ObjectiveStudies have shown that nuciferine has anti-cerebral ischemia effect， but the specific mechanism of action has not been elaborated. Based on the transcriptome results， the pharmacological mechanism of nuciferine against cerebral ischemia was analyzed from multiple dimensions including tissue， cell， pathological process， biological process and signaling pathway. MethodsThirty SD rats were randomly divided into the sham group， model group and nuciferine group（40 mg·kg^-1） according to weight. Except for the sham group， the model of middle cerebral artery occlusion（MCAO） was established by thread embolization method after 30 min of administration in the other two groups. Twenty-four hours after surgery， transcriptome sequencing was used to detect the gene expression profiles in the cortex penumbra of rat cerebral tissue， and gene ontology（GO） and kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes（KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis were performed for differentially expressed genes. The mechanismof nuciferine against cerebral ischemia was analyzed from 5 dimensions of tissue， cell， pathological process， biological process and signaling pathway by the transcriptome-based multi-scale network pharmacology platform（TMNP）. ResultsTranscriptome sequencing and gene quantitative analysis showed that 667 genes were significantly reversed by nuciferine. Further enrichment analysis of KEGG and GO suggested that the pathways of nuciferine involved regulating stress response， ion transport， cell proliferation and differentiation， and synaptic function. TMNP research found that at the tissue level， nuciferine could significantly improve the cerebral tissue injury caused by ischemia. At the cellular and pathological levels， nuciferine could play an anti-cerebral ischemia role by improving the state of various nerve cells， mobilizing immune cells， regulating inflammation. And at the level of biological processes and signaling pathways， nuciferine mainly acted on the processes such as vascular remodeling， inflammation-related signaling pathways， and synaptic signaling. ConclusionCombined with the results of transcriptome sequencing， gene quantitative analysis and TMNP， the mechanism of nuciferine against cerebral ischemia may be related to processes such as intervening in stress response and inflammation， affecting vascular remodeling and regulating synaptic function. These results can provide a basis and reference for further study of the pharmacological mechanism of nuciferine against cerebral ischemia.

As for the diagnosed age of ASD children， after training， the average age was lower than that before training ［（34.95±11.67） vs. （42.2±14.64）， t=-2.553， P=0.019］. ConclusionTraining of ASD early screening skills for medical staffs in primary care hospitals may help to improve their ability to early screening ASD children.

ObjectiveTo investigate the preventive effect and mechanism of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and naringin on postoperative intestinal adhesion in rats. MethodThe preventive effect of Aurantii Fructus Immaturus and naringin on intestinal adhesion was studied by cecal scraping model of rats， the model rats were randomly divided into model group， dexamethasone sodium phosphate group and Aurantii Fructus Immaturus low， medium and high dose groups （1.58， 3.15， 6.30 g·kg^-1·d^-1）， tsham-operated group was treated with an incision in the abdomen. Adhesion was assessed by Nair method after 7 d of administration. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to observe the pathological morphology and inflammatory cell infiltration of cecum， the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 （MMP-9） in cecal adhesion was detected by immunohistochemistry. Meanwhile， intestinal adhesion model rats were randomly divided into model group， dexamethasone sodium phosphate group， naringin low， medium， high dose groups （50， 100， 200 mg·kg^-1·d^-1）， and the sham-operated group was treated with an incision in the abdomen. Adhesion was assessed after 7 d of administration， HE staining was used to observe the pathological morphology and inflammatory cell infiltration in the cecum， and the expression of MMP-9 in the cecal adhesion tissue was detected by immunohistochemistry. Expressions of transforming growth factor-β₁ （TGF-β₁） and α-smooth muscle actin （α-SMA） in cecum were analyzed by western blot. ResultAurantii Fructus Immaturus could inhibit the formation of postoperative intestinal adhesions in rats， reduce the inflammatory response of damaged cecum tissue， and up-regulate the expression of MMP-9 in the adherent tissue in a dose-dependent manner. All dose groups of naringin could significantly inhibit the formation of postoperative intestinal adhesions in rats， reduce inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrous proliferation in tissue， up-regulate the expression of MMP-9 in the adherent tissue in a dose-dependent manner， and inhibit the expression of TGF-β₁ and α-SMA in cecal tissue. ConclusionAurantii Fructus Immaturus and naringin can reduce postoperative intestinal adhesion formation in rat model， and their effects may be related to reducing tissue fibrosis and accelerating extracellular matrix degradation.

