ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy of high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in M1 region combined with dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) on electroencephalogram (EEG) θ frequency band amplitude of patients with neuropathic pain (NP) after spinal cord injury. MethodsFrom June, 2022 to June, 2023, 50 NP patients after SCI in Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital were included and divided into M1 region stimulation group (n = 25) and M1 region combined with DLPFC stimulation group (the combined stimulation group, n = 25). M1 region stimulation group received 10 Hz rTMS in the left M1 region, while the combined stimulation group received same stimulation in left M1 region combined with DLPFC, for three weeks. Before and after intervention, the pain was assessed with Short Form of McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ), the depression and anxiety status were evaluated using Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), and the EEG θ frequency band amplitude was recorded to detect the changes of brain electrophysiological activity. ResultsFour cases in M1 region stimulation group, and two cases in the combined stimulation group were dropped. After intervention, the total score of SF-MPQ and the scores of the subscales, the scores of HMMD and HAMA decreased in both groups (|t| > 2.523, P < 0.05). The EEG θ frequency band amplitude significantly reduced in the prefrontal and frontal regions in M1 region stimulation group (|t| > 5.243, P < 0.001), and it also significantly reduced in the prefrontal, frontal regions, central and parietal regions in the combined stimulation group (|t| > 4.630, P < 0.001). All the scores were lower (|t| > 2.270, Z = -1.973, P < 0.05), and the EEG θ frequency band amplitude in the prefrontal, frontal regions, central and parietal regions were lower (P < 0.05) in the combined stimulation group than in M1 region stimulation group. ConclusionHigh frequency rTMS is an effective analgesic method on NP after SCI, which can improve their depression and anxiety symptoms and reduce the EEG θ frequency band amplitude. Compared with M1 region rTMS stimulation, the combination of M1 region and DLPFC rTMS is more effective.

Aim To investigate the therapeutic effect of the MW-9 on ulcerative colitis(UC)and reveal the underlying mechanism, so as to provide a scientific guidance for the MW-9 treatment of UC. Methods The model of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-stimulated RAW264.7 macrophage cells was established. The effect of MW-9 on RAW264.7 cells viability was detected by MTT assay. The levels of nitric oxide(NO)in RAW264.7 macrophages were measured by Griess assay. Cell supernatants and serum levels of inflammatory cytokines containing IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β were determined by ELISA kits. Dextran sulfate sodium(DSS)-induced UC model in mice was established and body weight of mice in each group was measured. The histopathological damage degree of colonic tissue was assessed by HE staining. The protein expression of p-p38, p-ERK1/2 and p-JNK was detected by Western blot. Results MW-9 intervention significantly inhibited NO release in RAW264.7 macrophages with IC50 of 20.47 mg·L-1 and decreased the overproduction of inflammatory factors IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α(P<0.05). MW-9 had no cytotoxicity at the concentrations below 6 mg·L-1. After MW-9 treatment, mouse body weight was gradually reduced, and the serum IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α levels were significantly down-regulated. Compared with the model group, MW-9 significantly decreased the expression of p-p38 and p-ERK1/2 protein. Conclusions MW-9 has significant anti-inflammatory activities both in vitro and in vivo, and its underlying mechanism for the treatment of UC may be associated with the inhibition of MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective To analyze the influencing factors for catheter-associated infection(CAI)in chemotherapy treated patients after indwelling peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC)based on a random forest model.Methods 400 tumor patients who received chemotherapy and PICC were selected and divided into the training set(n=300)and the test set(n=100)in a 3∶1 ratio through computer-generated random number.Patients in the training set were subdivided into the non-infection group and the infection group based on the occurrence of infec-tion.Clinical data from two groups of patients were compared.Influencing factors for the occurrence of CAI after PICC were analyzed with multivariate logistic regression model and the integrated classification algorithm of random forest model,and the predictive performance of the two methods was compared.Results Among 300 chemotherapy treated patients in the training set,32 cases(10.67％)experienced CAI.Compared with the non-infection group,patients in the infection group had more single punctures for catheterization,longer PICC retention time,larger pro-portion of catheter movement,larger proportion of complication with diabetes,higher frequency of dressing chan-ges,lower white blood cell count and immune function(all P＜0.05).PICC retention time,catheter movement,complication with diabetes,dressing change frequency,white blood cell(WBC)and immune function were inde-pendent influencing factors for CAI after PICC(all P＜0.05).The random forest model showed that ranking by the importance of different influencing factors was as following:PICC retention time,catheter movement,complication with diabetes,WBC,dressing change frequency and immune function.The integrated classification algorithm of random forest model for predicting the occurrence of CAI in chemotherapy treated patients showed that the area un-der the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve(AUC)was 0.872,which had better prediction performance compared with the logistic regression model(AUC=0.791).Conclusion PICC retention time,catheter movement,complicated with diabetes,dressing change frequency,WBC level and immune function are independent influencing factors for CAI in chemotherapy treated patients.The integrated classification algorithm of random forest model can be used to predict CAI in chemotherapy treated patients,and its prediction performance is better than that of the logistic regression model.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of leech freeze-dried powder combined with scorpion freeze-dried powder on carotid artery thrombosis in rats. METHODS FeCl3 was used to induce carotid artery thrombosis, and the experiment was divided into 6 groups: sham-operated group(sham group), model group, leech freeze-dried powder group(leech group), whole scorpion freeze-dried powder group(scorpion group), leech+scorpion half-dose group(half-dose group), leech+scorpion full-dose group(full-dose group), 6 rats in each group. The inhibition rate of bilateral carotid artery thrombosis was calculated after the final administration. The activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT), plasma prothrombintime(PT), plasma fibrinogen(FIB), and prothrombin time(TT) were measured by platelet aggregation and coagulation factor analyzer. The levels of plasma tissue-type plasminogen activator(t-PA) and plasminogen activatorinhibitor-I(PAI-I) were measured by ELSIA, and the thrombosis of each group was observed by HE staining. RESULTS Compared with model group, the wet weight and dry weight of thrombus were reduced in the leech, scorpion, half-dose and full-dose groups, and the full-dose group had the best effect in inhibiting thrombus formation. Compared with sham group, APTT, PT, TT was shortened, FIB content increased and t-PA level decreased in model group; compared with model group, APTT, PT, TT was prolonged, FIB content decreased and t-PA level increased in each dose group. The PAI-Ⅰ was not significantly different in each group. A large number of thrombus were seen in the blood vessels of model group. Compared with model group, there were significantly fewer thrombus in the leech, scorpion and half-dose groups, and almost no significant thrombus in the full-dose group. CONCLUSION Leech freeze-dried powder combined with scorpion freeze-dried powder inhibited carotid artery thrombosis in rats by affecting coagulation function and fibrinolytic system.
