Studies have suggested that the nucleus accumbens (NAc) is implicated in the pathophysiology of major depression; however, the regulatory strategy that targets the NAc to achieve an exclusive and outstanding anti-depression benefit has not been elucidated. Here, we identified a specific reduction of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the subset of dopamine D1 receptor medium spiny neurons (D1-MSNs) in the NAc that promoted stress susceptibility, while the stimulation of cAMP production in NAc D1-MSNs efficiently rescued depression-like behaviors. Ketamine treatment enhanced cAMP both in D1-MSNs and dopamine D2 receptor medium spiny neurons (D2-MSNs) of depressed mice, however, the rapid antidepressant effect of ketamine solely depended on elevating cAMP in NAc D1-MSNs. We discovered that a higher dose of crocin markedly increased cAMP in the NAc and consistently relieved depression 24 h after oral administration, but not a lower dose. The fast onset property of crocin was verified through multicenter studies. Moreover, crocin specifically targeted at D1-MSN cAMP signaling in the NAc to relieve depression and had no effect on D2-MSN. These findings characterize a new strategy to achieve an exclusive and outstanding anti-depression benefit by elevating cAMP in D1-MSNs in the NAc, and provide a potential rapid antidepressant drug candidate, crocin.

ObjectiveTo analyze the measures and effects of comprehensive noise control in an automobile engine manufacturing enterprise. Methods An automobile engine manufacturing enterprise with noise exposure work-sites was selected as the research subject. The noise hazard status of the enterprise was investigated. The noise hazard exceeded the national standard in work-sites was comprehensively treated. The treatment effect was analyzed. Results A total of 395 work-sites exposed to noise were detected. Among them, 16 work-sites exceeded the national noise standard, with the rate of 4.1%. The work-sites with noise exceeding the national standard were mainly in the machine workshop and the casting workshop, with normalization of equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level to a nominal eight hours working day (L_EX,8h) ranging from 86.8 to 89.2 and 85.2 to 90.2 dB(A), respectively. In addition, the classification of occupational noise exposure of the mold protection group in the casting workshop was level Ⅱ, and classification of occupational noise exposure of other work-sites with excessive national standard was grade Ⅰ. After the enterprise implemented noise control measures such as process reform, equipment replacement, sound insulation, noise reduction, sound absorption, and vibration isolation, the L_EX,8h of nine positions were lower than those before rectification ［(86.7±1.1) vs (83.3±1.3) dB(A), P<0.01］. Conclusion The use of comprehensive control measures can achieve the purpose of reducing noise from the sources, and can be used for reference by relevant enterprises with noise hazards.

Objective:The quality of domestic diagnostic accuracy research was evaluated to explore the quality level of domestic diagnostic accuracy research based on Standards for Reporting of Diagnostic Accuracy 2015 (STARD2015).Methods:The Chinese core journals of CNKI and Wanfang Database were searched, and research literature on diagnostic accuracy published from 2017 to 2022 were collected. The main search terms are diagnostic test, sensitivity, specificity, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, etc. The literature was selected according to the inclusion criteria, and the quality of the included literature was evaluated independently by two reviewers, and the conformity rate of the STARD2015 report and the STARD2015 article was calculated. The report quality of the literature was divided into three levels (low, medium and high) according to the conformity rate of the STARD2015 report. The proportion of literature at each level and the proportion of literature at medium and high level in each year were counted. According to quality analysis on the contents of the included articles, articles were divided into standardized reports and unstandardized reports. Intragroup correlation coefficient ( ICC) was used to analyze the consistency of two reviewers. The trend Chi-square test was used to analyze the trend of the proportion of medium and high level literature in each year. One-way analysis of variance was used to compare the coincidence rates evaluated by STARD2015 for each year. Results:A total of 6 771 studies on diagnostic accuracy published from 2017 to 2022 were included. The compliance rate sccording to STARD2015 was 39.56%±4.90%, and the reported compliance rate ranged from 17.65% to 64.71% (the number of reported items ranged from 6 to 22), and 93.53% (6 333/6 771) literatures were in the middle level. Compliance rate of STARD2015 reports varied significantly among different years ( F=25.023, P<0.01), and the compliance rate of 2021 was significantly higher than that of other years ( P<0.01). The proportion of medium and high level literatures according to STARD2015 showed an increasing trend ( χ 2=14.099, P<0.01). The reporting situation of each item varied significantly, and the conformity rate of items raned from 0 to 100%. According to report item, non-standard report rate was 10.34% (569/5 503) for item 6, 4.15% (277/6 677) for item 8, 21.84% (1 447/6 626) for item 20, 66.67% (24/36) for item 22, and 26.03% (877/3 369) for item 26. Conclusions:The overall report quality of published domestic literature on diagnostic accuracy from 2017 to 2022 is at a medium level according to STARD2015, and the reports conformity rate of each item vary significantly, indicating significant knowledge gap on STARD2015 among domestic researchers. The promotion of STARD2015 needs to be strengthened.

