Objective: The study aims to explore the neural mechanism of cognitive differences in college students with posttraumatic stress disorder under verbal fluency task based on functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), so as to provide neuroimaging support for the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD). Methods: Posttaumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Combat(PCL-C) was used to screen the subjects, including 21 students in PTSD group (PCL-C≥38) and 30 students in control group from September to Novenber in 2020. A 53 channel near infrared spectroscopy device was used to collect cerebral blood oxygen signals under the verbal fluency task, and correlation analysis, Mann Whitney U test and independent sample t test were performed on the results. Results: The difference in the total average score of PCL-C Scale between PTSD group and the control group(46.38±6.96，25.57±6.09) was statistically significant ( t=11.33, P <0.05). Correlation analysis showed that Avg-HbO in left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe was negatively correlated with PCL-C Score ( r=-0.37, P <0.05). Mann Whitney U test showed that in the left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe (Ch6), the Avg-HbO change in PTSD group [0.19(-0.09, 0.86)mmol/(L〖KG*7〗·mm)] was significantly lower than the control group [0.79( 0.37 , 1.47)mmol/(L ·mm)] ( Z=2.16, P <0.05), which was statistically significant. Conclusions The degree of PTSD was negatively correlated with the index of oxygenated hemoglobin in the left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe, and the oxygenated hemoglobin content in the PTSD group was lower than that in the normal group. In the future, fNIRS may be used to collect blood oxygen signals from the left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe in cognitive tasks to provide imaging evidence for the identification of PTSD.

Objective To investigate the relationship between insomnia,gastrointestinal symptoms,and glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)levels in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM),as well as the related influencing factors.Methods A total of 910 T2DM patients treated in our multicenter from January 2022 to December 2022 were enrolled in this study.General information(gender,age,smoking and drinking history,exercise,course of disease,treatment and complications),HbA1c,Athens Insomnia Scale(AIS)scores and Gastrointestinal Symptoms Rating Scale(GSRS)scores of patients were collected.The differences of sleep and gastrointestinal symptoms between groups were analyzed,and the correlation between the differences and HbA1c was analyzed.Furthermore,the risk factors for non-standard HbA1c were analyzed.Results The AIS score and GSRS score in the HbA1c control group were less than those in the non-standard group(P＜0.01).Insomnia was reported by 37.0％of T2DM patients,and the HbA1c level in the insomnia group was significantly higher than that in the non-insomnia group(10.00％±2.38％vs.8.26％±1.73％,P＜0.01).Gastrointestinal symptoms were present in 57.5％of T2DM patients,and the HbA1c levels in the group with gastrointestinal symptoms were significantly higher than those in the group without gastrointestinal symptoms(9.26％±2.23％vs.8.43％±1.98％,P＜0.01).Furthermore,26.3％of T2DM patients experienced both insomnia and gastrointestinal symptoms.Remarkably,the HbA1c levels in the group with both insomnia and gastrointestinal symptoms were significantly higher than those in the group without either condition(10.18％±2.44％vs.8.45％±1.86％,P＜0.01).Correlation analysis demonstrated a significant association between sleep quality,gastrointestinal function,and HbA1c levels(P＜0.01).The logistic regression analysis result revealed that age,GSRS score,AIS score,and the presence of insomnia combined with gastrointestinal symptoms were independent risk factors for predicting HbA1c≥6.5％(P＜0.01).Having both insomnia and gastrointestinal symptoms concurrently was the strongest risk factor for substandard HbA1c control,and the risk of blood sugar control may increase about 5 times when both appear together.Conclusion Insomnia and gastrointestinal symptoms are common comorbidities in T2DM patients,showing a cross-interfering relationship,and they appear together with poor blood sugar control,interact causally,and amplify each other.

