Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of ultrasound elastography (UE) in patients with obese polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Methods:A total of 86 PCOS patients diagnosed in the Second People′s Hospital of Beilun District, Ningbo City from June 2019 to April 2022 were selected as the study group, including 32 patients with body mass inde(BMI) ≥25 kg/m 2 (obese group) and 54 patients with BMI < 25 kg/m 2 (non-obese group). Another 40 women with healthy physical examination and matching age and BMI of the study group were selected as the normal control group. All of them underwent routine vaginal ultrasound and UE examination, and the differences of parameters in each group were compared. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic efficacy of relevant parameters for PCOS and obesity PCOS. Results:The number of follicles and ovarian volume in the study group were higher than those in the normal control group, and the PI and RI of ovarian interstitial artery were lower than those in the normal control group: (17.50 ± 3.23) unit vs. (8.15 ± 2.01) unit, (12.97 ± 3.20) ml vs. (5.36 ± 1.82) ml, 0.82 ± 0.14 vs. 0.93 ± 0.20, 0.52 ± 0.12 vs. 0.58 ± 0.10, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The number of follicles and ovarian volume in the obese group were significantly higher than those in the non-obese group: (18.98 ± 3.45) unit vs. (16.62 ± 3.17) unit, (15.00 ± 3.15) ml vs. (11.77 ± 2.63) ml, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05); but the PI and RI between the obese group and the non-obese group had no significant differences ( P>0.05). In the study group, 56 cases (65.12%) had type 1 elastic pattern, which was significantly higher than 4 cases (10.00%) in the normal control group ( χ2 = 17.61, P<0.01). The elastic pattern was no significant difference between the obese group and the non-obese group ( P>0.05). The elastic coefficient (B/A ratio) in the study group was higher than in the normal control group:7.86 ± 1.51 vs. 4.53 ± 1.10, there was statistical difference ( P<0.05). The B/A ratio in the obese group was higher than that in the non-obese group and the normal control group: 8.76 ± 1.35 vs. 7.32 ± 1.34, 4.53 ± 1.10, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of B/A ratio for the diagnosis of PCOS was 0.962, when the cut-off value was 5.56, the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 93.02% and 87.50%. The AUC of B/A ratio for the diagnosis of obese PCOS was 0.788, when the cut-off value was 8.35, the corresponding sensitivity and specificity were 78.12% and 85.19%. Conclusions:The UE has great diagnostic value for PCOS and certain discrimination performance for obese PCOS.

Objective:To investigate the protective effect of Xuebijing injection on acute lung injury (ALI) associated with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) by regulating the apoptosis of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN).Methods:Thirty male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham operation group (Sham group), CPB model group (CPB group) and Xuebijing pretreatment group (XBJ group) according to the random number table method, with 10 rats in each group. Rats in the CPB group and XBJ group undergoing CPB procedures for 60 minutes. Rats in the Sham group did not undergo CPB. Rats in the XBJ group received intraperitoneal injection of 4 mL/kg Xuebijing injection 2 hours before CPB. Rats in the Sham group and CPB group were injected with an equal amount of normal saline. 4 hours after CPB, arterial blood was collected for blood gas analysis to calculate respiratory index (RI), and lung tissue of rats was collected for determination of lung index (LI) and pulmonary water containing rate. PMN in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were collected and the activity of caspase-3 was detected. The apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry. The expressions of microRNA-142-3p (miR-142-3p) and FoxO1 mRNA were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The protein expression of FoxO1 was detected by Western blotting. In addition, HL-60 cells were divided into control oligonucleotide transfection group, miR-142-3p mimics transfection group, and miR-142-3p inhibitor transfection group. After 48 hours of transfection, the activity of miR-142-3p binding to FoxO1 was detected using dual luciferase reporter genes.Results:Compared with Sham group, RI, LI and pulmonary water containing rate were significantly increased in CPB group. The caspase-3 activity and apoptosis rate of PMN obtained from BALF were significantly decreased, the expression of miR-142-3p was decreased, and the expression of FoxO1 protein was increased. However, compared with CPB group, RI, LI and pulmonary water containing rate were significantly decreased in XBJ group [RI: 0.281±0.066 vs. 0.379±0.071, LI: 4.50±0.26 vs. 5.71±0.42, pulmonary water containing rate: (80.31±32.50)% vs. (84.59±3.41)%, all P < 0.01]. The caspase-3 activity and apoptosis rate of PMN obtained from BALF were significantly increased [caspase-3 activity: 0.350±0.021 vs. 0.210±0.014, apoptosis rate: (15.490±1.382)% vs. (8.700±0.701)%, both P < 0.01], the expression of miR-142-3p was significantly up-regulated (2 -ΔΔCt: 2.61±0.17 vs. 0.62±0.05, P < 0.01), and the protein expression of FoxO1 was decreased [FoxO1/GAPDH (relative expression level): 0.81±0.04 vs. 1.22±0.06, P < 0.01]. However, there was no statistically significant difference in FoxO1 mRNA expression among the three groups. The bioinformatics analysis results showed that miR-142-3p can bind to the FoxO1 3'untranslated region (3'UTR). In HL-60 cells, compared with control oligonucleotide transfection group, the transfection of miR-142-3p mimics could reduce the expression of FoxO1 protein [FoxO1/GAPDH (relative expression level): 0.48±0.06 vs. 1.00±0.05, P < 0.01], however, the transfection of miR-142-3p inhibitor increased the expression of FoxO1 protein [FoxO1/GAPDH (relative expression level): 1.37±0.21 vs. 1.00±0.05, P < 0.05]. But, transfection with miR-142-3p mimics or inhibitor had no effect on FoxO1 mRNA expression. The luciferase reporter gene showed that miR-142-3p could bind to the FoxO1 3'UTR to inhibit FoxO1 expression. Conclusion:Xuebijing injection may promote the apoptosis of pulmonary alveolar PMN through the miR-142-3p/FoxO1 axis, and play a role in the prevention and treatment of CPB-induced ALI.

