RESUMEN
Depression is a prevalent mental illness worldwide, its multifaceted pathogenesis is still in the exploratory stage. MicroRNA (miRNA), as a crucial epigenetic regulator, plays an important role in depression. miR-124 is one of the most abundant miRNAs in the central nervous system including neurons and microglia, and involved in various biological events like neuron development and differentiation, synaptic and axonal growth, neural plasticity, inflammation and autophagy. Recent studies have reported abnormal expression of miR-124 in both depression patients and animal models. Most of the studies showed that miR-124 is upregulated in the hippocampus or prefrontal cortex in stress-induced rodent depression animal models such as CUMS, CSDS, CORT, CRS and LH but some evidence for divergence. Upregulation of miR-124 expression may be involved in depression-like behavior via CREB/BDNF/TrkB pathway, GR pathway, SIRT1 pathway, apoptosis and autophagy pathways by directly targeting these genes including Creb, Bdnf, Sirt1, Nr3c1, Ezh2 and Stat3. The downregulation of miR-124 expression in neurons is mainly involved in the neurogenesis and neuroplasticity impairments in depression by targeting the Notch signaling pathway and DDIT4/TSC1/2/mTORC1 pathway. The downregulation of miR-124 expression also was found in the activated microglia in the stress-induced models, and resulted in neuroinflammation. In summary, the abnormal expression of miR-124 in the brain of depression-related models and its related mechanisms are complex and even contradictory, and still need further research. This review provides a summary of the research progress of miR-124 in depression.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTranscription factor NFE2 was observed abnormal expression in myeloproliferative neoplasm (MPN) patients. However, how NFE2 is transcriptionally regulated remains ambiguous. This study aims to explore the elements and molecular mechanisms involved in the transcriptional regulation of NFE2. MethodsActive enhancers were predicted by public NGS data and conformed experimentally via dual luciferase reporter assay. After that, PRO-seq and GRO-seq data was used to detect enhancer RNAs transcribed from these enhancers. RACE was utilized to clone the full length enhancer RNA (eRNA) transcripts, and RT-qPCR was used to measure their expression in different leukemia cell lines as well as the transcript levels during induced differentiation. Finally, to investigate the molecular function of the eRNA, overexpression and knockdown of the eRNA via lentivirus system was performed in K562 cells. ResultsWe identified three enhancers regulating NFE2 transcription, which located at -3.6k, -6.2k and +6.3k from NFE2 transcription start site (TSS) respectively. At the -3.6k enhancer, we cloned an eRNA transcript and characterized that as a lncRNA which was expressed and located in the nucleus in three types of leukemia cell lines. When this lncRNA was overexpressed, expression of NFE2 was upregulated and decreases of K562 cell proliferation and migration ability were observed. While knocking down of this lncRNA, the level of NFE2 decreases correspondingly and the proliferation ability of K562 cells increases accordingly. ConclusionWe identified an enhancer lncRNA that regulates NFE2 transcription positively and suppresses K562 cell proliferation.
RESUMEN
Objective: To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of intravascular large B-cell lymphoma (IVLBCL) and its collision tumors. Methods: Five cases of IVLBCL were collected, including 2 cases of collision tumors, and 1 case complicated with liver cirrhosis. The morphology and immunophenotype were analyzed. The related literature was reviewed. Results: There were 2 females and 3 males, aged from 53 to 73 years, with a median age of 65 years. The tumors were located in the lower extremities, right cerebellar hemisphere, left kidney, bilateral nasal cavity, and liver, respectively. Cases 2 and 3 were incidentally found in meningioma and renal cell carcinoma tissues, respectively. Case 5 had a background of liver cirrhosis. Morphologically, atypical large lymphoid cells were located in small blood vessels and capillary lumen, with little cytoplasm, hyperchromasia, prominent nucleoli, and obvious mitotic figures. Immunohistochemically, the IVLBCL tumor cells expressed CD20 and PAX5; 2 cases were CD5 positive. One of the 5 cases was GCB phenotype, and 4 cases were non-GCB phenotype. All cases expressed C-MYC (positive rate was 10%-40%). PD-L1 was positive in 4 cases (positive rate was 60%-90%). Ki-67 proliferation index was 70%-90%. CKpan, CD3, TDT, and CD34 were negative. In case 2, meningioma cells were positive for PR, EMA, and vimentin, but negative for CKpan and PD-L1. In case 3, renal carcinoma cells were positive for CKpan, PAX8, EMA, vimentin, CAⅨ and CD10, while PD-L1 was negative. No EBER expression (by in situ hybridization) or C-MYC gene translocation (FISH, break-apart probe) was detected in any of the 5 cases. Three patients were followed up, and all died within 1-13 months. Conclusions: IVLBCL is a highly aggressive lymphoma, with occult clinical manifestations and poor prognosis. Collision tumors of IVLBCL are extremely rare. A better understanding of IVLBCL would help pathologists avoid misdiagnoses.

