[Objective]To summarize the academic experience of Professor ZENG Qingqi in the use of classical prescription in the diagnosis and treatment of insomnia combined with reproductive system diseases.[Methods]Through clinical follow-up studying,reading ancient books,Professor ZENG's clinical experience in treating insomnia and reproductive system diseases was analyzed from the aspects of the treatment of insomnia with classical prescription,the treatment ideas of reproductive system diseases with classical prescription,and the concept of homotherapy for heteropathy in Chinese medicine for insomnia combined with reproductive system diseases,which was supported by medical cases.[Results]Professor ZENG's treatment of insomnia combined with reproductive system diseases follows the concept of homotherapy for heteropathy in Chinese medicine,advocating the use of the"five differentiation"diagnostic and treatment mode based on Chinese medicine viewpoint,such as body differentiation,disease differentiation,syndrome differentiation,local differentiation and micro differentiation,and paying attention to promoting medication according to the situation,combining warming and clearing,dredging and tonifying.It is believed that the key to the effectiveness of classical prescription in treating insomnia combined with reproductive system diseases lies in dealing with the problems of"suppressing hyperactivity"and"releasing",emphasizing the reconciliation between the relationship of heart(brain),heart and kidney,and not only dredging to treat the symptoms,but also cultivating and replenishing to treat the root cause.The patient in case one was of insomnia combined with impotence,identified as liver depression and Qi stagnation,spleen and kidney deficiency syndrome,modified Sini Powder and Shenqi Pills was used in treatment.Case two was of insomnia combined with menstruation,identified as disconnection of the heart and kidney,deficiency cold of Chong Ren and blood stasis blocking the uterus,treated with Huanglian Ejiao Decoction and Zhizishi Decoction combined with Wenjing Decoction.Both used classical prescriptions and achieved good results.[Conclusion]Professor ZENG specializes in the treatment of insomnia combined with reproductive system diseases with the use of meridian prescription,flexible identification,and appropriate prescription,with precise efficacy,its rich clinical experience is worth clinical learning and further promotion.

The theory of yin and yang is the modest differentiation thought of the traditional Chinese medicine under the guidance of overall dialectics,and the dynamic changes of yin and yang profit and loss can reflect the life activities of the human body.In the early literature research and clinical practice,the author's team found that the"yang deficiency and yin stagnation"is the key pathogen of colorectal cancer,the yang qi is insufficient,and the metabolites of the yin such as phlegm,wetness and stasis are lost in gasification and accumulate to form a"yin tumor",which is stagnant in the intestine and forms colorectal cancer.Yang Qi is the process of normal cell metabolism to produce energy,Yang Qi is insufficient,the"yin knot"of the thing in the body polymerizes into tumors,The imbalance of yin and yang can cause changes in energy or substance metabolism in the body,and glutamine is one of the amino acid which is the largest consumption of tumor cells,and its metabolic process not only provides a material basis for tumor cell growth,but also creates an acidic microenvironment of hypoxia to promote the proliferation and growth of tumor cells.This paper discusses the characteristics of glutamine metabolism of colorectal cancer cells in detail,aiming to explain the occurrence of colorectal cancer from the pathogenesis of"yang deficiency yin knot",and to explain the scientific theory of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of coloral cancer with the principle of Wenyang Tongxia,aiming to provide new ideas and methods for the comprehensive treatment of CRC.

Objective:To develop a Cognitive Assessment Scale for Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Rehabilitation and conduct reliability and validity tests in community-dwelling patients with SCI.Methods:Based on expectation value theory, social cognition theory, and goal setting theory, a Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation was developed through literature review, group discussions, patient trials, and expert verification. From February to December 2021, convenience sampling was used to select 231 community-dwelling patients with SCI as research subjects, including 67 community-dwelling patients with SCI who participated in rehabilitation training at Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center and 164 patients with SCI in the "Hope Home" WeChat group of Shanghai Sunshine Rehabilitation Center. Research subjects were surveyed using the Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation (patient version), 9-item depression scale of Patient Health Questionnaire, 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale, EuroQol 5 Dimension-Visual Analogue Scale (EQ-VAS), General Self-Efficacy Scale, and general information questionnaire. SPSS 16.0 software and Amos 21.0 software were used for correlation analysis and reliability and validity testing.Results:The Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation (patient version) included two primary dimensions, eight secondary dimensions, and 24 items. The trial showed good results among patients with SCI and their caregivers, and experts generally agreed. Exploratory factor analysis found that the scale were divided into recognition dimension and understanding dimension. Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale was 0.98, the correlation coefficient between each item and its corresponding dimension was 0.75 to 0.88, and our results indicated good test-retest reliability. Correlation analysis showed that patient anxiety and depression scores were negatively correlated with rehabilitation cognitive scores ( P<0.05), and self-efficacy, quality of life were positively correlated with rehabilitation cognitive scores ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:The Cognitive Assessment Scale for SCI Rehabilitation is scientific and feasible, with good reliability and validity, and can be used to evaluate the rehabilitation cognition of community-dwelling patients with SCI.