Objective To investigate the potential mechanism of Jianpi Shenshi Formula for the treatment of hyperuricemia(HUA)by using network pharmacology and molecular docking techniques.Methods The active ingredients of Jianpi Shenshi Formula were searched and screened by combining TCMSP,BATMAN,and TCM-ID database with literature,and then SwissTargetPrediction was used to obtain the corresponding targets of the ingredients.Cytoscape 3.8.0 was used to construct a"drug-ingredients"network to analyze and obtain the main active ingredients of Jianpi Shenshi Formula.The GeneCards,OMIM,and disgenet databases were used to obtain the relevant targets of hyperuricemia.The intersection targets of Jianpi Shenshi Formula and hyperuricemia were imported into the STRING database for protein-protein interaction(PPI)network analysis,and hub targets for network were screened by CytoHubba plug-in.Meanwhile,the GO function and KEGG pathway enrichment analysis of the intersection targets were carried out using R4.2.2 software.Molecular docking of hub targets and key ingredients was performed using CB-DOCK 2.Results A total of 90 active ingredients of Jianpi Shenshi Formula were screened,among which quercetin,kaempferol,luteolin,stigmasterol,and ethyl linoleate were the main active ingredients,and 837 targets corresponding to the ingredients were obtained,with a total of 64 intersecting targets.CASP3,IL1B,IL6,PPARG,SIRT1,MAPK3,TNF,STAT3,TGFβ1,PTGS2,and XDH were the hub targets.The potential targets of action are mainly enriched in signaling pathways such as inflammation,metabolism,environment,cellular processes,biological systems,and hyperuricemia-related pathways.Conclusion Jianpi Shenshi Formula may exert effects on inhibition of uric acid production,and/or enhancement of uric acid excretion,anti-inflammation,and amelioration of related complications through the modulation of hyperuricemia-related signaling pathways(including neoplastic,infectious,metabolic,and cardiovascular diseases),as well as metabolic,immune,inflammatory,and other biological pathways by a variety of active ingredients such as quercetin,kaempferol,luteolin,stigmasterol,and ethyl linoleate.

Objective To observe the progression of intestinal fibrosis in chronic radiation intestinal injury(CRII)and study the protective mechanisms of autophagy agonist rapamycin on intestinal fibrosis in CRII.Methods Thirty C57/B6male mice were randomly divided into the control group(CO group),the radiation group(SR group)and the rapamycin intervention group(RI group).The CO group was not treated.In SR group,the CRII model(single dose of9Gy radiation)was established first,and the samples were taken after 3months.In RI group,the rats were treated with rapamycin(2mg/kg,intraperitoneal injection)for 1 week after modeling,other treat-ments were the same as that in SR group.Hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining were used to evaluate the degree of intestinal mucosal injury and intestinal fibrosis.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the serum levels of interleukin-1 β(IL-1β)and interleukin-6(IL-6).The level of intestinal α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)was detected by immunohistochemistry.The levels of transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1),connective tissue growth factor(CTGF)and autophagy-related proteins(p62 and LC3)were detected by Western blot.Results Histopathological staining showed that compared with CO group,the intestinal muco-sal damage was aggravated(P＜0.05),and the degree of intestinal fibrosis was increased in SR group(P＜0.01).Compared with SR group,the intestinal mucosal damages were relieved(P＜0.05),and the intestinal fibrosis was greatly decreased in RI group(P＜0.01).Compared with the CO group,the levels of IL-1 β and IL-6 in the SR group were significantly increased(P＜0.01),while those in the RI group significantly decreased compared with the SR group(P＜0.01).The results of immunohistochemistry and Western blot showed that the expression levels of α-SMA,TGF-β1 and CTGF in the SR group were greatly higher than those in the CO group(P＜0.05),while significantly lower in the RI group than those in the SR group(P＜0.05).The expression of autophagy indexes in SR group were lower than that in the CO group(P＜0.05),and significantly higher in the RI group than that in the SR group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Rapamycin-induced autophagy could improve the process of intestinal fibrosis in CRII,and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition the differentiation and function of intestinal myofibroblasts and reduce the inflammation of intestine.