The organization of the brain follows a topological hierarchy that changes dynamically during development. However, it remains unknown whether and how cognitive training administered over multiple years during development can modify this hierarchical topology. By measuring the brain and behavior of school children who had carried out abacus-based mental calculation (AMC) training for five years (starting from 7 years to 12 years old) in pre-training and post-training, we revealed the reshaping effect of long-term AMC intervention during development on the brain hierarchical topology. We observed the development-induced emergence of the default network, AMC training-promoted shifting, and regional changes in cortical gradients. Moreover, the training-induced gradient changes were located in visual and somatomotor areas in association with the visuospatial/motor-imagery strategy. We found that gradient-based features can predict the math ability within groups. Our findings provide novel insights into the dynamic nature of network recruitment impacted by long-term cognitive training during development.

Objective To investigate the origin of Biomphalaria straminea in China, so as to provide insights into assessment of schistosomiasis mansoni transmission risk and B. straminea control. Methods Guanlan River, Dasha River, Shenzhen Reservoir, upper and lower reaches of Kuiyong River, and Xinzhen River in Shenzhen, China, were selected as sampling sites. Ten Biomphalaria samples were collected from each site, and genomic DNA was extracted from Biomphalaria samples. DNA samples were obtained from 15 B. straminea sampled from 5 sampling sites in Minas Gerais State, Pará State, Federal District, Pernambuco State, and Sao Paulo State in Brazil, South America. Cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) and mitochondrial 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) genes were sampled using the above DNA templates, and the amplified products were sequenced. The COI and 16S rRNA gene sequences were downloaded from GenBank, and the sampling sites were acquired. All COI and 16S rRNA gene sequences were aligned and evolutionary trees of B. straminea were created based on COI and 16S rRNA gene sequences to identify the genetic similarity and evolutionary relationship between B. straminea samples from China and South America. Results A total of 60 COI gene sequences with a length of 529 bp and 3 haplotypes were obtained from B. straminea sampled from China. There were 165 COI gene sequences of B. straminea retrieved from GenBank, and following alignment with the above 60 gene sequences, a total of 33 haplotypes were obtained. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the three haplotypes of B. straminea from China were clustered into one clade, among which the haplotype China11 and three B. straminea samples from Brazil retrieved from GenBank belonged to the same haplotype. Geographical evolution analysis showed that the B. straminea samples from three sampling sites along eastern coasts of Brazil had the same haplotype with China11, and B. straminea samples from other two sampling sites were closely, genetically related to China11. A total of 60 16S rDNA gene sequences with approximately 322 bp in length were amplified from B. straminea in China, with 2 haplotypes identified. A total of 70 16S rDNA gene sequences of B. straminea were captured from GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis showed that Biomphalaria snails collected from China were clustered into a clade, and the haplotype China64 and the haplotype 229BS from Brazil shared the same haplotype. The 49 16S rDNA gene sequences of B. straminea from 25 sampling sites in southern Brazil, which were captured from GenBank, were included in the present analysis, and the B. straminea from 3 sampling sites shared the same haplotype with China64 in China. Geographical evolution analysis based on COI and 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that B. straminea sampled from eastern coastal areas of Brazil shared the same haplotypes in two gene fragment sequences with Biomphalaria snails collected from China. Conclusions The Biomphalaria snails in China are characterized as B. straminea, which have a low genetic diversity. The Biomphalaria snails in China have a high genetic similarity with B. straminea sampled from eastern coastal areas of Brazil, which may have originated from the eastern coastal areas of Brazil.