Objective:To explore the effects of Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture on vascular endothelial function and inflammatory factors in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) after ischemic stroke (IS).Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 71 patients with MCI after IS in the hospital between January 2020 and September 2022. According to different treatment methods, they were divided into Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture group ( n=31, Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture + oral nimodipine tables) and routine body-acupuncture group ( n=40, routine body-acupuncture group + oral nimodipine tables). Both groups were treated for 2 courses (14 d/course). Before and after treatment, levels of serum NO and endothelin-1 (ET-1) were detected by radioimmunoassay, and levels of serum basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), plasma homocysteine (Hcy) and IL-6 were detected by ELISA. The cognitive function of patients was evaluated and intelligence level by Montreal Cognitive Assessment Scale (MoCA), Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE) and the clinical curative effect was also evaluated. Results:The total response rates in Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture group and routine body-acupuncture group were 90.32% (28/31) and 70.00% (28/40), and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ2=4.33, P=0.037). After treatment, levels of plasma Hcy and IL-6 in Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture group were lower than those in the routine body-acupuncture group ( t=2.57, 9.36, P<0.05 or P<0.01). After treatment, levels of serum bFGF, VEGF and NO in Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture group were significantly higher than those in the routine body-acupuncture group ( t=10.03, 9.29, 8.17, P<0.01), while ET-1 level was significantly lower than that of the routine body-acupuncture group ( t=2.41, P=0.019). After treatment, MoCA score [(28.24±4.45) vs. (25.32±4.34), t=2.78], MMSE score [(28.73±1.44) vs. (28.02±1.22), t=2.25] in Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture group were higher than those in the routine body-acupuncture group ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Tongdu Tiaoshen acupuncture is beneficial to improve vascular endothelial function, reduce levels of inflammatory factors, promote the recovery of cognitive function and improve curative effect in patients with MCI after IS.

RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of individualised microvascular decompression (MVD) for trigeminal neuralgia (TN), so as to provide individualised treatment strategies and new thoughts for treatment.Methods:Clinical data of 46 patients who had TN and treated in the Department of Neurosurgery at the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2021 to September 2023 were retrospectively studied. The study consisted of 19 males and 27 females, with an average age of morbidity at (58.3 ± 9.0) years old. Preoperative pain ratings and surgical outcomes were evaluated using the Barrow Neurological Institute (BNI) pain rating scale, and of which 27 patients were rated at BNI grade IV and 19 at grade V before surgery. A posterior trans-sigmoid sinus approach was applied in surgery on all patients, which could be performed in various ways depending on the vascular conditions identified during surgery. Ten patients were treated with microsurgery, 12 with endoscopic surgery and 24 with combined endoscopic surgery and microsurgery. After having identified the responsible vessel(s), a vascular decompression for the affected trigeminal nerve was performed and the nerve decompression was achieved by a polyester pad. Long-term postoperative follow-ups were conducted via telephone interviews or outpatient visits.Results:A total of 46 patients received the microvascular decompression surgery. Among them, 43 cases (93.5%) achieved immediate and complete pain relief of BNI grade I after surgery, and 3 cases (6.5%) achieved partial pain relief of BNI grade Ⅱ. Four patients developed facial numbness and sensory reduction, 2 developed facial paralysis (of House-Brackmann grade Ⅱ of 1 patient and grade Ⅲ of the other), 8 developed pneumocephalus, 4 developed postoperative fever, and 2 developed subcutaneous effusion. After treatment, the pneumocephalus and fever were cured, subcutaneous effusion was disappeared in 1 patient, but remained in the other. The mean follow-up period for the 46 patients was 16.2 (1-33) months. During the follow-up, 2 of the 3 patients of BNI grade Ⅱ immediately after surgery had complete remission to BNI grade Ⅰ and the other had recurrence and aggravation at BNI grade Ⅳ.Conclusion:The complexity of the responsible vessels is one of the important factors to be considered in the microvascular decompression strategy for trigeminal neuralgia. An individualised surgical plan according to a specific vascular condition identified in the surgery, is a best possible or worthiness surgical strategy in the treatment for a TN.