Diabetic cognitive impairment (DCI) has an insidious onset and progressive and irreversible development. There is currently no first-line treatment for DCI. Early intervention of diabetes with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) can effectively control blood sugar and improve cognitive impairment, which has significant advantages. As a representative of bitter and cold heat-clearing medicines, Coptidis Rhizoma, known for its abilities to clear heat and dampness and remove turbidity and toxins, has been widely used in the clinical prevention and treatment of diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, and other cognitive impairments. This article systematically summarized relevant literature and observed that Coptidis Rhizoma has shown good potential in the prevention and treatment of DCI with its active ingredients such as berberine and quercetin, drug pairs such as Coptidis Rhizoma-Scutellariae Radix, Coptidis Rhizoma-Acorus Tatarinowii Rhizoma, Coptidis Rhizoma-Pinelliae Rhizoma, Coptidis Rhizoma-Zingiberis Rhizoma, and prescriptions such as Gegen Qinliantang, Huanglian Jiedutang, Banxia Xiexintang, Huanglian Wendantang, Jiaotai Wan, Danggui liuhuangtang, and related Chinese patent medicines. Its mechanism may be related to regulating glucose metabolism, improving insulin resistance, improving amyloid β-protein (Aβ) deposition and tau protein phosphorylation, inhibiting neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, and regulating the "microbe-gut-brain axis". The article systematically reviewed the research progress of Coptidis Rhizoma and its prescriptions in the prevention and treatment of DCI, aiming to preliminarily explain the scientific connotation of Coptidis Rhizoma and provide a basis for its clinical application in the prevention and treatment of DCI.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of brentuximab vedotin (BV) combined with rituximab and attenuated chemotherapy in the treatment of children with classic Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL).Methods:A prospective, non-randomized, risk-assigned study. Clinical data (including age, gender, B symptoms, bulky disease, CD30 and Epstein-Barr virus-encoded RNA(EBER) expression, clinical stage, risk stratification, etc.) of 28 intermediate to high-risk cHL children diagnosed and treated at Beijing Children′s Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University from October 2022 to May 2024 were collected. Immuno-targeted combined with attenuated chemotherapy was administered based on risk stratification and early treatment response. The patients were followed up until May 1st, 2024. The infusion reactions and adverse reactions after treatment were recorded.Results:In all 28 patients, there were 22 males and 6 females, the age was 12 (5,16) years, 16 cases (57%) presented with bulky disease and 10 cases (36%) with B symptoms. The most common pathological type was nodular sclerosis (14 cases, 50%). There were 7 cases of stage Ⅱ, 14 cases of stage Ⅲ and 7 cases of stage Ⅳ according to the Ann Arbor staging system. There were 5 cases in the intermediate-risk group and 23 cases in the high-risk group. EBER was positive in 20 cases (71%) and negative in 6 cases (21%), and CD30 antigen was expressed in tumor cells of all enrolled children. Treatment duration: 5 cases (18%) received 4 courses of treatment, 21 cases (75%) received 6 courses of treatment, and 2 cases (7%) received 8 courses of treatment, 25 cases (89%) achieved complete metabolism response (CMR) through early assessment after 2 courses of chemotherapy. The CMR rates were 100% in intermediate-risk group and 87% (20/23) in high-risk group, respectively. Four patients (14%) finally received residual field radiotherapy. Toxicities included grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ myelosuppression, early infusion reaction and mild peripheral neuropathy, only one case of grade 3 adverse events was recorded and did not affect sequential treatment. At the end of treatment and 3 months of follow-up, the levels of IgA, IgG and IgM were all decreased compared with the baseline before chemotherapy, and the total B cell count began to be lower than the level before chemotherapy at the early stage of treatment (after 2 courses). The total B cell count monitored during treatment was 50 (0, 101)×10 6/L and was 12 (0, 25)×10 6/L at the end of treatment. The follow-up time was 6 (3, 13) months, all 28 children had event-free survival and all achieved complete remission. At 6 and 9 months of follow-up, IgA, IgG, IgM and total B cell counts returned to pre-chemotherapy baseline levels, respectively. Conclusion:BV combined with rituximab attenuated chemotherapy has demonstrated efficacy and a tolerable safety profile in the treatment of cHL in children, and significantly reduce radiation rate.