Objective:To analyze the treatment outcomes and prognoses of children with head and neck non-parameningeal rhabdomyosarcoma (HNnPM RMS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of children with HNnPM RMS admitted to Beijing Children′s Hospital from September 2012 to September 2022. The clinical features, comprehensive treatment modes and prognoses of the patients were analyzed. The overall survival rate (OS) and event free survival rate (EFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and univariate analysis was performed using the Log-rank test.Results:A total of 70 children were included in this study, 38 males and 32 females, with a median age of 47 months (2-210 months). Pathological subtypes including the embryonal in 27 cases, the alveolar in 36 cases and the spindle cell and sclerosing in 7 cases. Thirty children (83.3%) with alveolar type were positive for FOXO1 gene fusion. All 70 children underwent chemotherapy, including 38 with neoadjuvant chemotherapy and 32 with adjuvant chemotherapy. Sixty of 70 children underwent surgery, of whom, 10 underwent two or more surgeries. There were 63 children underwent radiotherapy, including 54 with intensity-modulated radiation therapy, 4 with particle implantation and 5 with proton therapy. The median follow-up was 45 (5-113) months, the 5-year OS was 73.2%, and the 5-year EFS was 57.7%. Univariate analysis showed lymph node metastasis ( χ2=5.022, P=0.025), distant metastasis ( χ2=8.258, P=0.004), and high Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcoma Study (IRS) group ( χ2=9.859, P=0.029) as risk factors for poor prognosis. Before June 2016, the 5-year OS based on BCH-RMS-2006 scheme was 63.6%, and after 2016, the 5-year OS based on CCCG-RMS-2016 scheme was 79.6%. Conclusion:Multidisciplinary combined standardized treatment can offer good treatment outcome and prognosis for children with HNnPM RMS. Local control is a key to the efficacy of comprehensive treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (ASCT) on the treatment of relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM) with chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy.Methods:A retrospective cohort study. The clinical data of 168 patients with RRMM who underwent CAR-T therapy at the Department of Hematology, Xuzhou Medical University Hospital from 3 January 2020 to 13 September 2022 were analyzed. Patients were classified into a transplantation group (TG; n=47) and non-transplantation group (NTG; n=121) based on whether or not they had undergone ASCT previously. The objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and the levels of CD3, CD4, CD8, CD19, CD56 and natural killer (NK) cells before CAR-T infusion were analyzed by χ2 test, Kaplan-Meier method and independent sample t-test. Results:Among 168 patients with RRMM, 98 (58.3%) were male. The median age of onset was 57 (range 30-70) years. After CAR-T therapy, the ORR of patients was 89.3% (92/103) in the NTG and 72.9% (27/73) in the TG. The ORR of the NTG was better than that of the TG ( χ2=5.71, P=0.017). After 1 year of CAR-T therapy, the ORR of the NTG was 78.1% (75/96), and that of the TG was 59.4% (19/32). The ORR of the NTG was better than that of the TG ( χ2=4.32, P=0.038). The median OS and PFS in the NTG were significantly longer than those in the TG (OS, 30 vs. 20 months; PFS, 26 vs. 12 months; both P<0.05). The CD4 level before CAR-T infusion in the TG was significantly lower than that in the NTG (25.65±13.56 vs. 32.64±17.21; t=-2.15, P=0.034), and there were no significant differences in the counts of CD3, CD8, CD19, CD56, and NK cells between the TG and NTG (all P>0.05). Conclusion:Among patients suffering from RRMM who received CAR-T therapy, patients who did not receive ASCT had significantly better outcomes than those who had received ASCT previously, which may have been related to the CD4 level before receiving CAR-T therapy.

To investigate the prevalence and epidemiological characteristics of diabetic retinopathy (DR) in Yunnan Province, explore its risk factors, and provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus (DM). This is a large cross-sectional study, in all, 1 524 DM patients in 16 communities and villages of Yunnan Province who were registered in health service centers were included in this study from August to November 2019. All patients completed a uniform questionnaire, anthropometric measurements, biochemical measurements, and auxiliary examinations. Logistic regression analysis was used to screen the risk factors of DR. The prevalence rates of DR, mild non-proliferative DR (mild-NPDR), and referable DR (RDR) were 16.0% (244/1 524), 4.5% (69/1 524), and 11.5% (175/1 524), respectively. Glycated hemoglobin A 1c (HbA 1c)≥7.0% was the risk factor of mild-NPDR ( OR=1.872, 95% CI 1.055-3.323) and RDR ( OR=4.821, 95% CI 2.917-7.969). Blood pressure≥130/80 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) was the risk factor of mild-NPDR ( OR=1.933, 95% CI 1.112-3.358) and RDR ( OR=1.505, 95% CI 1.063-2.130). In Yunnan Province, 16.0% DM patients had accompanying DR, wherein about 71.7% of them required an ophthalmology referral, and the high incidence of RDR in DM patients was associated with poor control of blood glucose and blood pressure.
