Studies have suggested that the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is implicated in the pathophysiology of major depression; however, the regulatory strategy that targets the NAc to achieve an exclusive and outstanding anti-depression benefit has not been elucidated. Here, we identified a specific reduction of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the subset of dopamine D1 receptor medium spiny neurons (D1-MSNs) in the NAc that promoted stress susceptibility, while the stimulation of cAMP production in NAc D1-MSNs efficiently rescued depression-like behaviors. Ketamine treatment enhanced cAMP both in D1-MSNs and dopamine D2 receptor medium spiny neurons (D2-MSNs) of depressed mice, however, the rapid antidepressant effect of ketamine solely depended on elevating cAMP in NAc D1-MSNs. We discovered that a higher dose of crocin markedly increased cAMP in the NAc and consistently relieved depression 24 h after oral administration, but not a lower dose. The fast onset property of crocin was verified through multicenter studies. Moreover, crocin specifically targeted at D1-MSN cAMP signaling in the NAc to relieve depression and had no effect on D2-MSN. These findings characterize a new strategy to achieve an exclusive and outstanding anti-depression benefit by elevating cAMP in D1-MSNs in the NAc, and provide a potential rapid antidepressant drug candidate, crocin.

In recent years, the combined surgery of phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation, and goniosychialysis has gradually emerged as a primary and effective approach in treating primary angle-closure glaucoma with cataracts. However, with the continuous progress of medical technology, postoperative intraocular pressure control is no longer the sole pursuit. Patients increasingly aspire to achieve higher postoperative visual quality. In order to ensure that patients attain a better refractive status and higher visual quality postoperatively, it is essential to minimize the negative impact caused by primary angle-closure glaucoma. This involves personalized selection of different intraocular lenses or calculation formulas,etc. Evaluation metrics for visual quality encompass visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, higher-order aberrations, subjective perception, etc. Therefore, this paper provides a comprehensive review of postoperative refractive shift, higher-order aberrations, contrast sensitivity and their influencing factors, and the selection of intraocular lenses for patients undergoing combined surgery for primary angle-closure glaucoma with cataracts.

Objective To investigate the popularization of cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)knowledge and science popularization needs among urban and rural residents in Tonghai County,Yuxi City,Yunnan Province,so as to explore the establishment of an efficient and appropriate science popularization model.Methods A total of 300 residents aged 15-60 years old were selected from Tonghai County,Yuxi City,Yunnan Province using stratified and simple random sampling methods.A self-designed questionnaire was used to conduct an anonymous questionnaire survey.Results Only 20.3%of Tonghai County residents master CPR skills,and 26.2%of Tonghai County residents have never heard of CPR.There is a statistically significant difference in the awareness rate of CPR between rural residents and non-rural residents(P<0.01).There are differences in residents'age and CPR awareness(P<0.01),the age and CPR are inversely proportional.The residents have a higher willingness to perform chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on strangers,66.2%and 68.6%respectively.63.79%of residents have never attended relevant training.But 92.76%of the people said they were willing to participate in the relevant training when they learned the training news.Conclusion Residents in Tonghai County generally lack knowledge of CPR first aid,but the demand for first aid knowledge of residential CPR is high and the attitude towards rescue is positive.It is recommended that relevant departments increase CPR science popularization and training efforts,and popularize CPR into villages.

