This article reported a case of a patient with schizophrenia who experienced self-perceived fever and discomfort after taking atypical antipsychotic drugs with strong alpha 1 receptor antagonism,which included olanzapine,risperidone,paliperidone and clozapine.Such phenomenon was believed to be a medication side effect.Therefore,the patient switched to aripiprazole and the fever disappeared.This case report is intended to remind psychiatrists to pay attention to the side effects caused by atypical antipsychotic drugs with strong alpha 1 receptor antagonism as well as to suggest that various factors should be considered,including mechanisms of drug action,patient pathophysiology and individual differences,in order to improve treatment compliance and prognosis.

Bipolar disorder(BD)is a complex mental illness characterized by mood fluctuations,excitability and impaired functioning.Anxiety in BD patients frequently leads to increased clinical symptoms,worse social functioning,and a higher risk of suicide.Current research on BD with anxiety symptom primarily examined clinical characteristics,prevalence and treatment,with limited focus and inconsistent findings on its neuro-biogenetic mechanisms.The findings in this area were also inconsistent.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),known for its non-invasive nature and high resolution,is extensively utilized in investigating disease mechanisms.Consequently,this paper gave a comprehensive review on the progress in brain imaging on BD patients with anxiety symptom,seeking to discern stable changes in brain structure and function,thereby enrich our understanding of the neurobiological etiology of this condition and offer valuable insights for clinical diagnosis and treatment strategies making.This paper covered 14 original studies and synthesized their findings on brain structure and function.Conclusively,the changes of brain functional activities in BD patients with anxiety symptom mainly involve the prefrontal lobe,posterior cingulate cortex,temporal lobe and angular gyrus,while the changes of brain structure mainly involve the left hippocampus and middle frontal gyrus,but the consistency of the research results needs to be enhanced.The research in this field is not sufficient,and more homogeneous clinical samples and larger longitudinal studies are needed to verify and supplement the above results.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological features of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in Beijing, and monitor the sequence variations in RSV glycoprotein (G) gene and clinical features of infected children.Methods:Respiratory tract specimens were collected from children with acute respiratory infection in the Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023. RSV-positive specimens screened by multiple nucleic acid testing were subjected to PCR to amplify the full-length RSV G gene. A phylogenetic tree was constructed after gene sequencing to analyze RSV subtypes and trace G gene variants. Clinical data were retrieved from the medical record system to analyze the clinical features of children with RSV infection in Beijing.Results:A total of 5 489 respiratory specimens were collected from 3 046 male patients and 2 443 female patients. The average age of the patients was 4.36 years. A total of 589 RSV-positive specimens (10.7%, 589/5 489) were detected with 349 from male patients and 240 from female patients. The average age of children with RSV infection was (2.51±2.78) years and the median age was 0.48 years. RSV had been circulating among children in Beijing since March 2023 with two epidemic peaks in May (24.6%, 122/496) and December (18.2%, 126/693). The predominant subtype of RSV in the first half of 2023 was subtype A, but it was replaced by subtype B from November 2023. Phylogenetic analysis revealed a novel G gene of RSV subtype B (RSV-B-BA9-954bp) with a length of 954 bp, which belonged to a new cluster in the phylogenetic tree. The percentage of patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) was higher in children with new variant of RSV subtype B infection than in those with common RSV subtype B infection [44.1% (15/34) vs 25.2% (31/123), χ 2=4.600, P=0.032], while the counts of white blood cells and the levels of C-reactive protein were lower in the children with new variant infection ( P<0.05). Conclusions:RSV has been prevalent among children in Beijing since March 2023 with two epidemic peaks. The predominant A subtype is gradually replaced by to B subtype. A new variant of RSV B G gene (RSV-B-BA9-954bp) is detected among the children.