Research on the mechanisms of depression is currently a focus of the field of neuroscience.The degeneration of brain plasticity(e.g.,decrease in volume,structural degradation,and functional disorder of the hippocampus,PFC,and CG)leads to depression.Exercise is an important means of improving the symptoms of depression.Current research confirms the importance of improving the volume,structure,and function of the hippocampus,PFC,and CG,in this process,but related research has focused solely on changes to the volume of certain brain regions or connectivity functions.Thus,we lack a comprehensive understanding of the antidepressant mechanisms that improve brain plasticity with exercise.Therefore,this study aimed to explore the roles of brain plasticity in the occurrence of depression and improvements to depression through exercise,promoting a more comprehensive understanding the role of brain plasticity in depression.We also provide new ideas for exercise intervention in depression.

Purpose To investigate whether ketogenic diet(KD)can promote cognition by regulating brain metabolism and neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease model mice.Materials and Methods Twenty male APP/PS1 mice were randomly assigned to either a KD group(APP/PS1+KD)or a regular diet group(APP/PS1),with 10 mice in each group.Additionally,10 wild-type C57BL/6 male mice served as the control group.The APP/PS1+KD group was fed with a ketogenic feed,the APP/PS1 group received a regular diet,and the control group was maintained on standard chow for a duration of 4 months.Blood ketone levels of mice were monitored after 4 weeks and 4 months of continuous feeding.Cognitive function was assessed via the morris water maze.18F-FDG and 18F-DPA-714 micro PET/CT were performed to evaluate the effects of KD on glucose metabolism and neuroinflammation across various brain regions in the Alzheimer's disease mice.Following PET/CT imaging,brain tissue samples were collected,and the hippocampal Cal region was selected for paraffin sectioning to detect the expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 through immunofluorescence analysis.Results In the Morris water maze in the fourth month,compared with the control group,the APP/PS1 group had a significantly longer escape latency on days 3-4(P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Compared with the control group,the APP/PS1 group showed a significant decrease in relative 18F-FDG uptake in brain regions such as the striatum,hippocampus,dorsal thalamus,central gray matter,superior colliculus,olfactory bulb,and midbrain(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Compared with the APP/PS1 group,the APP/PS1+KD group showed a significant increase in relative 18F-FDG uptake in the hippocampus and dorsal thalamus(P＜0.01).Compared with the control group,the APP/PS1 group showed a significant increase in relative uptake of 18F-DPA-714 in brain regions such as the striatum,hippocampus and hypothalamus(P＜0.05 or P＜0.001).Compared with the APP/PS1 group,the APP/PS1+KD group decreased the relative uptake of 18F-DPA-714 in the hippocampus(P＜0.01).Compared with the control group and APP/PS1+KD group,the fluorescence intensity of glial fibrillary acidic protein and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 protein in the brain(hippocampus)of APP/PS1 group mice was significantly increased(both P＜0.01).Conclusion KD has the potential to ameliorate cognitive and behavioral deficits in APP/PS1 mice by enhancing brain metabolism and attenuating neuroinflammation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognosis of duodenal neuroendocrine neoplasms.Methods:The clinical data of 35 patients with duodenal neuroendocrine neoplasms admitted to Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science & Technology from Jan 2012 to Dec 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The differences of clinical characteristics between periampullary and non-periampullary duodenal neuroendocrine neoplasms were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier curve was used for survival analysis, and the clinical factors affecting the prognosis were analyzed.Results:Of the 35 patients, 30 underwent tumor resection, 7 (23%) developed different degree of complications after operation and were improved and discharged after intervention. A total of 5 patients died during the follow-up period. Only 1 of 30 patients who underwent tumor resection died 30 months after operation due to disease progression, and the others had no recurrence or metastasis. Univariate analysis showed that tumor size, tumor grade, and tumor location were associated with the prognosis of patients (all P<0.05), and multivariate analysis showed that patients with tumors located.Away from the ampulla had a significantly better prognosis than those located around the duodenal ampulla ( P<0.01). Conclusions:Patients with duodenal neuroendocrine neoplasms have a good prognosis after complete resection; patients with duodenal neuroendocrine neoplasms located around the ampulla of Vater have a relatively poor prognosis compared with those away from the area of ampulla.