【Objective】 To analyze the correlation of HBV serological characteristics between non-reproducible reactivity (NRR) samples and occult hepatitis B virus infection (OBI) samples for blood screening. 【Methods】 A total of 144 samples with negative ELISA (HBV, HCV and HIV test) results and reactive nucleic acid tests(NAT) were collected from January 2021 to January 2023 in Anhui Blood Center, including 92 reactive samples by TMA method (combined ID-NAT) and 52 HBV DNA reactive samples by PCR method (ID-NAT). Supplementary differential testing and ID-NAT by PCR were performed on the reactive samples of the combined ID-NAT, samples that were non-reactive by both differential testing and ID-NAT by PCR were included in the NRR group, and samples that were reactive for HBV DNA detected by either method were included in the OBI group. Supplemented with HBsAg, anti-HBs, HBeAg, anti-HBe and anti-HBc tests, the differences in serological pattern and positive rate between NRR samples and OBI samples were analyzed. 【Results】 A total of 53 samples were negative for differential testing and ID-NAT and were included in the NRR group, 91 samples were detected as HBV DNA reactive in either method and were included in the OBI group. HBsAg and HBeAg were not detected by serological testing in either group. The detection rates of anti-HBs, anti-HBc and anti-HBe in the NRR group and the OBI group were 64.15% vs 47.25%, 86.79% vs 94.51%, 35.85% vs 52.75%, respectively. Comparison of serological patterns between the two groups: the most frequent pattern in the NRR group was anti-HBs (+ ) and anti-HBc (+ ) (32.08%), and the most frequent pattern in the OBI group was anti-HBe (+ ) and anti-HBc (+ ) (37.36%). 【Conclusion】 There were differences in some of the test results between the NRR samples and the OBI samples in HBV serological testing, and higher anti-HBc positive rate in the NRR samples suggests a higher possibility of HBV infection.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of modified Simiaosan on miR-223-3p and NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 （NLRP3）/interleukin-1β （IL-1β） signaling pathway in rat model with acute gouty arthritis （AGA） and explore the anti-inflammatory mechanism of modified Simiaosan on AGA. MethodA total of 72 8-week-old male SD rats were selected. They were divided into blank group， model group， colchicine group （0.3 mg·kg^-1）， high-dose modified Simiaosan group （31.75 g·kg^-1）， medium-dose modified Simiaosan group （15.75 g·kg^-1）， and low-dose modified Simiaosan group （7.875 g·kg^-1） according to random number table method， with 12 rats in each group. Except for the blank group， monosodium urate （MSU） crystal suspension was injected into the right ankle joint of rats by the Coderre method in other groups to replicate the rat model with AGA. The drug administration groups were given the corresponding drug solution by gavage， and the model group and the blank group were given an equal volume of sterile sodium chloride solution by gavage for one week. The circumference of the rats' ankle joint was measured， and the swelling degree of the ankle joint was calculated. Hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining was used to detect the pathological morphological changes in the synovial tissue of the ankle joint. The levels of IL-1β， tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α）， and interleukin-6 （IL-6） in the serum of rats in each group were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay （ELISA）. Western blot was used to detect the protein expressions of NLRP3， Caspase-1， and apoptosis-related spot-like protein （ASC） in synovial tissue of rats in each group， and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction （Real-time PCR） was used to detect the mRNA expressions of NLRP3， Caspase-1， and ASC and the expression of miR-223-3p in synovial tissue of rats. ResultCompared with that in the normal group， the swelling degree of the ankle joint in the model group was higher （P<0.01）， and the synovial tissue structure was disordered. Synovial cells proliferated obviously， and a large number of inflammatory cells were infiltrated. The levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α in the serum of the model group increased significantly （P<0.01）， and the protein and mRNA expressions of NLRP3， Caspase-1， and ASC increased， while expression of miR-223-3 decreased. Compared with the model group， the swelling degree of ankle joint in the colchicine group and high-dose and medium-dose modified Simiaosan groups was lower （P<0.05）. Synovial cell proliferation and inflammatory cell infiltration of the colchicine group and high-dose， medium-dose， and low-dose modified Simiaosan groups were reduced to varying degrees， among which the colchicine group and high-dose modified Simiaosan group improved most obviously. The levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α in the serum of rats in different dose groups of modified Simiaosan and colchicine group decreased significantly （P<0.01）， while the protein and mRNA expressions of NLRP3， Caspase-1， and ASC increased （P<0.01）. The expression of miR-223-3p in synovial tissue of the medium-dose and high-dose modified Simiaosan groups and colchicine group increased significantly （P<0.01）. Compared with those in the colchicine group， the levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α in the low-dose modified Simiaosan group increased greatly （P<0.01）. In the medium-dose modified Simiaosan group， the protein expressions of NLRP3， Caspase-1， and ASC increased， and the expression of miR-223-3p decreased （P<0.05）. In the low-dose modified Simiaosan group， the levels of IL-1β， IL-6， and TNF-α increased greatly （P<0.01）， as well as the protein and mRNA expressions of NLRP3， Caspase-1， and ASC， while the expression of miR-223-3p was decreased （P<0.01）. ConclusionModified Simiaosan may play an anti-inflammatory role by intervening in the NLRP3/IL-1β signaling pathway via regulating miR-223-3p.

