In order to study the compounds from Glechoma longituba (Nakai) Kupr. and explore the substance bases of its dissipating blood stasis, MCI, silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, ODS column chromatography and preparative thin layer chromatography were used to isolate and purify the compounds. The structures were identified by MS, 1D NMR, and 2D NMR spectra analysis, etc. Eight triterpenoids were isolated from dichloromethane fraction of ethanol extract from G. longituba and identified as 2α,3α,16β-trihydroxy-13α,27-cyclours-11-en-28-oic acid (1), 28-norurs-12-ene-3β,17β-diol (2), 28-norolean-12-ene-3β,17β-diol (3), oleanonic acid (4), 3β,13β-dihydroxyurs-11-en-28-oic acid (5), uvaol (6), oleanolic acid (7), ursolic acid (8). Compound 1 is a new hexacyclic triterpene with 13α,27-cyclopropane structure, named euscaphic acid H; compounds 2 and 3 were isolated from Lamiaceae for the first time while compounds 4 and 5 were isolated from this genus. The in vitro anticoagulant activity of triterpenoids was evaluated by four coagulation indexes (activated partial thromboplastin time, APTT; thrombin time, TT; prothrombin time, PT; fibrinogen, FIB). Among them, compounds 1 and 6 showed obvious anticoagulant effects.

Traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome (TSOFS) is a symptom complex caused by nerve entrapment in the supraorbital fissure after skull base trauma. If the compressed cranial nerve in the supraorbital fissure is not decompressed surgically, ptosis, diplopia and eye movement disorder may exist for a long time and seriously affect the patients′ quality of life. Since its overall incidence is not high, it is not familiarized with the majority of neurosurgeons and some TSOFS may be complicated with skull base vascular injury. If the supraorbital fissure surgery is performed without treatment of vascular injury, it may cause massive hemorrhage, and disability and even life-threatening in severe cases. At present, there is no consensus or guideline on the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS that can be referred to both domestically and internationally. To improve the understanding of TSOFS among clinical physicians and establish standardized diagnosis and treatment plans, the Skull Base Trauma Group of the Neurorepair Professional Committee of the Chinese Medical Doctor Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Neurosurgery Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, Neurotrauma Group of the Traumatology Branch of the Chinese Medical Association, and Editorial Committee of Chinese Journal of Trauma organized relevant experts to formulate Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic supraorbital fissure syndrome ( version 2024) based on evidence of evidence-based medicine and clinical experience of diagnosis and treatment. This consensus puts forward 12 recommendations on the diagnosis, classification, treatment, efficacy evaluation and follow-up of TSOFS, aiming to provide references for neurosurgeons from hospitals of all levels to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of TSOFS.

Objective To determine the neurotoxic effects of amyloid beta 42(Aβ42)oligomers and investigate the mechanism of their induction of Alzheimer's disease(AD)-like pathogenesis in neuronal cells.Methods Western blotting and transmission electron microscopy were used to identify the synthesized Aβ42 oligomers.In order to assess the impact of the oligomers,MTT assay was employed to measure cell viability in neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y treated with 10μmol/L Aβ42 oligomers for 12 or 24 h,glutamatergic neurons derived from human embryonic stem cells(hESC)exposed to Aβ42 oligomers for 24,48,or 96 h,and corresponding control cells.TUNEL assay was utilized to assess the apoptosis of glutamatergic neurons.Additionally,immu-nofluorescence assay was applied to detect the changes in Aβ plaques and p-tau pathology.Results Western blotting displayed monomers and small-molecule aggregation(＜30 000)in our synthe-sized Aβ42 oligomers,and transmission electron microscopy showed that the synthesized oligomers were mainly in a shape of spherical particles.Treatment of 10 μmol/L Aβ42 oligomers for 12 and 24 h in SH-SY5Y cells significantly decreased cell viability when compared with the control cells[(70.89±2.54)％vs(100.00±2.02)％,(52.63±3.37)％vs(100.00±2.80)％,P＜0.05].The 10μmol/L oligomers treatment for 24,48 and 96 h also decreased cell viability in glutamatergic neu-rons(P＜0.05).The apoptotic rates was significantly higher in glutamatergic neurons after treat-ment for 48 and 96 h when compared to the control cells[(1.44±0.31)％vs(1.00±0.38)％,(1.75±0.64)％vs(1.00±0.31)％,P＜0.05].Furthermore,circular granular Aβ-positive plaque signals were observed in the glutamatergic neurons after treated with the oligomers for 24,48,and 96 h,but no such plaque signals were seen in the control cells.Additionally,glutamatergic neurons incu-bation with 10 μmol/L oligomers for 24 h resulted in tau hyperphosphorylation at the Thr231 site,with the average fluorescence intensity significantly higher than that in control cells(P＜0.05).Conclusion Aβ42 oligomers show toxic effects to both SH-SY5Y cells and glutamatergic neurons,and they can also induce glutamatergic neurons to produce AD pathology.