OBJECTIVES: Safe and effective anticoagulation is essential for hemodialysis patients who are at high risk of bleeding. The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of two-stage regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) combined with sequential anticoagulation and standard calcium-containing dialysate in intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) treatment. METHODS: Patients at high risk of bleeding who underwent IHD from September 2019 to May 2021 were prospectively enrolled in 13 blood purification centers of nephrology departments, and were randomly divided into RCA group and saline flushing group. In the RCA group, 0.04 g/mL sodium citrate was infused from the start of the dialysis line during blood draining and at the venous expansion chamber. The sodium citrate was stopped after 3 h of dialysis, which was changed to sequential dialysis without anticoagulant. The hazard ratios for coagulation were according to baseline. RESULTS: A total of 159 patients and 208 sessions were enrolled, including RCA group (80 patients, 110 sessions) and saline flushing group (79 patients, 98 sessions). The incidence of severe coagulation events of extracorporeal circulation in the RCA group was significantly lower than that in the saline flushing group (3.64% vs. 20.41%, P<0.001). The survival time of the filter pipeline in the RCA group was significantly longer than that in the saline flushing group ((238.34±9.33) min vs. (221.73±34.10) min, P<0.001). The urea clearance index (Kt/V) in the RCA group was similar to that in the saline flushing group with no statistically significant difference (1.12±0.34 vs. 1.08±0.34, P=0.41). CONCLUSIONS Compared with saline flushing, the two-stage RCA combined with a sequential anticoagulation strategy significantly reduced extracorporeal circulation clotting events and prolonged the dialysis time without serious adverse events.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of CT thin-section target reconstruction technique in patients with pulmonary small size groud glass nodules (sGGN).Methods A total of 109 patients with pulmonary sGGN certified post-operation and/or follow up were analyzed retrospectively,and the clinical and CT images of all patients were completely collected.There were 23 cases of benign group,21 cases of adenocarcinoma in situ group,29 cases of minimally invasive adenocarcinoma group and 36 cases of invasive adenocarcinoma group,respectively.The differential diagnostic value using CT thin-section target reconstruction technique was analyzed between the benign and malignant pulmonary sGGN groups,and the CT feature detection rates were compared between CT thin section target and common reconstruction techniques.Results The CT thin-section target reconstruction technique had improved the diagnostic efficiency of pulmonary sGGN.The diagnostic accuracy,area under curve(AUC),sensitivity and specificity were 85.32 ％,0.679,90.80 ％,63.64 ％ in malignant group and 77.06％,0.764,83.72％,52.17％ in benign pulmonary sGGN group,respectively.The CT features as solid component in whole nodule,"halo sign",speculation sign,pleural retraction sign,lobulation sign were more detected by using the thin-section target reconstruction technique than that by using the common reconstruction among adenocarcinoma in situ group,minimally invasive adenocarcinoma group and invasive adenocarcinoma group (P＜0.05) but not speculation sign in the invasive adenocarcinoma group(P=0.126).Conclusion The CT thin section target reconstruction technique can improve the diagnostic value of pulmonary sGGN.

