Objective To investigate the effects of Tuina targeting different body parts on the behaviors and gut microflora of rat models with valproic acid(VPA)-induced autistic spectrum disorder(ASD). Methods Twenty female Sprague Dawley(SD)rats with 12.5 d of pregnancy were randomly divided into VPA model group[intraperitoneal injection of VPA(600 mg/kg),n=15]and saline group(intraperitoneal injection of equal amount of normal saline,n=5).The offspring male rats injected with saline were secleted as control group.The offspring male rats injected with VPA were randomly divided into VPA,dorsal,and abdominal groups(n=7 in each group).On the 21st day after birth,three-chamber social test,open field test,and marble-burying test were carried out to observe the social abilities,anxiety behaviors,and stereotypi-cal behaviors of rats in the four groups.Rats in dorsal and abdominal groups underwent Tuina for 14 d,twice a day.On the 35th day,behavioral tests were conducted again,and in-testinal contents were taken for species composition and structural analysis,as well as mark-er and differential species analysis. Results(i)According to behavioral observations,compared with VPA group,the social and movement time in the central open field of rats in dorsal group increased significantly(P<0.05),and the number of buried marbles decreased markedly(P<0.01),indicating improve-ment on their social abilities,anxiety behaviors,and stereotypical behaviors as consequences of dorsal Tuina;and the number of buried marbles was reduced as well in abdominal group when compared with VPA group(P<0.05),suggesting the improvement on their stereotypi-cal behaviors following abdominal Tuina.In the marble-burying test,the number of marbles buried in dorsal group was less than in abdominal group,and the stereotypical behaviors were improved more significantly(P<0.05),and there were no significant differences in the three-chamber social and open field tests between the two groups(P>0.05).(ii)In accor-dance with intestinal microflora detection results,compared with VPA group,both dorsal and abdominal groups showed increased richness(P<0.05)and elevated diversity(P<0.05 in dorsal group and P<0.01 in abdominal group)in intestinal microflora.The results of differen-tial analysis indicated that at the phylum level,compared with VPA group,the relative abun-dance of Firmicutes in rats in abdominal group showed a significant reduction trend(P<0.05);at the genus level,compared with VPA group,the relative abundance of Lactobacillus in rats in dorsal and abdominal groups decreased significantly(P<0.05).Dorsal group also showed significant increase in the genus Blautia in the analysis of marker species compared with VPA group(P<0.05). Conclusion Tuina impacted the behavior and gut microflora structure of ASD model rats.Dorsal intervention had a significant effect on social abilities,anxiety behaviors,and stereo-typical behaviors of ASD model rats,while abdominal intervention only had an obvious effect on stereotypical behaviors.Both dorsal and abdominal interventions increased the richness and diversity of gut microflora of ASD model rats,with abdominal intervention improving the intestinal microbial diversity more significantly and resulting in a more uniform species dis-tribution.

Objective To establish a population pharmacokinetic(PPK)model of duloxetine in Chinese subjects.Methods Based on the data of intensive sampling of duloxetine hydrochloride enteric coated tablets in 36 healthy subjects after single/multiple administrations,a PPK model of duloxetine was established using NONMEM software.The effects of gender,age,body weight,albumin,serum creatinine,glutamic pyruvic transaminase and dose on pharmacokinetic parameters were investigated by stepwise forward and backward methods.Model validation includes goodness of fit,visual prediction check and bootstrap.Results The PPK model of duloxetine was a one compartment model with first-order elimination and the absorption characteristics were described by the transit model,and the dose was a covariate of clearance.The inter-individual variability of clearance,volume of distribution,mean transit time and number of transit compartments were 54.71％,56.86％,27.30％and 87.71％,respectively.Conclusion The transit model more reasonably describes the absorption characteristics of duloxetine in Chinese subjects.