ObjectiveBased on the integrated strategy of "empirical prescriptions in ancient books-medical cases by prestigious doctors-computational analysis"， this study aims to explore and analyze the prescriptions and medical cases for treating tremors in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， predict their efficacy， and obtain the core prescriptions for treating tremors in TCM， providing references for clinical application and new drug development. MethodThe Chinese Medicine Prescription Database and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure （CNKI） were searched for relevant prescriptions and medical cases for treating tremors in TCM to establish a database of prescriptions for tremors. The Traditional Chinese Medicine Inheritance Computer System （V3.0） was used to analyze and explore the medication rules including drug frequency， properties， flavor， meridian tropism， and pharmacological effects， as well as core drugs and formula associations. A multi-target drug efficacy prediction platform based on network robustness was used to evaluate the predicted efficacy of the core prescriptions obtained. Based on the integration of ancient prescriptions， prestigious doctors' medical cases， and network analysis results， the priority level of the developed prescriptions was determined through comprehensive evaluation. ResultA total of 81 ancient prescriptions were screened， involving 246 drugs， and 171 prescriptions were screened from prestigious doctors' medical cases， involving 278 drugs. The frequently used TCM drugs were mostly warm in nature and sweet in flavor， mainly acting on the liver， spleen， and kidney meridians. In terms of efficacy， they were mainly effective in tonifying deficiency， soothing liver and extinguishing wind， activating blood and resolving blood stasis， clearing heat， and resolving exterior. Through association rules and K-means clustering， the core prescriptions were composed of high-frequency drugs such as Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma， Astragali Radix， Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma， Angelicae Sinensis Radix， Poria， Gastrodiae Rhizoma， and Uncariae Ramulus Cum Uncis. Drug combinations mainly focused on tonifying Qi and nourishing blood， with the additional functions of calming wind and dredging collaterals. Clustering analysis of core prescriptions from ancient prescriptions and prestigious doctors' medical cases， as well as multi-target drug efficacy prediction， showed that Combination 1 had the highest disturbance score on the disease network. Furthermore， comparative analysis revealed consistent results with both the analysis of ancient prescriptions and prestigious doctors' medical cases， indicating its optimal development potential based on theoretical inheritance and empirical practice. In comparison， Combinations 3， 2， and 4 were less utilized in contemporary clinical practice， with lower rankings in network disturbance scores， suggesting that their development value still warranted further exploration. ConclusionTCM clinical treatment of tremors emphasizes the regulation of the liver， spleen， and kidney. In line of syndrome differentiation， drugs potent in soothing liver， extinguishing wind， activating blood， and resolving blood stasis are added based on deficiency-tonifying drugs. The core prescriptions based on Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma， Angelicae Sinensis Radix， Paeoniae Radix Alba， Astragali Radix， Poria， and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma （combination 1） have the highest potential development value. The integrated strategy "empirical prescriptions in ancient books-medical cases by prestigious doctors-computational analysis" can be used for the screening of candidate prescriptions for new TCM drugs.

Objective:To establish and assess the precision of pre-surgical condyle position planning using mandibular movement trajectory data for orthognathic surgery.Methods:Skull data from large-field cone beam computed tomography(CBCT)and dental oral scan data were imported into IVSPlan 1.0.25 software for 3D reconstruction and fusion,creating 3D models of the maxilla and mandible.Trajectory da-ta of mandibular movement were collected using a mandibular motion recorder,and the data were inte-grated with the jaw models within the software.Subsequently,three-dimensional trajectories of the con-dyle were obtained through matrix transformations,rendering them visually accessible.A senior oral and maxillofacial surgeon with experience in both diagnosis and treatment of temporomandibular joint disease and orthognathic surgery selected the appropriate condyle position using the condyle movement trajectory interface.During surgical design,the mobile mandibular proximal segment was positioned accordingly.Routine orthognathic surgical planning was completed by determining the location of the mandibular distal segment,which was based on occlusal relationships with maxilla and facial aesthetics.A virtual mandible model was created by integrating data from the proximal and distal segment bone.Subsequently,a solid model was generated through rapid prototyping.The titanium plate was pre-shaped on the mandibular model,and the screw hole positions were determined to design a condylar positioning guide device.In accordance with the surgical plan,orthognathic surgery was performed,involving mandibular bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy(SSRO).The distal segment of the mandible was correctly aligned inter-maxillary,while the proximal bone segment was positioned using the condylar positioning guide device and the pre-shaped titanium plate.The accuracy of this procedure was assessed in a study involving 10 patients with skeletal class Ⅱ malocclusion.Preoperative condyle location planning and intraoperative po-sitioning were executed using the aforementioned techniques.CBCT data were collected both before the surgery and 2 weeks after the procedure,and the root mean square(RMS)distance between the preope-rative design position and the actual postoperative condyle position was analyzed.Results:The RMS of the condyle surface distance measured was(1.59±0.36)mm(95％CI:1.35-1.70 mm).This value was found to be significantly less than 2 mm threshold recommended by the expert consensus(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The mandibular trajectory may play a guiding role in determining the position of the mandibular proximal segment including the condyle in the orthognathic surgery.Through the use of a con-dylar positioning guide device and pre-shaped titanium plates,the condyle positioning can be personalized and customized with clinically acceptable accuracy.