Objective To investigate the value of dynamic three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasound (3D-CEUS) in evaluating therapeutic response of hepatoma treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA).Methods Totally 48 cases of patients with hepatic carcinoma (48 lesions) admitted in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from September 2012 to January 2014 were selected.All patients underwent radiofrequency ablation,of which 30 patients were diagnosed by pathology after surgery,18 patients by clinical diagnosis.All patients underwent two-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasound (2D-CEUS) and 3D-CEUS 1 month and 3 months after RFA treatment to evaluate the therapeutic response,and the results of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and enhanced computed tomography (CT) [or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)] were compared.The final diagnostic results of pathologic biopsy or more than two imaging examinations [ultrasonography,CT,MRI,positron emission tomography (PET)],tumor markers,and more than 3 months follow-up of patients were used as the gold standard.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of dynamic 3D-CEUS,2D-CEUS,enhanced CT (or MRI) in the diagnosis of tumor inactivation were calculated respectively.Results After radiofrequency ablation,dynamic 3D-CEUS could provide more valuable information in 75.0％ (36/48) lesions,which contribute to assess the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation.While compared with 2D-CEUS,3D-CEUS did not change the diagnosis or clinical management in 12 (25.0％) lesions.40 of 48 lesions were found no-enhancement in entire CEUS procedure suggesting that the tumor completely inactivated,while 8 lesions showed local enhancement on the edge of lesion suggesting that part of the tumors were active.39 of 48 lesions showed no-enhancement and other 9 with irregular enhancement on enhanced CT (or MRI).The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of CEUS and enhanced CT (or MRI) in detection of residual tumor after radiofrequency ablation were 80.0％,100％,95.8％ and 80.0％,97.4％,93.8％,respectively.Conclusions There was no statistical significance among 3D-CEUS,2D-CEUS and enhanced CT or MRI in evaluating therapeutic response of hepatoma treated with radiofrequency ablation.But 3D-CEUS can provide more valuable information,3D-CEUS has potential usefulness in the evaluation of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of hepatic tumors.

Objective To evaluate the consistency of fetal brain ultrasound screening and neurosonogram (NSG) with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),and the clinical values of ultrasound and NSG in the diagnosis of fetal nervous system abnormalities,and the values of NSG in the diagnosis of fetal brain malformations.Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 221 gravidas who were diagnosed with fetal brain development abnormality by ultrasound screening or NSG in Peking University First Hospital between January 2012 and July 2015 and received fetal brain MRI within one week after ultrasound examination.According to the saved images,the 221 cases were divided into two groups:fetal brain ultrasound basic screening group (111 cases) which had three basic transverse planes and NSG group (110 cases) which had ten basic transverse planes.There were four conditions according to the diagnostic results of ultrasonography and MRI:ultrasonography and MRI suggesting the same diseases (A);ultrasonography and MRI suggesting the same diseases,but MRI providing more information for diagnosis (B);ultrasonography and MRI suggesting different diseases (C);ultrasonography suggesting abnormal,but MRI suggesting normal (D).Diagnostic results of ultrasonography and MRI were respectively comparatively analyzed in the two groups.T-test and Chi-test were used for statistical analysis.Results The diagnostic results for NSG group and fetal brain ultrasound basic screening group were listed as follows:A:70.9％(78/110) and 44.1％(49/111);B:7.3％ (8/110) and 8.1％ (9/111);C:3.6％ (4/110) and 21.6％ (24/111);D:18.2％ (20/110) and 26.1％ (29/111).The consistency with MRI results was higher in NSG group than that of fetal brain ultrasound basic screening group (x2=18.985,P＜0.001).Conclusions Compared with fetal brain ultrasound basic screening,NSG provides more consistent results with MRI,suggesting its great clinical value in the diagnosis of fetal nervous system malformations.

Passive leg raising is widely used in clinic, but it lacks of specialized mechanical raise equipment. It requires medical staff to raise leg by hand or requires a multi-functional bed to raise leg, which takes time and effort. Therefore we have developed a new medical electric leg-raising machine. The equipment has the following characteristics: simple structure, stable performance, easy operation, fast and effective, safe and comfortable. The height range of the lifter is 50-120 cm, the range of the angle of raising leg is 10°-80°, the maximum supporting weight is 40 kg. Because of raising the height of the lower limbs and making precise angle, this equipment can completely replace the traditional manner of lifting leg by hand with multi-functional bed to lift patients' leg and can reduce the physical exhaustion and time consumption of medical staff. It can change the settings at any time to meet the needs of the patient;can be applied to the testing of PLR and dynamically assessing the hemodynamics; can prevent deep vein thrombosis and some related complications of staying in bed; and the machine is easy to be cleaned and disinfected, which can effectively avoid hospital acquired infection and cross infection; and can also be applied to emergency rescue of various disasters and emergencies.