Pregnancy with autoimmune diseases is a challenging area that involves multidisciplinary management of immunology, rheumatology, and obstetrics. During pregnancy, the maternal immune system dynamically regulates the balance between maintaining immune tolerance to the fetus and autoimmune. However, for women with common systemic autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus, antiphospholipid syndrome, and rheumatoid arthritis, this balance can be upset, leading to exacerbation or recurrence of the disease and significantly increasing the risk of pregnancy complications. This paper describes the adaptive changes of the immune system during pregnancy and the effects of systemic autoimmune diseases on pregnancy outcomes, proposes multidisciplinary management strategies and challenges in perinatal pregnancy, and aims to provide references for optimizing clinical practice and improving pregnancy outcomes.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on post-stroke aphasia (PSA). MethodsLiteratures about tDCS for PSA were retrieved from PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane library, Embase CNKI and Wanfang Data, until December, 2021. The contents of the author, publication time, subjects, intervention methods and time, main outcome indicators and conclusions were extracted. ResultsA total of 1 026 articles were returned and 45 articles were finally included. The publication time was from 2010 to 2021. The subjects of the study were patients with PSA. The main outcome indicators were the various speech scales and their sub-items. For most of the trials, scores of the scales were better in the experimental groups than in the control groups after treatment, and a few found little improvement in Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination, or only improved in complex language tasks. tDCS can improve the repetition, naming, spelling and verbal fluency of PSA patients, which might relate with electrode placement, current magnitude, duration, intensity and left cortical integrity. ConclusiontDCS is effective on different language sub-items of PSA, and various with the program of tDCS.

In this study,we developed a novel on-line solid phase extraction (SPE)-ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS)-based analytical method for simulta-neously quantifying 12 illicit drugs and metabolites (methamphetamine,amphetamine,morphine,co-deine,6-monoacetylmorphine,benzoylecgonine,3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine,3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine,cocaine,ketamine,norketamine,and methcathinone) and cotinine(COT) in wastewater samples.The analysis was performed by loading 2 mL of the sample onto an Oasis hydrophilic-lipophilic balance cartridge and using a cleanup step (5％ methanol) to eliminate interference with a total run time of 13 min.The isotope-labeled internal standard method was used to quantify the target substances and correct for unavoidable losses and matrix effects during the on-line SPE process.Typical analytical characteristics used for method validation were sensitivity,linearity,precision,repeatability,recovery,and matrix effects.The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ)of each target were set at 0.20 ng/L and 0.50 ng/L,respectively.The linearity was between 0.5 ng/L and 250 ng/L,except for that of COT.The intra-and inter-day precisions were ＜10.45％ and 25.64％,respec-tively,and the relative recovery ranged from 83.74％ to 162.26％.The method was used to analyze various wastewater samples from 33 cities in China,and the results were compared with the experimental re-suits of identical samples analyzed using off-line SPE.The difference rate was between 19.91％and-20.44％,and the error range could be considered acceptable.These findings showed that on-line SPE is a suitable alternative to off-line SPE for the analysis of illicit drugs in samples.

