Journal of Apoplexy and Nervous Diseases 2025;42(4):306-309
Objective To investigate the features of non-motor symptoms and transcranial substantia nigra ultrasound in essential tremor (ET). Methods General data were collected from 50 patients with ET and 50 healthy controls,and non-motor symptom scales and transcranial nigra sonography (TCS) were used for assessment. The t-test,the non-parametric test,and the chi-square test were used for comparison of general data,scale assessment results,and TCS findings between the two groups. Results There were significant differences between the ET group and the healthy control group in the total scores of NMSS,MoCA,HAMA,HAMD,PSQI,ESS,and FSS and the incidence rates of cognitive impairment,moderate or severe anxiety,poor sleep,and daytime sleepiness,while there were no significant differences in the incidence rates of moderate or severe depression and fatigue between the two groups. There were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of “hyperechoic area of the left side” “hyperechoic area of the right side” “hyperechoic area of both sides” “S/M value” “the number of cases with a hyperechoic area of >0.2 cm2 for at least one side” “the number of cases with an S/M ratio of >7%” and “the number of cases with positive TCS results”. Conclusion Compared with healthy controls,ET patients are more susceptible to cognitive impairment,anxiety,depression,poor sleep quality,daytime sleepiness,and fatigue,and the non-motor symptoms of ET should be taken seriously in clinical practice. TCS examination has a relatively low diagnostic value in ET patients and healthy individuals.

Objective:To construct and test the reliability and validity of an assessment scale for self-management of patients with dry eye, so as to help patients establish dry eye related health behaviors.Methods:Based on the knowledge attitude and practice theory, the initial scale was constructed on the basis of literature review and qualitative interview, and revised through Delphi expert consultation and expert argumentation. After the preliminary investigation, 211 dry eye patients treated in the dry eye nursing outpatient department of Beijing Tongren Hospital from August 2023 to January 2024 were selected by convenience sampling method for questionnaire investigation to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Results:Among 211 dry eye patients, there were 58 males and 153 females, aged (39.31 ± 12.81) years old. The scale of self-management of patients with dry eye included 27 items in 3 dimensions: knowledge, attitude and behavior. The authority coefficient of the two rounds of expert consultation was 0.86, and the Kendall coordination index increased from 0.175 to 0.223 (both P < 0.01). The cumulative variance contribution rates of the three dimensions were 41.843%, 54.219% and 44.273%, respectively. The Cronbach α coefficient of the scale was 0.787, and the Spearman-Brown coefficient was 0.641. Conclusions:The scale of self-management of patients with dry eye has good reliability and validity and can be used in the assessment of dry eye patients to provide a reference basis for targeted guidance and intervention.

OBJECTIVE To standardize the English translations of the current Chinese patent medicine (CPM) instructions in order to increase its English translation quality and improve its readability. METHODS In an attempt to standardize its English translation, 64 CPM instructions were collected as samples for translation projects in Trados, using its two core functions of translation memory and terminology, combined with pre-editing (PRE) and post-editing (PE) skills. RESULTS The results showed that translation projects had up to 21.65% perfect match. Based on translation project practice, it is proposed to use the free translation or transcreation plus transliteration method to translate product names of CPM, and apply two human-computer interaction translation modes:“ machine translation (MT)+computer-assisted translation (CAT)+PE” and “PRE+MT+CAT+PE”, which are adopted in the translation of weak literary sections and strong literary sections, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The application of CAT not only improves the translation quality and the translation mode, reduces the translation cost, and maintains the consistency and style of the translation, but also accumulates language assets for future use, providing a novel reference for translating traditional Chinese medicine literature.

The many-banded krait, Bungarus multicinctus, has been recorded as the animal resource of JinQianBaiHuaShe in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Characterization of its venoms classified chief phyla of modern animal neurotoxins. However, the evolutionary origin and diversification of its neurotoxins as well as biosynthesis of its active compounds remain largely unknown due to the lack of its high-quality genome. Here, we present the 1.58 Gbp genome of B. multicinctus assembled into 18 chromosomes with contig/scaffold N50 of 7.53 Mbp/149.8 Mbp. Major bungarotoxin-coding genes were clustered within genome by family and found to be associated with ancient local duplications. The truncation of glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchor in the 3'-terminal of a LY6E paralog released modern three-finger toxins (3FTxs) from membrane tethering before the Colubroidea divergence. Subsequent expansion and mutations diversified and recruited these 3FTxs. After the cobra/krait divergence, the modern unit-B of β-bungarotoxin emerged with an extra cysteine residue. A subsequent point substitution in unit-A enabled the β-bungarotoxin covalent linkage. The B. multicinctus gene expression, chromatin topological organization, and histone modification characteristics were featured by transcriptome, proteome, chromatin conformation capture sequencing, and ChIP-seq. The results highlighted that venom production was under a sophisticated regulation. Our findings provide new insights into snake neurotoxin research, meanwhile will facilitate antivenom development, toxin-driven drug discovery and the quality control of JinQianBaiHuaShe.

Bombyx mori is a lepidopteran insect with important economic value. Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) causes huge economic loss to silkworm industry in China every year. The objective of this study is to determine the anti-BmNPV mechanism of Bombyx mori strain NC99R, and to provide a basis for understanding the molecular mechanism of the silkworm resistance strain. The normal control Dazao (DZ) strain and the NC99R resistant strain were fed with occlusion bodies (OB). The median lethal dose (LD50) analysis of the DZ and NC99R showed that the LD50 of DZ was 1.2×10⁵ OBs/larva, while NC99R was 1.8×10⁶ OBs/larva. The LD50 of the NC99R was about 15 times higher than the DZ. The mortality of DZ and NC99R were analyzed, which were fed with 1×10⁶ OBs/larva and injection with 1×10⁶ BVs/larva. The results showed that the death peak of DZ was concentrated in the 4th to 6th day. And the death peak of NC99R was concentrated in the 6th to 8th day, with a delay of 1-2 days compared with the control. The BmNPV DNA copy number showed that the BmNPV genome in DZ proliferated rapidly. The copy number of BmNPV DNA in NC99R were increased slowly after oral infection and body injection. HE staining showed that midgut tissue has no significant difference between DZ and NC99R in the early stage of oral infection. At 96 h p.i., the nucleus of DZ midgut became larger and shedding. The NC99R had enlarged nuclei, but the cells were still arranged neatly. Finally, the expression of virus genes in different periods were analyzed by RT-PCR. The results indicated that the immediate early gene ie-1 expression levels began to down-regulate after 24 h p.i.. The early, late, and extremely late genes were also down-regulated, and finally maintained at a lower expression level.

Objective:To deeply understand the causes of poor compliance with out-of-hospital disease self-management behaviors in patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremities, and provide a scientific basis for targeted interventions.Methods:Totally 14 patients who were diagnosed with DVT of the lower extremities, self-managed for 6 months outside the hospital and showed poor compliance in a ClassⅢ Grade A hospital in Beijing from August 2018 to April 2019 were selected for semi-structured interviews using phenomenological methods. The data were analyzed using Colaizzi's 7-step analysis.Results:The two themes of medical behavior management and health behavior management were refined; the causes of poor compliance were: lack of knowledge on systematic prevention and treatment of thrombosis, poor communication between doctors and patients and weak family and social support.Conclusions:The out-of-hospital disease self-management of patients with DVT of the lower extremities is poor. Doctors and nurses should strengthen health education from systematic knowledge of thrombosis treatment, enhance communication between doctors and patients, strengthen family social support, implement re-examination and non-compliance behavior supervision, and improve self-management behavior compliance outside the hospital.
