Misophonia is a psychophysiological and behavioral disorder characterized by an individual's low tolerance to specific sounds, leading to intense negative emotional experiences and physiological responses. Currently, there is no standardized and universally effective treatment for misophonia in clinical practice worldwide. This article reports the case of an 18-year-old male patient with misophonia who showed poor response to sertraline combined with exposure and response prevention therapy. Subsequently, the patient received 8 weeks of Morita therapy (once a week, 50 minutes per session), with symptomatic improvement. By presenting this case, we explore the potential efficacy of Morita therapy in treating misophonia, aiming to provide a reference for its clinical management.

Objective To discuss the pathogenesis of postmenopausal osteoporosis,and to validate molecular docking and predict the composition of traditional Chinese medicine based on reverse network pharmacological.Methods The shared targets of"osteoporosis"and"postmenopausal"were extracted and demonstrated by using Venn diagram.The common targets were analyzed for gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)enrichment.The protein-protein interaction(PPI)network was constructed to clarify the pathogenesis,pathways and key targets of postmenopausal osteoporosis,and finally the key target-active ingredient-traditional Chinese medicine network was constructed,and the characteristics,taste and tropism of traditional Chinese medicines with high identification values were sorted out.Results For postmenopausal osteoporosis,17 key targets of which degree value ≥ 10 that could match with traditional Chinese medicines were analysis in traditional Chinese medicine systems pharmacology database and analysis platform(TCMSP),and the results of 18 times of molecular docking tests were stable and good which performed on the highest degree value 3 targets with 6 traditional Chinese medicines components(degree value≥5,oral bioavailability≥30%,drug likeness≥0.18).Collected 52 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines(degree value ≥4)were mainly cold and bitter,belonging to liver and lung channels in channel tropism,promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis in efficacy from 300 kinds of traditional Chinese medicines.Conclusion In this study,the targets,pathways,compositions and prescriptions were predicted for postmenopausal osteoporosis based on reverse network pharmacological and molecular docking.However,the thinking be broadening for the formulation of traditional Chinese medicine which appropriately added bitter cold drugs、drugs entering liver and lung channels,blood-activating and blood-stasis removing drugs and high-value Chinese medicines such as Ginkgo biloba,Cuscuta,Cauleratholoba,Licorice and Astragalus to improve joint inflammation,inhibit osteoclast differentiation,promote osteoblast differentiation and prevent osteoporosis for the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis.

AIM:To explore the promoting action of chloroquine on the anti-proliferation effect of dexametha-sone on acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells .METHODS:CCK-8 assay was used to assess the viability of the dexametha-sone-resistant human acute lymphoblastic leukemia CEM-C1 cell line treated with the combination of chloroquine and dexa-methasone .Western blotting , quantitative real-time PCR and LysoTracker Red staining were utilized to examine the mecha-nism.RESULTS:Combination of chloroquine and dexamethasone significantly inhibited the proliferation of CEM -C1 cells compared with control group (P<0.01).The combination of chloroquine and dexamethasone increased the abundance of glucocorticoid receptor and inhibited lysosomal function , while lysosomal inhibitor bafilomycin A 1 also increased glucocorti-coid signaling .CONCLUSION:Dexamethasone combined with chloroquine triggers an anti-proliferation effect on CEM-C1 cells via a lysosome-mediated pathway .

Objective To investigate the physiological and psychological symptoms of drug abusers under rehabilitation period through labor.Methods A self-designed clinical symptoms questionnaire and Eysenck Personality Questionaire (EPQ) were used to evaluate 1 004 drug abusers under rehabilitation period through labor, and the related symptoms were analyzed.Results The mainly physiological symptoms were fatigue, forgetfulness, aching pain of joints, arrhythmia and discomfort of limbs, and the mainly psychological symptoms are drug craving, insomnia and anxiety. The mean scores of P and E were higher in those who had the drug craving symptoms ( P<0.01), and the mean scores of N were higher in those who had the insomnia or anxiety symptoms ( P<0.01).Conclusion The mainly physiological symptoms of drug abusers under rehabilitation period through labor are fatigue, forgetfulness, aching pain of joints, arrhythmia and discomfort of limbs, which are probably caused by the unbalance of the nervous and internal secretive systems, and the plastisity of the nervous system. The psychological symptoms may due to the effect of morphine and the personality of the drug abusers.

OBJECTIVEMultiple subpial transection (MST) is one approach to the surgical treatment of intractable epilepsy with epileptogenic lesion located in functional areas. To verify the effect of MST, an experimental study was performed first, followed by clinical application.
METHODSOn the basis of the experimental study, MST was performed in 200 intractable epileptic patients from 1991 to 2000. Of them, 80 cases underwent MST only while 120 others underwent MST combined with other techniques, such as corpus callosotomy, temporal lobectomy and focus resection. A series of modifications of the surgical techniques were made.
RESULTSThe results of the experimental study indicated that MST could inhibit the formation and spreading of epileptic discharge and limit the damage to neurons in a minimal area on the epileptogenic agent injected cortex. MST does not impair major functions of the cortex. After the clinical application and modifications, 160 patients were followed up for 1 to 8 years. Complete control of seizure was obtained in 100 cases (62.5%), significant reduction (more than 75%) in 32, reduction (more than 50%) in 20 and no change in 8. The total rate of effectiveness was 95.0%, and the significant rate of effectiveness was 82.5%. No functional defects were found in any patients.
CONCLUSIONSThe results indicate that MST is an effective approach to the surgical treatment of intractable epilepsy. MST can be combined with other approaches. The outcome of the subdivision of the MST only group indicates that MST on local epileptogenic lesion without structural changes is as effective as that of the combined operation group. To evade hemispheric disturbance, MST should be done first to avoid severe complications. Hemispherectomy should be performed only on poor effected cases of MST.

Objective To evaluate the accuracy of CT-guided stereotactic biopsy in making correct pathological diagnosis and choosing corresponding management of brain tumors. Methods From 1991 to 1995, CT-guided stereotactic biopsy was performed in 310 patients with intra-cerebral lesions which were deep-seated or located in certain main functional areas. The patients were 198 men and 112 women. Their ages ranged from 4.5 to 70 years (average: 39.3 years). The lesions were located in the deep cerebrum (74 patients), the sellar area (62), the basal ganglion (51), the posterior part of the third ventricle (38), other intraventricleular area (21), the cerebellum (17) and the brain stem (9), and intracranial multiple lesions were found in 38 patients.Results Brain tumors were diagnosed pathologically in 266 patients (85.8%); inflammatory process in 25 (8.1%), other lesions in 8 (2.6%) and uncertain cases were 11 (3.6%). The overall positive rate of biopsy was 96.4% and the positive rate for brain tumor was 85.8%. Intracranial hematomas after biopsy were found in 5 patients (1.6%). There were no deaths induced by the biopsy or other serious complications.Conclusions The results suggest that CT-guided stereotactic biopsy is a reliable method for histopathological diagnosis of brain tumors and it is also of great help in selecting appropriate management.