Objective:To analyze the differentially expressed genes of human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) subtype A genotype ON1, a predominant genotype in Beijing, after infecting A549 cells using transcriptomic sequencing, and provide potential targets for RSV prevention and treatment.Methods:A local strain (61397-ON1) identified by whole-genome sequencing as ON1 genotype of RSV subtype A was selected to infect A549 cells. Total mRNA was extracted, and the differentially expressed genes in infected and uninfected A549 cells were screened by transcriptomic sequencing. GO analysis and KEGG pathway analysis were performed. Besides, six genes with differential expression ratio greater than two times were randomly selected for qRT-PCR verification.Results:There were 1 632 differentially expressed genes between infected and uninfected A549 cells, of which 807 genes were up-regulated and 825 genes were down-regulated. The differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in immune response-related biological processes such as cytokine response and positive regulation of MAPK cascades, and were enriched in MAPK signaling pathway, NOD-like receptor signaling pathway, p53 signaling pathway, TNF signaling pathway, IL-17 signaling pathway and NF-κB signaling pathway. The results of qRT-PCR for six differentially expressed genes were consistent with the trend of transcriptome data.Conclusions:The differentially expressed genes of RSV A subtype ON1 genotype after infecting A549 cells are mainly involved in cytokine response and immune-related signaling pathways. This study provides basic data for further study of the molecular mechanism of RSV infection and the development of prevention and treatment strategies.

Trigeminal neuralgia(TN)is a common neurological disease in clinical practice,which often causes unbearable pain to patients.This paper reported a rare case of idiopathic TN after external carotid artery stenting(ECAS)and analyzed the cause.It is considered to be related to the compression and impact to the trigeminal nerve from the blood flow of the maxillary artery which had been improved after ECAS.TN was effectively relieved after treatment with carbamazepine,and not any discomfort was observed at 1-week follow-up after discharge.Currently,TN of this patient has been well controlled.Since there are no any relevant reports in clinical practice,this case report is provided to clinical physicians for reference and discussion.

Objective To explore the optimization for parameters of 5.0T pseudo continuous arterial spin labeling(pCASL)MRI of whole brain.Methods Nine healthy adults were prospectively enrolled,and single-delay pCASL scanning was performed based on a 5.0T MR scanner with 3 sets of labeling gradients:Group A,average gradient(Gavg)=1 mT/m and the ratio of maximum gradient(Gmax)to Gavg(Gratio)=10,group B,Gavg=0.6 mT/m and Gratio=10,group C,Gavg=0.3 mT/m and Gratio=9.The labeling efficiency and cerebral blood flow(CBF)of 3 groups were compared to screen the best labeling gradient group.Results When the marked average blood flow velocity was 40 cm/s,the gradient field tolerance of group C was better than that of group A and B at the situation of reduced B1+and larger B0 offset frequency range.Under the gradient field of group C,the level of labeled artery B1 ranged from 54.19％to 75.36％,with an average of 64.71％.The labeling efficiencies of group C were all ≥85％,and all ≥90％at the average B1 level(64.71％).In the whole gray matter and almost all brain regions,CBF on pCASL under gradient field of group C was significantly higher than that of group A and B(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Low Gavg and low Gmax were the optimal parameters for 5.0T whole brain pCASL MRI.

Objective To analyze the risk factors for postoperative gastroparesis syndrome (PGS) in gastric cancer patients undergoing laparoscopic radical gastrectomy (LRG) and to construct and validate a nomogram prediction model for PGS. Methods The clinical data of 439 gastric cancer patients were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into PGS group and control group based on whether PGS occurred within 2 months after surgery. Logistic regression analysis was used to screen for risk factors of PGS in LRG patients, and a nomogram prediction model was constructed based on the screening results. The discriminative ability of the nomogram was assessed by the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, and its consistency was evaluated by the calibration curve. Results Among 439 patients, 52 developed PGS, with an incidence rate of 11.85%. The proportions of patients aged ≥60 years, complicating with diabetes, having a history of abdominal surgery, complicating with pyloric obstruction, having surgery duration ≥4 hours, and intraoperative anastomosis type of B-Ⅱ were higher in the PGS group than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The results of multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes, a history of abdominal surgery, pyloric obstruction, surgery duration ≥4 hours, and intraoperative anastomosis type of B-Ⅱ were risk factors for PGS in LRG patients (P < 0.05). Internal validation results showed that the area under the ROC curve was 0.839 (95%CI, 0.773 to 0.905), the calibration curve fitted well, and the Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test result was good(χ²=9.078, P=0.247). Conclusion Diabetes, a history of abdominal surgery, pyloric obstruction, surgery duration ≥4 hours, and intraoperative anastomosis type of B-Ⅱ are risk factors for PGS in LRG patients. The nomogram constructed based on these factors can effectively predict the risk of PGS in LRG patients.

Primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) is still one of the common blinding eye diseases in China.Because of the irreversibility of the vision loss it caused, the factors affecting the early development of glaucoma are of great concern.The understanding of static anatomic structure of high-risk anterior segment, such as shallow anterior chamber, short axial length, thick iris and large anterior lens cannot fully explain the transformation process of PACG, so the specific role of dynamic changes in the development of glaucoma should be further considered.This article expounded the differences in iris volume and dynamic process of elasticity between normal people and patients with PACG, the incoordination between lens and intraocular structure during eyeball development, the dynamic block and expansion of ciliary body, vitreous and choroid, and the latest research on the relationship between the abnormal ocular nerve and vascular system adjustment and change with the onset of PACG, in order to provide guidance for understanding the pathogenesis of PACG, accurate clinical diagnosis and formulation of treatment strategies.

OBJECTIVE To compare anti-ischemic stroke （IS） effect of different extraction parts from Gastrodia elata， and to provide reference for screening the anti-IS effective parts of G. elata. METHODS G. elata was extracted and separated by ethanol reflux extraction and ethyl acetate extraction. The rat model of diffuse cerebral thrombosis was induced by internal carotid artery injection of arachidonic acid （AA）； the anti-IS effect of G. elata powder， ethanol extract of G. elata， residue of ethanol extract of G. elata， ethyl acetate extract of G. elata， residue of ethyl acetate extract of G. elata， gastrodin and aspirin （positive control drug） were investigated with the content of Evans blue （EB） in the ischemic brain tissue as index. RESULTS Compared with model group， aspirin， ethanol extract of G. elata and ethyl acetate extract of G. elata could significantly decrease the content of EB in the ischemic brain tissue of model rats （P＜0.05）. G. elata powder had the tendency to reduce the content of EB in the ischemic brain tissue of model rats， without statistical significance （P＞0.05）. The residue of ethanol extract of G. elata， residue of ethyl acetate extract of G. elata and gastrodin had little effect on the content of EB in the ischemic brain tissue of model rats. CONCLUSIONS Both ethanol extract of G. elata and ethyl acetate extract of G. elata have anti-IS effects， which are stronger than that of G. elata powder.

To evaluate bioequivalence and safety of two kinds of metformin hydrochloride sustained-release tablets (test preparation vs reference preparation) under the condition of fed and single administration.A single center, randomized, open, single-dose, two-period, two-sequence, and double-crossover design was used.32 healthy subjects took 0.5 g of test preparation or reference preparation under fed and single-dose administration.4 mL of venous blood was collected from before administration (0 h) to 1, 3, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, 24, 36 and 48 h after administration.The concentration of metformin in plasma samples was detected, and then the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by WinNonlin 7.0 software.When the 90% confidence intervals of cmax, AUC0-t and AUC0-∞ geometric mean ratio of test preparation and reference preparation were within 80.00%-125.00% equivalent intervals respectively, the bioequivalence of the two preparations was proved.One subject fell off due to adverse events.The main pharmacokinetic parameters of test preparation and reference preparation as follows: cmax were (0.68 ± 0.14) and (0.65 ± 0.11) mg/L, AUC0-t were (7.33 ± 1.65) and (7.00 ± 1.89) h·mg/L, AUC0-∞ were (7.39 ± 1.67) and (7.06 ± 1.91) h·mg/L, respectively.The 90% confidence intervals of the geometric mean ratio of the two main pharmacokinetic parameters were 101.45%-109.14%, 100.08%-112.32% and 100.24%-112.28%, respectively, which fell within the bioequivalence interval of 80.00%-125.00%.There were no serious adverse events and unexpected adverse events during the trial.The results show that test preparation and reference preparation are bioequivalent under fed and single-dose administration, safe and well tolerated in healthy subjects.