Vascular cognitive impairment is a common type of cognitive impairment. At present, there is no targeted treatment, especially for moderate to severe dementia. This review focuses on the early functional evaluation and rehabilitation treatment in patients with vascular cognitive impairment, in order to obtain optimal curative effects and improve the quality of daily living. Neuropsychological test is helpful for early screening of vascular cognitive impairment. Neuropsychological test, together with the results of neuroelectrophysiology and imaging examination as objective evidence, can further predict the disease progress and can be used to guide rehabilitation treatment and curative effect evaluation. Cognitive training, exercise training, non-invasive nerve regulation technology, acupuncture and moxibustion are currently effective rehabilitation treatments. Combined application of various methods has a better improvement effect than monotherapy. Among them, non-invasive nerve regulation technology shows a good application prospect. At present, more high-quality clinical research evidence is needed.

A quantitative analysis method based on solid phase extraction-ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-UPLC-MS/MS) for simultaneous determination of illicit drugs and their metabolites in wastewater was established. Samples filtered at pH of 2 and spiked with internal standard were loaded to Oasis Prime MCX cartridges for solid-phase extraction. The samples were washed with 4 mL of methanol and eluted with 4 mL of 5% ammonia in acetonitrile before reconstituting with 0.1% formic acid/water solution. ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 column was used for chromatography, and gradient elution was performed with 0.1% formic acid/water solution and acetonitrile as mobile phase. The samples were then detected by electrospray ionization (ESI) in positive ion mode, and multiple reaction monitoring mode (MRM) was adopted for quantitative analysis. All analytes had a good linear relationship (r ≥ 0.993 2) within the range of their respective standard curve; the limit of quantification was 1 ng/L (except amphetamine at 2.5 ng/L); the extraction recovery ranged from 82.13% to 99.96%; and the intra- and inter-day precisions were less than 9.43%. The method is accurate, reliable and reproducible, and is suitable for the quantitative determination of illicit drugs and their metabolites in wastewater and can provide an analytical method for real-time monitoring of drug abuse.

Objective: To observe the clinical effects and safety of orthokeratology(OK) lens in the treatment of mild and moderate myopia, and to evaluate the effects on the myopia control. Methods: The study included a total of 166 eyes in 83 myopia children who were treated in Jiaxing Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from January 2014 to December 2014.They were randomly divided into two groups according to the digital table, 43 cases(86 eyes) in the observation group underwent standard OK lens, and the other 40 cases(80 eyes) in the control group were given common spectacles.The patients were followed up for two years.The uncorrected visual acuity, corneal curvature and ocular surface in the, observation group were examined, and diopter, axial length were examined in the two groups. Results: The visual acuity of the observation group improved significantly at 1 day, trended to be stable at 1 week, and then was basically stable within 1 year, but decreased at 2 years.After 3 months, the mean corneal curvature[(41.93±1.12)D]was significantly lower than before orthokeratology[(43.56±1.44)D], and the difference was statistically significant(t=11.539, P<0.05). However, the effect didn’t persist without continued OK lens wear 1 month later.Compared with the control group, the growth of the diopter and axial length in the observation group were significantly slower(t=16.784, P<0.05; t=5.623, P<0.05). At the initial wearing, 34% of the observation group occurred corneal epithelial injury, but they all recovered by stop wearing and appropriate medication.With the prolong of wear time, the proportion of injury reduced. Conclusion Uncorrected visual acuity of mild and moderate myopia children wearing OK lens can significantly improve at 1 day, then is basically stable after 1 year, but declines within 2 years, which indicates the need for timely replacement of the lens.Long-term wearing is effective and safe to control the development of myopia.