Objective: To compare the application of China growth standard for children under 7 years of age (China standards) and World Health Organization child growth standards (WHO standards) in evaluating the prevalence of malnutrition in children aged 0-<6 years in China. Methods: The research data came from the national special program for science & technology basic resources investigation of China, named "2019-2021 survey and application of China's nutrition and health system for children aged 0-18 years". Multi-stage stratified random sampling was used to recruit 28 districts (regions) in 14 provinces, autonomous regions or municipalities across the country. Children (n=38 848) were physically measured and questionnaires were conducted in the guardians of the children. The indicators of stunting, underweight, wasting, overweight and obesity were evaluated by China standards and WHO standards respectively. Chi-square test was used to comparing the prevalence of each nutritional status between the two standards, as well as the comparison between the two standards by gender and age. Results: Among the 38 848 children, 19 650 were boys (50.6%) and 19 198 were girls (49.4%), 19 480 urban children (50.1%) and 19 368 rural children (49.9%). The stunting, underweight and wasting cases in the study population were 2 090 children (5.4%), 1 354 children (3.5%) and 1 276 children (3.3%) according to the China standards, and 1 474 children (3.8%), 701 children (1.8%) and 824 children (2.1%) according to the WHO standards, respectively; the above rates according to the China standards were slightly higher than those to the WHO standards (χ²=111.59, 213.14, and 99.99, all P<0.001). The overweight and obesity cases in the study population were 2 186 children (5.6%) and 1 153 children (3.0%) according to the China standards, and 2 210 children (5.7%) and 1 186 children (3.1%) according to the WHO standards, with no statistically significant differences (χ²=0.14 and 0.48, P=0.709 and 0.488, respectively). Compared to the results based on WHO standards, the China standards showed a lower prevalence of overweight and obesity in boys (χ²=14.95 and 5.85, P<0.001 and =0.016, respectively), and higher prevalence of overweight in girls (χ²=12.60, P<0.001); but there was no statistically significant differences in girls' obesity prevalence between the two standards (χ²=2.62, P=0.106). Conclusions: In general, the prevalence of malnutrition among children aged 0-<6 years based on China standards is slightly higher than that on WHO standards. To evaluate the nutritional status of children, it is advisable to select appropriate child growth standards based on work requirements, norms or research objectives.

Abstract Allergic diseases can occur in all systems of the body, covering the whole life cycle, from children to adults and to old age, can be lifelong onset and even fatal in severe cases. Children account for the largest proportion of the victims of allergic disease, Children s allergies start from scratch, ranging from mild to severe, from less to more, from single to multiple systems and systemic performance, so the prevention and treatment of allergic diseases in children is of great importance, which can not only prevent high risk allergic conditions from developing into allergic diseases, but also further block the process of allergy. At present, there is no consensus on the management system of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools. The "Consensus on Allergy Management and Prevention in Kindergartens and Primary Schools", which includes the organizational structure, system construction and management of allergic children, provides evidence informed recommendations for the long term comprehensive management of allergic children in kindergartens and primary schools, and provides a basis for the establishment of the prevention system for allergic children.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the genetic characteristics of a fetus with a high risk by maternal serum screening during the second trimester. METHODS: Genetic counseling was provided to the pregnant woman on March 22, 2020 at Henan Provincial People's Hospital. G-banded chromosomal karyotyping and array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) were carried out on the amniotic fluid sample and peripheral blood samples from the couple. RESULTS: The fetus and the pregnant woman were respectively found to have a 46,XX,der(6)t(6;14)(q27;q31.2) and 46,XX,t(6;14)(q27;q31.2) karyotype, whilst the husband was found to have a normal karyotype. aCGH analysis has identified a 6.64 Mb deletion at 6q26q27 and a 19.98 Mb duplication at 14q31.3q32.33 in the fetus, both of which were predicted to be pathogenic copy number variations. No copy number variation was found in the couple. CONCLUSION The unbalanced chromosome abnormalities in the fetus have probably derived from the balanced translocation carried by the pregnant woman. aCGH can help to determine the types of fetal chromosome abnormalities and site of chromosomal breakage, which may facilitate the prediction of fetal outcome and choice for subsequent pregnancies.