Objective:To investigate the factors that influence the prolongation of gestation following emergency cervical cerclage.Methods:This retrospective study included 88 singleton pregnant women who were diagnosed with cervical incompetence and underwent emergency cervical cerclage at 12-26 weeks of gestation in the Jiaxing Maternity and Child Health Care Hospital from January 1, 2019 to September 1, 2022. The participants who delivered after 28 gestational weeks were assigned to the success group ( n=77), while those who delivered or miscarried before 28 gestational weeks were assigned to the failure group ( n=11). Two independent sample t-test or Mann-Whitney U test was used for comparison between groups. The factors affecting the prolongation of gestation after the procedure were selected by univariate analysis and multiple regression equations. Results:The success rate (delivery rate≥28 weeks) was 87.5% (77/88). There were six women delivered at 28-31 +6 weeks of gestation (6/77, 7.8%), two at 32-33 +6 weeks of gestation (2/77, 2.6%), 16 at 34-36 +6 weeks of gestation (16/77, 20.8%), and 53 at 37 weeks of gestation or later (53/77, 68.8%). Multiple regression analysis indicated that three times of early pregnancy miscarriage ( β=-5.1, 95% CI: -9.5 to -0.7), five times of early pregnancy miscarriage ( β=-11.8, 95% CI: -22.1 to -1.6), had two live births ( β=-6.9, 95% CI: -12.9 to -0.9), gestational age at cerclage ( β=-0.6, 95% CI: -1.0 to -0.3), external cervical os dilation<15 mm ( β=-12.1, 95% CI: -22.5 to -1.8) and ≥15 mm before cerclage ( β=-11.0, 95% CI: -21.4 to -0.71) were factors affecting the prolongation of gestation after cerclage. After adjusting for maternal age and weight before emergency cervical cerclage, five times of early pregnancy miscarriage ( β=-18.1, 95% CI: -28.3 to -7.8), gestational age at cerclage ( β=-0.6, 95% CI: -1.0 to -0.3), and external cervical os dilation≥15 mm before cerclage ( β=-11.4, 95% CI:-21.2 to -1.6) remained the significant influencing factors (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The number of early pregnancy miscarriages, gestational age at cerclage, and the width of external cervical os dilation before cerclage≥15 mm are the factors that influence the prolongation of gestation after the emergency cervical cerclage procedure.

Objective:To report a case of combined oxidative phosphorylation deficiency 28 (COXPD28) in China, identified the pathogenic mutation and explored the pathogenic mechanism preliminarily.Methods:The clinical characteristics of a patient with COXPD28 were retrospectively analyzed and the pathogenic mutations were identified by mitochondrial gene sequencing and whole exome sequencing. The wild-type and mutant plasmids of pathogenic genes were constructed, and effect of mutation on protein expression by quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR) and Western blot were evaluated. Statistical methods mainly used one-way ANOVA and LSD test.Results:A 21 year old female patient presented with lactic acid poisoning due to repeated chest distress and wheezing since childhood. The sequencing of the whole exon group gene found that solute carrier family 25 member 26 (SLC25A26) gene had a compound heterozygous mutation (c.34G>C, p.A12P; c.197C>A, p.A66E), which was the first report in China. In vitro function test showed that the expression levels of SLC25A26 mRNA and S-adenosylmethionine carrier (SAMC) protein in cells transfected with SLC25A26 mutant plasmid were significantly lower than those transfected with wild type plasmid. The p.A66E mutant plasmid reduced the expression level of SLC25A26 mRNA and SAMC protein to 6% and 26% of wild type plasmids respectively (both P<0.001), while p.A12P mutant plasmid decreased to 62% and 82% of wild type plasmids respectively ( P<0.001, P=0.044). When the double mutant (p.A66E+p.A12P) plasmids were co-transfected, the expression levels of SLC25A26 mRNA and SAMC protein decreased to 47% and 57% of the wild type plasmids, respectively ( P<0.001, P=0.001). Conclusion:The pathogenic mutation gene of this patient with COXPD28 is SLC25A26 gene mutation (p.A66E, p.A12P), which causes the decrease of SLC25A26 expression level, mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation dysfunction, and induces COXPD28.

