Objective To observe the effect of Bushen Huoxue Decoction(BSHX)on PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and explore its possible mechanism in improving synaptic plasticity in a vascular dementia(VD)rat model.Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(Sham group),model group(VD group),Bushenhuoxue decoction group(BSHXD group),nimodipine group(NMDP group),with 10 rats in each group.The VD model of rats was established by two-vessel(2-VO)occlusion method.Rats in BSHXD group were given BSHXD at a weight of 10.14 g·kg-1,while rats in the NMDP group were given nimodipine decoction at 11 mg·kg-1.The SHAM group and the VD group were given saline at a weight of 10 mL·kg-1 once a day for 4 weeks.Morris water maze was used to observe the spatial learning and memory ability of rats in each group.Nissl staining was used to observe the damage of Nissl bodies and neurons in CA1 area of hippocampus of rats.The expression of synaptophysin(SYN)and postsynaptic density protein 95(PSD-95)in hippocampal CA1 region was detected by immunohistochemistry.Golgi-Cox staining method was used to observe the number changes of dendritic branches and spines of hippocampal neurons.Transmission electron microscopy(TEM)observed the ultrastructural change of synapses.The protein and mRNA expressions of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K),serine-threonine kinase(AKT)and mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)in rat hippocampus were detected by Western blot and Reverse transcription quantitative PCR(RT-qPCR).Results Compared with the control group,the learning and memory ability of VD rats decreased.These rats showed abnormal synaptic ultrastructure of hippocampal neurons and neuronal cell damage,and this was accompanied by a decrease in the density of dendrite branches and dendritic spines of neurons.The expression of both SYN and PSD-95 proteins in the hippocampus decreased(P<0.05),and synaptic plasticity was damaged.Both mRNA and protein expression of PI3K,Akt,and mTOR in the hippocampus decreased in the VD rats(P<0.05).Also observed in VD rats was that administration of BHSX mitigated the learning and memory impairment observed in these animals,improved the morphology and synaptic ultrastructure of hippocampal neurons,increased the mRNA and protein expression levels of PI3K,Akt,mTOR,and increased the protein levels of SYN and PSD-95(P<0.05).Conclusion BSHX can alleviate the learning and memory impairment of VD rats and increase the protein expression levels of synapse-related proteins.These effects may be related to the promotion of synaptic plasticity by BSHX through activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling.

Objective:To improve the clinical differential diagnosis ability of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) complicated with gout and septic arthritis (SA).Methods:The clinical characteristics, diagnosis, and treatment of one RA patient with hyperuricemia and recurrent swelling and pain in right shoulder were reported and discussed.Results:A patient, with a history of RA for 10 years, hyperuricemia for 8 years, recurrent swelling and pain in right shoulder for 1 year. RA, gout, and SA were diagnosed before, and the response was poor after symptomatic treatment. In recent 1 month, the symptom was aggravated with the formation of fistula on the right shoulder. The laboratory tests for tuberculosis T cell interferon release test (IGRA) and tuberculin (PPD) test were negative, and the CD4 + cell count decreased. The comprehensive analysis of the imaging with right shoulder showed MSU deposition on right shoulder, with bone erosion, bone destruction, bone marrow edema, joint effusion, and multiple sites of connective tissue involvement (synovial bursa, tendon sheath, tendon, and muscle) GeneXpert MTB/RIF (GeneXpert), metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) of puncture fluid and joint fluid culture prompted Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex group. He was finally diagnosed with RA, gout, and osteoarticular tuberculosis (OAT). Symptoms were relieved after symptomatic treatment. Conclusion:RA patients with hyperuricemia have recurrent single arthritis. In addition to considering for gout, the presence of OAT should also be considered. The immune functional status of the patient and drug used may interfere with the interpretation of immune function tests. It is necessary to integrate the clinical characteristics of patients, a variety of imaging examinations, and etiological detection to confirm the diagnosis and avoid misdiagnosis.