Objective:To investigate the predictive value of mucosal vascular pattern (MVP) in colonic epithelial proliferation of patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) under narrow-band imaging (NBI) colonoscopy.Methods:From December 1, 2012 to January 31, 2015, 42 patients with UC visiting Peking Union Medical College Hospital and receiving NBI colonoscopy were selected. The images of 119 colorectal lesions of all the patients under the conventional white light and NBI endoscopy were collected and at least one biopsy of each lesion was obtained for histological assessment. All the endoscopic images were randomly allocated to one endoscopist (associated chief physician) for the MVP and the Mayo endoscopic score (MES) assessment. The degree of mucosal inflammation was graded from 0 to 4 according to the histological colitis score. The degree and distribution of Ki-67 expression were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining. Student-Newman-Keuls (SNK)- q test and Spearman rank correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results:Under NBI colonoscopy, the MVP of patients with UC was divided into clear type, obscure type and absent type. According to the morphology of mucosal glandular duct, the absent type was divided into crypt opening subtype and villous subtype. There was a positive correlation between MVP under NBI mode and the MES under white light mode ( r=0.80, P<0.001). The Ki-67 staining indexes of MVP obscure type, absent type, crypt opening subtype and villous subtype of absent type were all higher than that of MVP clear type (30.3±12.8, 45.9±12.5, 45.5±12.1 and 46.3±13.1 vs. 15.6±7.3), and the differences were statistically significant (SNK- q test, all P<0.001); and the Ki-67 staining indexes of MVP absent type, crypt opening subtype and villous subtype of MVP absent type were all higher than that of MVP obscure type, and the differences were statistically significant (SNK- q test, all P<0.001). There was a positive correlation between the MVP type under NBI colonoscopy and the distribution of Ki-67 expression ( r=0.49, P<0.001). The Ki-67 staining indexes of inflammation grade 2, 3 and 4 were higher than that of grade 1 (28.8±10.9, 40.2±11.6 and 49.5±10.3 vs. 17.1±8.4), and the difference was statistically significant (SNK- q test, all P<0.001); the Ki-67 staining indexes of inflammation grade 3 and 4 were higher than that of grade 2, and Ki-67 staining index of inflammation grade 4 was higher than that of grade 3, and the differences were statistically significant (SNK- q test, all P<0.001). The distribution of Ki-67 expression was positively correlated with the degree of histological inflammation ( r=0.56, P<0.001). Conclusions:The MVP under NBI colonoscopy may indirectly predict the colonic epithelial proliferation of patients with UC, which may be closely related to the degree of mucosal inflammation.

Aim To study the role of diosmetin ( Dio) in liver ischemia/reperfusion and its possible mecha-nism.Methods Thirty-two mice were randomly di¬vided into sham group, I/R group, low-dose Dio group and high-dose Dio group, with 8 mice in each group.The I/R group received liver I/R surgery, and the sham group performed sham surgery.The low- and high-dose Dio groups received intraperitoneal injection of 10 mg • kg ~1 and 40 mg • kg ~1 Dio at 30 min before liver I/R, respectively.Blood and liver samples were collected at 24 h after reperfusion.ELISA was used to detect the levels of interleukin ( IL)-ip, 1L-6, lactic dehydrogenase ( LDH ) and aspartate transaminase ( AST) in serum.Hie levels of malondialdehyde ( MDA ) , reactive oxygen species ( ROS) , reduced glutathione (GSH) and total bilirubin (TBIL) in liver homogenate were measured.HE staining was used to observe liver injury.Immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the expression of IL-ip in liver tis¬sues.Western blot was used to detect the expression of cleaved-c a spa se-3 , p-NF-kb p65 and p-p38 proteins in liver tissues.Results Compared with sham group, the degree of liver injury in I/R group significantly in¬creased , and the levels of 1L-1 (3, 1L-6, LDH and AST in serum, MDA, ROS and cleaved-caspase-3, p-NF- kb p65 and p-p38 proteins in liver tissues markedly in¬creased ; however, the levels of GSH and TB1L signifi¬cantly decreased, and the differences in the above in¬dexes were statistically significant.Compared with I/R group, the above indexes in low- and high-dose Dio groups were significantly improved, and the effect of high-dose group was better than that of low-dose group.Conclusions Dio pretreatment can reduce liver I/R injury, which may be related to the reduction of oxida¬tive stress and inflammation-related pathways induced by liver I/R.

Osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) can lead to lower back pain and may be even accompanied by scoliosis, neurological dysfunction and other complications, which will affect the daily activities and life quality of patients. Vertebral augmentation is an effective treatment method for OVCF, but it cannot correct unbalance of bone metabolism or improve the osteoporotic status, causing complications like lower back pain, limited spinal activities and vertebral refracture. The post-operative systematic and standardized rehabilitation treatments can improve curative effect and therapeutic efficacy of anti-osteoporosis, reduce risk of vertebral refracture, increase patient compliance and improve quality of life. Since there still lack relevant clinical treatment guidelines for postoperative rehabilitation treatments following vertebral augmentation for OVCF, the current treatments are varied with uneven therapeutic effect. In order to standardize the postoperative rehabilitation treatment, the Spine Trauma Group of the Orthopedic Branch of Chinese Medical Doctor Association organized relevant experts to refer to relevant literature and develop the "Guideline for postoperative rehabilitation treatment following vertebral augmentation for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (2022 version)" based on the clinical guidelines published by the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) as well as on the principles of scientificity, practicality and advancement. The guideline provided evidence-based recommendations on 10 important issues related to postoperative rehabilitation treatments of OVCF.