BACKGROUND: LY01005 (Goserelin acetate sustained-release microsphere injection) is a modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist injected monthly. This phase III trial study aimed to evaluated the efficacy and safety of LY01005 in Chinese patients with prostate cancer. METHODS: We conducted a randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial across 49 sites in China. This study included 290 patients with prostate cancer who received either LY01005 or goserelin implants every 28 days for three injections. The primary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients with testosterone suppression ≤50 ng/dL at day 29 and the cumulative probability of testosterone ≤50 ng/dL from day 29 to 85. Non-inferiority was prespecified at a margin of -10%. Secondary endpoints included significant castration (≤20 ng/dL), testosterone surge within 72 h following repeated dosing, and changes in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prostate specific antigen levels. RESULTS: On day 29, in the LY01005 and goserelin implant groups, testosterone concentrations fell below medical-castration levels in 99.3% (142/143) and 100% (140/140) of patients, respectively, with a difference of -0.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], -3.9% to 2.0%) between the two groups. The cumulative probabilities of maintaining castration from days 29 to 85 were 99.3% and 97.8%, respectively, with a between-group difference of 1.5% (95% CI, -1.3% to 4.4%). Both results met the criterion for non-inferiority. Secondary endpoints were similar between groups. Both treatments were well-tolerated. LY01005 was associated with fewer injection-site reactions than the goserelin implant (0% vs . 1.4% [2/145]). CONCLUSION: LY01005 is as effective as goserelin implants in reducing testosterone to castration levels, with a similar safety profile. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04563936.

Objective:To explore the value of Caprini risk assessment scale and serum D-dimer in early prediction of postoperative lower extremities deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumor.Methods:A total of 240 patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumors treated in Union Hospital of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from Jan to Oct 2020 were analyzed retrospectively.Results:Caprini score was 4 in 8 cases, 5-7 in 217 cases, and 8 in 15 cases. Sixty-seven patients developed lower extremity DVT after operation. No patients with Caprini score of 4 had DVT, 57 cases (26.3%) with a score of 5-7 had DVT; 10 cases whose score were ≥8 points (66.7%) developed DVT. There was a higher incidence of lower extremity DVT in patients ≥8 points than those of 5-7 points after surgery ( P<0.01). The postoperative Caprini score of the DVT group was higher than that of the non-DVT group (6.37±1.01 vs. 5.80±0.94, t=4.108, P<0.001). D-dimer on the first day after operation in DVT group (4.08±2.27 vs. 2.01±1.04, t=7.715, P<0.001) and the level of serum D-dimer (2.93±1.81 vs. 2.30±1.21, t=2.631, P<0.001) on day 3 was higher than that in the non-DVT group. According to the ROC curve, the best cut-off value for serum D-dimer to predict lower extremity DVT on the first postoperative day was 2.84 mg/L, the sensitivity was 70.1%, the specificity was 87.3%, and the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.815. The best cut-off value of D-dimer for predicting lower limb DVT on day 3 after surgery was 1.67 mg/L, sensitivity was 85.1%, specificity was 34.7%, and AUC was 0.611. Conclusions:Patients with gastrointestinal malignant tumors have a high incidence of postoperative lower extremity DVT. When the serum D-dimer exceeds 2.84 mg/L on the first postoperative day, the likelihood of postoperative lower extremity DVT is higher.