Objective:To investigate the association between levator hiatus area, pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) examination and prolapse symptoms.Methods:The prospective multicenter study enrolled 996 female patients between January 2017 and January 2019. All enrolled patients underwent a standard clinical interview, POP-Q examination and transperineal ultrasound examination. Volume data of pelvic floor ultrasound examinations were obtained at rest, during contraction and during maximal Valsalva maneuver. The association between levator hiatus area, POP-Q examination and prolapse symptoms was analyzed. The performance of levator hiatus area on maximal Valsalva for assessing significant POP(POP-Q stage≥2) and prolapse symptoms were also evaluated.Results:There were significant differences of levator hiatus area at rest, during contraction and during maximal Valsalva among patients with different POP-Q stages (all P<0.001). Levator hiatus area during maximal Valsalva showed the highest correlation with abdominal dragging sensation ( r=0.277, P<0.001). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of levator hiatus area during maximal Valsalva for significant POP (POP-Q stage≥2) was significantly higher than that for prolapse symptoms (AUC: 0.77 vs 0.69, P<0.001). Conclusions:Levator hiatus area on transperineal has moderate correlation with POP-Q examination and their association is stronger than the correlation between ultrasound findings and prolapse symptoms.

Objective:To investigate the feasibility of transperineal ultrasound in quantitative assessment of posterior compartment prolapse among Chinese women.Methods:The prospective multicenter study enrolled 485 women between January 2017 and January 2019. All patients underwent a standard clinical interview, pelvic organ prolapse quantification (POP-Q) examination and transperineal ultrasound examination. Volume data of transperineal ultrasound examinations were obtained at rest and in maximal Valsalva maneuver.Results:The higher POP-Q stage of posterior compartment, the lower rectal ampulla position in maximal Valsalva maneuver (POP-Q stage=0 vs POP-Q stage=1, P<0.001; POP-Q stage=1 vs POP-Q stage≥2, P<0.001), and the greater rectal ampulla hypermobility (POP-Q stage=0 vs POP-Q stage=1, P<0.001; POP-Q stage=1 vs POP-Q stage≥ 2, P=0.007). The rectal ampulla position at rest and in maximal Valsalva maneuver and rectocele depth were correlated with prolapse symptoms ( r=-0.200, P<0.001; r=-0.252, P<0.001; r=0.086, P=0.045). The corresponding cut-off values of rectal ampulla position in maximal Valsalva in diagnosing posterior compartment prolapse (POP-Q stage ≥1) and clinical significant posterior compartment prolapse (POP-Q stage ≥2) were 7.32 mm below the symphysis pubis and 12 mm below the symphysis pubis, respectively, with the area under the ROC curve as 0.75 and 0.85, respectively. Conclusions:The ultrasonic measurements by transperineal ultrasound is significantly associated with POP-Q examination in posterior compartment, and it is demonstrated as a useful tool in quantitative assessment of the severity of posterior compartment prolapse.

Objective: To investigate the situation of social support (SS), and explore its relationship with antenatal depression (AD) among Zhejiang primiparas in their third trimesters. Methods: From March to August 2016, a cross-sectional study was conducted and the questionnaire was used at the outpatient consulting room of one maternity hospital in Hangzhou. Inclusion criteria includes the primiparas over 18 years old, gestation from 30 to 36 weeks, been able to understand and complete the questionnaires independently, no family history and history of mental disorders and no use of psychotropic drugs, without serious illness and so on. Exclusion criteria was that the primiparas were unable to complete all the contents of the questionnaire and of poor compliance. 1 150 questionnaires were actually given out, and 1 075 questionnaires were valid, so the valid rate was 93.48%. AD was evaluated by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and SS was evaluated by the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). SS between the non-AD group and the AD group was compared. The correlation between SS and AD was analyzed. Binary logistic regression model was used to assess the relationship between SS and AD. The level of SS was divided by average scores, groups lower than the average score was defined as the low-score group, groups higher than the average score was defined as the high-score group. Results: The prevalence of AD (score≥9) was 27.3% (293/1 075) among Zhejiang primiparas in their third trimesters. The scores of family support, friend support and other support, and the total score of SS among the non-AD group were 24.80±2.83, 23.40±3.00, 21.91±3.54 and 70.11±7.92, respectively, which were higher than those in the AD group (22.71±3.88, 21.45±3.59, 19.95±3.97, 64.10±10.01), (t values were 8.43, 8.29, 7.83 and 9.25, respectively, P<0.001 for all). The scores of family support, friend support and other support, and the total score of SS were negatively correlated with AD (rs values were-0.26,-0.25,-0.22 and-0.28, respectively, P<0.001 for all). Compared with low-score group, the scores of family support, friend support and other support, and the total score of SS among the high-score group had a lower risk of antenata depression among primiparas in their third trimesters, OR(95%CI) values were 0.56 (0.41-0.77), 0.66(0.47-0.92), 0.57(0.41-0.79) and 0.36(0.27-0.48), respectively. Conclusion The prevalence of AD among Zhejiang primiparas was relatively high, and AD was negatively associated with SS level. We suggest adding SS in community pregnancy health management service in the future.