Objective:To explore the effects of hospital-to-community model-based case management on outcomes and life quality of patients with atrial fibrillation.Methods:By convience sampling method, a total of 90 cases of atrial fibrillation patients admitted to Changzhou Second People′s Hospital from January 2019 to May 2020 were randomly divided into control group and experimental group, with 45 cases in each group. The patients in the control group received routine nursing care, the experimental group implemented hospital-to-community model-based case management. The beliefs about medicine, medication compliance, quality of life and readmissions of cardiovascular events were compared between 2 groups before and 6 months after intervention.Results:Finally, 41 cases were included in the experimental group and 38 cases in the control group. Before intervention, there were no significant differences in various indexes between the two groups ( P>0.05). After 6 months of intervention, the scores of specific-necessity in Beliefs about Medicines Questionnaire-Specific (BMQ-Specific) and Morisky Medication Adherence Scale-8 (MMAS-8) were (16.98 ± 4.22) and (7.15 ± 0.69) points in the experimental group, higher than in the control group (14.95 ± 4.33) and (6.32 ± 1.07) points; the scores of specific-concerns in BMQ-Specific were (6.83 ± 1.91)points in the experimental group, lower than in the control group (8.42 ± 2.73) points. The differences were statistically significant ( t = 2.11, 4.07, 2.98, all P<0.05); the scores of physical function, role-physical, pain, general health, mental health dimensions and total scores in SF-36 were (80.37 ± 3.46), (46.63 ± 14.54), (90.37 ± 5.78), (70.07 ± 9.98), (84.20 ± 8.73) and (584.88 ± 25.71) points in the experimental group, higher than in the control group (70.13 ± 11.20), (37.34 ± 10.25), (83.37 ± 6.89), (59.55 ± 7.98), (77.58 ± 9.09) and (533.87 ± 31.62) points, the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 3.30-7.89, all P<0.05). At 6 months after discharge, the re-admission of cardiovascular events were 5 cases (12.2%) in the experimental group and 12 cases (31.6%) in the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=4.74, P<0.05). Conclusions:Hospital-to-community model-based case management can effectively promote beliefs about medicine and medication compliance, improve quality of life and decrease re-admission of cardiovascular events of patients with atrial fibrillation.

Objective:To explore the optimum time of ambulation of atrial fibrillation patients after radiofrequency ablation, to provide basis for patients' early postoperative rehabilitation.Methods:By convenient sampling method, a total of 120 patients with atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation were collected at Yanghu Branch and City Branch of Changzhou Second People's Hospital from January 2020 to May 2021. They were divided into the early group, middle group and late group according to the random number table method, each group were 40 cases. All patients received routine postoperative intervention, the time of ambulation were 4, 6 and 12 h after operation in the early group, middle group and late group, respectively. The complication rate within 24 h after operation was compared among the three groups, and the comfort level of the three groups at 24, 48 and 72 h after operation was evaluated with Comfort Status Scale (GCQ).Results:Finally, 111 patients were included, including 37 in the early group, 38 in the middle group and 36 in the late group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of bleeding or hematoma, urinary retention, lumbago within 24 h after operation among the three groups ( P>0.05). The incidence of postural hypotension within 24 h after operation in the early group was 2.7% (1/37), which was lower than 21.1% (7/38) and 25.0% (9/36) in the middle and late groups, with a statistically significant difference ( χ2=4.86, 7.67, both P<0.05). At 48 and 72 h after operation, the scores of physiological dimension, psychological dimension and the total score of GCQ in the early group were (20.68 ± 3.07), (22.54 ± 3.35), (81.68 ± 6.11) and (22.54 ± 3.73), (24.38 ± 2.49), (84.92 ± 6.37), higher than those in the middle group (19.16 ± 2.19), (21.32 ± 2.27), (78.24 ± 5.58), (20.93 ± 2.85), (22.32 ± 2.04), (81.66 ± 6.56), and those in the late group (18.44 ± 1.50) (21.31 ± 1.99), (78.06 ± 4.32), (20.89 ± 2.25), (21.58 ± 1.86), (80.28 ± 6.44), the differences were statistically significant ( t values were 2.19-4.15, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Ambulation at 4 h after operation does not increase peripheral vascular complications, but can reduce the incidence of postural hypotension and improve the comfort of patients with atrial fibrillation after radiofrequency ablation.