When partial nephrectomy is performed by posterior abdominal approach, the surgical field is poorly exposed, resulting in increased surgical difficulty and risk of injury.In this study, 28 patients with T 1a stage kidney tumors underwent retroperitoneal laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Intraoperatively, exposure of the surgical field was achieved using the percutaneous puncture of the renal fascia suspension technique. There were no dissatisfactory exposures due to peritoneal damage during the surgery, no additional tubes were inserted, and no conversions to open surgery were needed. The operation time was (76.5±20.3) minutes, blood loss was (92.1±18.7) ml, renal artery clamping time was (19.5±4.3) minutes. Postoperatively, there were no complications such as bleeding, infection, or hematuria.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of febuxostat in the treatment of hyperuricemia with hypertension.Methods:Randomized controlled trials (RCT) on the treatment of hyperuricemia with hypertension using febuxostat were retrieved from Medline, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Embase, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Database, and VIP Database from January 2013 to July 2023, according to the retrieval strategy. Two trained researchers completed the literature screening, quality evaluation, and data extraction. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3. The fixed-effect model or random-effects model was used to analyze the research data, and subgroup analysis was conducted to identify the source of heterogeneity.Results:A total of 5 RCTs involving 456 patients (228 in the experimental group and 228 in the control group) were included in the meta-analysis, all of which were English-language literatures and foreign studies. In the treatment of hyperuricemia with hypertension, febuxostat showed a statistically significant difference in reducing serum uric acid (sUA) levels compared to control drugs [MD(95% CI)=-1.31(-2.55, -0.07), P=0.040]; there was no statistically significant difference in reducing systolic blood pressure (SBP) [SMD(95% CI)=-0.12(-0.51, 0.27), P=0.540] or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) [SMD(95% CI)=-0.15(-0.40, 0.09), P=0.220]. Subgroup analysis showed that the difference in intervention drugs in the control group may be the cause of heterogeneity in sUA levels, and the difference in intervention time may be the cause of heterogeneity in SBP levels among different studies. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between the febuxostat group and the control group [RD (95% CI) =-0.01(-0.08, 0.06), P=0.770]. Conclusion:Febuxostat has a significant advantage in improving sUA levels and is relatively safe in the treatment of hyperuricemia with hypertension, but it does not show significant advantages in blood pressure control.

Neurodegenerative diseases are often associated with inflammatory mechanisms, where persistent or excessive inflammatory responses can lead to neuronal damage and subsequent pathological changes. In acute neurological conditions such as stroke or traumatic brain injury, inflammation is a key factor that triggers acute neuronal injury and long-term sequelae. In chronic neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, cognitive dysfunction, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis, the chronic activation of inflammation is closely related to gradual degeneration of neurons. Resolvin D1 (RvD1), an endogenous pro-resolving mediator, plays a crucial role in controlling the intensity and duration of inflammation by inhibiting excessive activation of immune cells, modulating the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and maintaining the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. This review focuses on the mechanisms of RvD1 in mediating inflammatory damage in major neurological diseases, aiming to provide theoretical support for a deeper understanding of disease mechanism, optimized therapeutic strategies, and enhanced outcome.