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo explore the interaction among root fungi of Stellaria dichotoma var. lanceolata, soil factors, and main components of medicinal materials in lithosol habitats. MethodHigh-throughput sequencing technology was employed to determine the fungal community of the root system of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata at different levels (bulk soil, rhizosphere soil, rhizoplane soil, and root interior) and the soil properties of the root system (bulk and rhizosphere), and the relationship among the fungal community, soil properties, and the main components of medicinal materials was analyzed. ResultThe total phosphorus, available phosphorus, alkaline nitrogen, dissolved organic carbon, and soil water content in the rhizosphere soil of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata were slightly higher than those in the rhizosphere, but the difference was not significant. Ascomycota is the dominant phylum of root fungi in S. dichotoma var. lanceolata. In the progressive level of bulk-rhizosphere-rhizoplane-root interior system, although the fungal diversity gradually decreased, the abundance of Hypocreales, a new phylum (unclassified_ k_ Fungi), Helotiales, and Natipusilales gradually increased, among which Hypocreales is the most important fungal group in the root system of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata. The structural equation model (SEM) shows that the physicochemical factors of the root-soil play an important regulatory role in the fungal community and the main components of medicinal herbs, with soil total nitrogen, alkaline nitrogen, soil water content, and pH being the main regulatory factors. Soil nitrogen content is the key to promoting the main components of the medicinal herbs, and Penicillium fungi are the key fungal group to regulate the main components of the medicinal herbs. ConclusionIt highlights that the physicochemical properties of the soil of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata play a crucial role in the fungal community and the components of medicinal materials. Hypocreales fungi in the root of S. dichotoma var. lanceolata were an important group, and Penicillium fungi had a certain role in mediating the components of medicinal materials.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of a foldable pedicled latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap to repair soft tissue defects in the shoulder and back.@*METHODS@#Between August 2018 and January 2023, the foldable pedicled latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flaps were used to repair soft tissue defects in the shoulder and back of 8 patients. There were 5 males and 3 females with the age ranged from 21 to 56 years (mean, 35.4 years). Wounds were located in the shoulder in 2 cases and in the shoulder and back in 6 cases. The causes of injury were chronic infection of skin and bone exposure in 2 cases, secondary wound after extensive resection of skin and soft tissue tumor in 4 cases, and wound formation caused by traffic accident in 2 cases. Skin defect areas ranged from 14 cm×13 cm to 20 cm×16 cm. The disease duration ranged from 12 days to 1 year (median, 6.6 months). A pedicled latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap was designed and harvested. The flap was divided into A/B flap and then were folded to repair the wound, with the donor area of the flap being pulled and sutured in one stage.@*RESULTS@#All 7 flaps survived, with primary wound healing. One patient suffered from distal flap necrosis and delayed healing was achieved after dressing change. The incisions of all donor sites healed by first intention. All patients were followed up 6 months to 4 years (mean, 24.7 months). The skin flap has a good appearance with no swelling in the pedicle. At last follow-up, 6 patients had no significant difference in bilateral shoulder joint motion, and 2 patients had a slight decrease in abduction range of motion compared with the healthy side. The patients' daily life were not affected, and linear scar was left in the donor site.@*CONCLUSION@#The foldable pedicled latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap is an ideal method to repair the soft tissue defect of shoulder and back with simple operation, less damage to the donor site, and quick recovery after operation.