Objective:To observe the efficacy and safety of the combination of agomelatine and low-dose olanzapine (AO) in the treatment of postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) with depression, anxiety and sleep disorders.Methods:From April 2019 to September 2020, PDS patients with depression, anxiety and sleep disorders in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital were selected and divided into AO group and flupentixol-melitracen (FM) group. Patients of the AO group were given oral agomelatine 25 mg and AO 1.70 mg (both once per day), and the patients of FM group were given oral FM 10.5 mg (once per day), and all patients took itopride 50 mg (three times per day) at the same time. The total treatment course was eight weeks. Nepean dyspepsia index-symptom (NDIS), patient health questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), generalized anxiety disorder-7 (GAD-7) and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) were used to evaluate the gastrointestinal symptoms, depression, anxiety and sleep disorders before treatment and two, four and eight weeks after treatment, respectively. The efficacy was evaluated according to the changes of scores of gastrointestinal symptoms before and after treatment. The adverse effects after medication were recorded. Independent sample t test and chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results:A total of 184 PDS patients with depression, anxiety and sleep disorders were enrolled, including 98 patients in AO group and 86 patients in FM group. At two, four and eight weeks after treatment, NDIS, PHQ-9, GAD-7 and PSQI scores of AO group and FM group were all lower than those of each group before treatment (AO group: 13.73±0.53, 10.13±0.44 and 7.87±0.31 vs. 27.08±0.84; 6.04±0.35, 4.70±0.31 and 3.81±0.22 vs. 10.04±0.50; 6.36±0.30, 5.29±0.28 and 4.21±0.19 vs. 10.71±0.51; 6.64±0.37, 5.27±0.35 and 4.09±0.30 vs. 11.14±0.42; FM group: 15.33±0.58, 11.58±0.50 and 9.80±0.35 vs. 25.10±0.79; 6.79±0.35, 5.71±0.32 and 4.86±0.30 vs. 9.11±0.46; 7.27±0.31, 6.51±0.32 and 5.21±0.27 vs. 9.79±0.44; 8.01±0.33, 6.76±0.32 and 5.78±0.32 vs. 10.44±0.32), and the differences were statistically significant (AO group: tNDIS=13.470, 17.930 and 21.530, tPHQ-9=6.488, 8.991 and 11.300, tGAD-7=7.361, 9.315 and 11.031, tPSQI=7.088, 9.736 and 12.550. FM group: tNDIS=9.921, 14.400 and 17.640, tPHQ-9=4.032, 6.106 and 7.781, tGAD-7=4.638, 5.993 and 8.840, tPSQI=5.289, 8.199 and 10.310, all P<0.05). At two, four and eight weeks after treatment, NDIS, GAD-7 and PSQI scores of AO group were all lower than those of the FM group during the same period (NDIS: 13.73±0.53 vs. 15.33±0.58, 10.13±0.44 vs. 11.58±0.50, 7.87±0.31 vs. 9.80±0.35; GAD-7: 6.36±0.30 vs. 7.27±0.31, 5.29±0.28 vs. 6.51±0.32, 4.21±0.19 vs. 5.21±0.27; PSQI: 6.64±0.37 vs. 8.01±0.33, 5.27±0.35 vs. 6.76±0.32, 4.09±0.30 vs. 5.78±0.32), and the differences were statistically significant ( tNDIS=2.018, 2.225 and 4.156, tGAD-7=2.097, 2.869 and 2.536, tPSQI=1.951, 2.359 and 3.099, all P<0.05). At eight weeks after treatment, the total effective rate of the AO group was higher than that of the FM group (94.9%, 93/98 vs. 84.9%, 73/86), and the difference was statistically significant ( χ2=5.205, P=0.026). The incidence of adverse reactions of constipation and somnolence of the AO group were both lower than those of the FM group (2.0%, 2/98 vs. 9.3%, 8/86 and 1.0%, 1/98 vs. 8.1%, 7/86, respectively), and the differences were statistically significant ( χ2=4.699 and 5.582, P=0.047 and 0.027). Conclusion:AO may be a treatment option for PDS with depression, anxiety and sleep disorders.

This article reported a case of malignant pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma with cranial metastasis. The patient was a 25-year-old man. At the age of 10, he was diagnosed with retroperitoneal paraganglioma. He received radiotherapy after partial resection of the tumor. At the age of 15, when he consulted for headache and hypertension, a space occupying lesion was found on the right adrenal without further diagnosis and treatment. His headache and hypertension were aggravated at the age of 25. Then he visited our medical center and diagnosed with right adrenal pheochromocytoma. He undertook an operation to remove the right adrenal lesion, and his blood pressured could be controlled in the normal range with oral antihypertensive medication. One year after the surgery, a cranial lesion with positive 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine imaging was found following the increase of norepinephrine and dopamine in both blood and urine. The diagnosis of malignant pheochromocytoma with cranial metastasis was confirmed. The cranial lesion was treated with cyberknife therapy for 4 times, and the lesion was slightly reduced. Four year after the removal of right adrenal tumor, he developed multiple bone metastasis in the right ribs and left ilium, and then he received 131I-metaiodobenzylguanidine radiotherapy. Additionally, the results of gene test indicated a pathogenic mutation of SDHB. During the follow-up period of one year after the treatment, his blood pressure fluctuated to about 140/90mmHg with 10mg of phenoxybenzamine once a day. The case is a malignant pheochromocytoma with multiple bone metastasis characterized by a long course with an ideal prognosis in a way. Consequently, we suggested the diagnostic pathway with genetic testing based on clinical phenotype to approach more timely diagnosis and reasonable evaluation of the prognosis in pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. Furthermore, clinicians should pay more attention to the long-term surveillance.