Seven triterpenoids were isolated and purified from the 95% aqueous EtOH extract whole plants of P. villosa by various chromatographic techniques, such as silica gel, ODS, Sephadex LH-20 gel column chromatography and preparative high performance liquid chromatography. Based on physicochemical properties and spectral analyses, the structures of the seven compounds were identified as 29-acetoxyoleanolic acid-3-O-α-L-arabinopyranoside (1), oleanolic acid (2), 3β-hydroxy-24-norursa-4(23),12,20(30)-trien-28-oic acid (3), 3β-hydroxy-24-nor-urs-4(23),12-dien-28-oic acid (4), ursolic acid (5), hederagenin (6), oleanolic acid 3-O-arabinoside (7). Compound 1 is a new compound. Compounds 3, 4, 6, and 7 are isolated from P. villosa for the first time. All compounds were assayed for their anti-inflammatory activity by the prodution of NO in lipopolysaccharide-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells. The results showed that compounds 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 7 significantly inhibited the NO release.

Spinal cord injury, a severe injury of the central nervous system, shows high disability and mortality rate and seriously affects the patients′ quality of life. It is difficult to restore the spinal cord and achieve satisfactory neurological function improvement with various current treatments for spinal cord injury. Electric stimulation can accelerate axonal growth and myelination and promote nervous tissue repair and regeneration. Conductive hydrogels that can load electric stimulation have great potential in the treatment of spinal cord injuries. Under electric stimulation, different types of conductive hydrogels have different characteristics and can perform a variety of functions. However, clinicians still lack a comprehensive understanding of their application effects in repair of spinal cord injury. To this end, the authors reviewed the research progress on the role of electric stimulation as well as the characteristics and applications of different types of conductive hydrogels in repair of spinal cord injury to provide references for the synthesis and clinical transformation of conductive hydrogels for repair of spinal cord injury.

Objective:To evaluate the correlation between the degree of posterior longitudinal ligament (PLL) injury and various parameters of vertebral body injury in patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures.Methods:A total of 48 patients with thoracolumbar burst fractures were admitted to the Spine Surgery Center of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University between December 2022 and January 2024. The cohort consisted of 31 males and 17 females, with a mean age of 44.1±11.8 years (range, 18-65 years). Based on the PLL injury grading method proposed by Sun Zhaoyun, patients were classified into three groups: mild, moderate, and severe. However, due to an insufficient number of patients in the severe group ( n=3), the moderate and severe groups were combined for statistical analysis, resulting in two groups: mild, and moderate-to-severe. Patient demographic and clinical data were collected. Local kyphosis (LK), inversion angle (IA), horizontal rotation angle (HRA), increased interspinous distance (IISD), anterior vertebral body compression ratio (AVBCR), posterior vertebral body compression ratio (PVBCR), middle vertebral body compression ratio (MVBCR), the ratio of height of bone fragment (RHBF), the ratio of width of bone fragment (RWBF), and mid-sagittal canal diameter compression ratio (MSDCR) were measured. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 25.0. Categorical variables were expressed as frequency (percentage) and analyzed using chi-square and Fisher exact tests. Continuous variables were tested for normality, with non-normally distributed data analyzed using the rank-sum test and expressed as median (interquartile range). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to identify independent risk factors, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted to calculate the area under the curve (AUC) to evaluate predictive performance. Results:Among the 48 patients, only 3 were found to have severe PLL injury, necessitating the combination of the moderate and severe groups for statistical purposes. Patients in the moderate-to-severe group demonstrated significantly higher AVBCR, PVBCR, RHBF, MVBCR, MSDCR, and IA compared to the mild group ( P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression identified AVBCR, PVBCR, MSDCR, and IA as independent risk factors for moderate-to-severe PLL injury ( OR>1, P<0.05). ROC curve analysis revealed that AVBCR, PVBCR, MSDCR, IA, and their combined index could effectively predict moderate-to-severe PLL injury ( P<0.05). Notably, the combined index showed superior predictive performance (AUC=0.970) compared to individual parameters. Threshold values were determined as follows: AVBCR>45.30%, PVBCR>12.17%, MSDCR>27.13%, IA>5.90°, and the combined index >0.61, indicating PLL damage. Conclusion:AVBCR, PVBCR, MSDCR, IA, and their combined index are significantly associated with moderate-to-severe PLL injury in thoracolumbar burst fractures. The combined index demonstrates superior predictive ability compared to single parameters, providing a reliable tool for assessing PLL integrity.
