°.In the biomimetic tissue heating experiments,it is found that by controlling the voltage of each electrode within the electrode array,ablation of different shapes can be achieved,and the ablation depth is positively correlated with the applied radiofrequency voltage.

Objective:To summarize the clinical characteristics, prognostic factors and treatment outcomes of childhood aggressive mature B-cell lymphoma after liver transplantation.Methods:This retrospective study included 18 children with newly diagnosed aggressive mature B-cell lymphoma after liver transplantation and treated from June 2018 to June 2022 in the Department of Hematology and Oncology of Shanghai Children′s Medical Center, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. Clinical characteristics, treatment and outcomes of patients at last evaluation were analyzed. Overall survival (OS) and event free survival (EFS) rates were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method and Log-Rank analysis was performed to find factors of poor prognosis.Results:Among all 18 patients, there were 6 males and 12 females, and the age of onset was 40 (35, 54) months. The interval from transplant to tumor diagnosis was 21 (17, 35) months and 5 patients had early onset disease (<1 year since transplant). Seventeen patients had abdominal lesions. Diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal masses were the main clinical manifestations. All patients were Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) related posttransplant lymphoproliferative disorders (PTLD). One patient received individualized therapy due to critical sick at diagnosis, and the remaining 17 patients received CP (cyclophosphamide, methylprednisolone plus rituximab) and (or) modified EPOCH (prednisone, etoposide, doxorubicin, vincristine, cyclophosphamide plus rituximab) regimens. Of all 18 patients, 15 cases got complete response, 2 cases got partial response, 1 patient died of severe infection. The 2-year OS and EFS rates of 18 patients were (94±5)% and (83±8)%, respectively. None of age, gender or early onset disease had effect on OS and EFS rates in univariate analysis (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The symptoms of PTLD were atypical. Close surveillance of EBV-DNA for patients after liver transplantation was crucial to early stage PTLD diagnosis. CP or modified EPOCH regimen was efficient for pediatric patients with aggressive mature B cell lymphoma after liver transplantation.