OBJECTIVES@#To investigate the clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis of children with perianal fistulizing Crohn's disease (pfCD).@*METHODS@#A retrospective analysis was conducted on the children, aged 6-17 years, who were diagnosed with Crohn's disease (CD) from April 2015 to April 2023. According to the presence or absence of perianal fistulizing lesions, they were divided into two groups: pfCD (n=60) and non-pfCD (n=82). The two groups were compared in terms of clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis.@*RESULTS@#The incidence of pfCD was 42.3% (60/142). The proportion of males in the pfCD group was higher than that in the non-pfCD group. Compared with the non-pfCD group, the pfCD group had a significantly higher proportion of children with involvement of the colon and small intestine or those with upper gastrointestinal lesions (P<0.05). Compared with the non-pfCD group, the pfCD group had a significantly higher rate of use of infliximab during both induction and maintenance treatment (P<0.05). In the pfCD group, the children with complex anal fistula accounted for 62% (37/60), among whom the children receiving non-cutting suspended line drainage accounted for 62% (23/37), which was significantly higher than the proportion among the children with simple anal fistula patients (4%, 1/23) (P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in mucosal healing rate and clinical remission rate at week 54 of treatment (P>0.05). The pfCD group achieved a fistula healing rate of 57% (34/60) at week 54, and the children with simple anal fistula had a significantly higher rate than those with complex anal fistula (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#There is a high incidence rate of pfCD in children with CD, and among the children with pfCD, there is a high proportion of children with the use of biological agents. There is a high proportion of children receiving non-cutting suspended line drainage among the children with complex anal fistula. The occurrence of pfCD should be closely monitored during the follow-up in children with CD.

RESUMEN
Anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis is an autoimmune encephalitis mediated by anti-NMDAR antibody. Current studies have found that most patients with anti-NMDAR encephalitis have a good prognosis after immunotherapy and tumor therapy, but there are still 4.5%-36.4% patients with relapse. It is important to identify the risk factors for the prevention of relapse. This article aims to review the relapse risk factors of NMDAR encephalitis in order to provide help for the prevention of relapse.
RESUMEN
Objective:To analyze the relationship between serum antibody titers, clinical characteristics, and prognosis in patients with encephalitis induced by anti leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) antibody.Methods:Clinical data of 20 patients diagnosed with encephalitis in the Department of Neurology, First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from February 2015 to February 2021 were collected and retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on their serum anti LGI1 antibody titers, namely the high titer group (1∶100, 1∶320) and the low titer group (1∶10, 1∶32). The clinical characteristics, laboratory test results, and prognosis of the 2 groups of patients were compared. Relusts The age of the 20 patients with anti LGI1 antibody encephalitis ranged from 27 to 69 (53.5±11.2) years, with a male to female ratio of 1∶1. There were 9 patients in the low titer group and 11 patients in the high titer group. There was no statistically significant difference in the types and quantities of clinical symptoms between the 2 groups. Patients in the high titer group were more prone to abnormal lesions on cranial magnetic resonance imaging (10/11 vs 3/9, P=0.014). There was no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups in the presence or absence of cerebrospinal fluid anti LGI1 antibodies (9/11 vs 4/9, P=0.160). During the follow-up, it was found that 1/20 patient died of pulmonary embolism, 7/20 of patients were able to recover to their predisease state, and 9/20 of patients had residual memory impairment. In the high titer group, 3/11 of patients experienced recurrence, while there was no recurrence in the low titer group. There was no statistically significant difference in the neurological prognosis between the 2 groups at 3 months of discharge and follow-up (the number of patients whose modified Rankin Scale score≤2: 10/10 vs 8/9, P=0.474). Conclusions:Patients with high serum anti LGI1 antibody titers are more likely to develop intracerebral lesions. Higher antibody titers may be associated with a higher risk of disease recurrence. There was no significant correlation between serum antibody titers and neurological outcomes.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the effect of facial filling with autologous fat particles on the facial contour remodeling of patients with facial rejuvenation needs and its influence on the facial skin indicators of patients.Methods:From February 2019 to February 2020, 225 female patients, aged 25-52 years, with an average age of (42.5±5.2) years, received facial rejuvenation treatment in Zhengzhou Mylai Medical Beauty Hospital. They were divided into observation group (PPDO serrated line lifting combined with autologous fat granule filling), control group 1 (PPDO serrated line lifting alone) and control group 2 (simple autologous fat granule filling alone), with 75 cases in each group. After 6 months of follow-up, facial skin indexes, contour remodeling effect and adverse reactions after treatment were compared among the three groups.Results:At the last follow-up, the facial skin elasticity and moisture scores of the observation group (63.45±10.11, 56.71±9.38) were significantly higher than those of control group 1 (51.11±9.23, 43.69±7.65) and control group 2 (52.35±9.51, 42.47±7.53). The facial spots and lipid scores (41.31±7.24, 42.18±7.46) were significantly lower than those in control group 1 (48.67±9.15, 53.49±9.45) and control group 2 (48.26±9.21, 53.55±9.53) ( F=37.39, 68.98, 17.42, 40.91, P<0.001). At the last follow-up, the lower surface width of observation group (11.35±0.63) was lower than that of control group 1 (12.21±0.85) and control group 2 (12.38±0.65). The contour ratio of the lower part of the face (0.63±0.17) was higher than that of control group 1 (0.56±0.15) and control group 2 (0.57±0.15) ( F=44.49, 4.36, P<0.05). The change level of the ratio of lower facial area (0.12±0.03) was higher than that of control group 1 (0.07±0.02) and control group 2 (0.08±0.04) ( F=54.31, P<0.001). Conclusions:For patients who need facial rejuvenation treatment, the use of autologous fat granule facial filling therapy has good clinical effects, which can significantly improve the patient's facial skin elasticity, moisture, spots, and oil. The patient's facial contour reshaping effect is better, and the aesthetic score is significantly improved, and does not increase the risk of adverse reactions.
RESUMEN
The implantable collamer lens(ICL)is a widely popular option for the correction of refractive errors. ICL implantation brings a whole new dimension to the vision, from the anterior chamber phakic ICL to the posterior and central hole ICL. Even though there are fewer reported complications, ICL size selection remains challenging due to the differences in device measurements and ICL sizing formulas. With the widening comprehensiveness of ICL implantation and the ongoing development of ophthalmic devices and technologies, particularly the advent of artificial intelligence, more and more indicators such as sulcus-to-sulcus(STS), crystalline lens rise(CLR), angle-to-angle(ATA), the iris pigment end to the iris pigment end(PTP), anterior chamber width(ACW), and anterior chamber angle(ACA)are providing references in the selection of ICL size, this article provides a review of ICL size selection.
RESUMEN
In this study, a combination of metabolomics and network pharmacology was used to study the pharmacodynamic substances and mechanism of action of Yiyi Fuzi powder (YYFZ) on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) rats. The animal experiments were conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine (approval number: TCM-LAEC2021241). The metabolomic analysis using UPLC-Q-TOF/MS technique identified 22 metabolites, including arachidonic acid, tryptophan, linoleic acid, phenylalanine, as significant biomarkers for the treatment of RA with YYFZ, and they were significantly regressed after YYFZ treatment. The analysis of YYFZ blood components also revealed that 11 blood components, including hypaconitine, benzoylhypaconitine, and deoxyaconitine, may be the components that exert direct pharmacological effects in YYFZ in vivo, and further network pharmacological analysis of blood components obtained that YYFZ may exhibit anti-inflammatory effects through acting on PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, estrogen signaling pathway, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway. The results of this study provide implications for the clinical application of YYFZ.
RESUMEN
ObjectiveTo understand the internet media information of COVID-19 in Shanghai in 2022, to provide evidence for health administration departments to respond to public health emergencies, and to establish a comprehensive public health media surveillance system. MethodsData on internet media information and the local COVID-19 epidemic data in Shanghai from January 1 to June 30, 2022 were collected and analyzed. ResultsA total of 90.197 3 million pieces of internet media information were monitored. The top four sources of the information were Weibo (36.84%), short videos (26.19%), internet media (14.47%), and forums (13.31%). The variation trend of daily internet media surveillance information was identified with the number of newly reported cases per day, and a correlation was found (r=0.770. After the seven-day moving average,r=0.796). Frequent keywords included Shanghai, cheer up, nucleic acid, new cases, local, asymptomatic, prevention and control, gratitude, isolation, epidemic prevention, supplies, pandemic response, patient, seeking help, and clearing the cases. Within the information on Weibo, in addition to netizens in Shanghai (7 823 100) who were highly concerned about the pandemic, netizens from Beijing (2 749 100), Guangdong Province (2 352 300), Jiangsu Province (2 189 100) and Zhejiang Province(1 532 100) also posted a relatively high amount of information related to COVID-19 in Shanghai. ConclusionThe outbreak of major infectious diseases triggers significant online activity, and platforms such as Weibo and short video platforms play crucial roles in disseminating internet media information. Weibo, short videos etc. are important platforms for current internet media information. Strengthening media information monitoring and analysis, paying close attention to hot events, taking timely response measures and actively engaging in risk communication contribute to the response and management of public health emergencies.
