Objective:To investigate the level of serum lipoprotein a [Lp (a)] in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and its clinical significance.Methods:A retrospective cohort study was performed. The clinical data of 87 patients with DLBCL who were treated at Changshu No.2 People's Hospital from January 2017 to June 2022 (the newly treated DLBCL group) were retrospectively analyzed, and 78 healthy physical examination subjects were selected as the control group. The level of Lp(a) in the two groups and the level of Lp(a) in DLBCL patients achieving different therapeutic effects after treatment were compared. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the efficacy of serum Lp(a) in predicting the therapeutic effect of DLBCL patients, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated to determine the optimal critical value. Based on the optimal critical value, patients with DLBCL were divided into low Lp(a) group and high Lp(a) group, and the clinicopathological characteristics of DLBCL patients with different Lp(a) levels were compared. Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the factors affecting the prognosis of DLBCL patients. Kaplan-Meier method was used to compare the relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) of DLBCL patients with different Lp(a) levels.Results:The level of Lp (a) in the newly treated DLBCL group was higher than that in the control group[ (0.24±0.09) g/L vs. (0.09±0.06) g/L], and the difference was statistically significant ( t = 3.61, P = 0.019). Among 87 patients, 54 achieved complete remission (CR), 23 achieved partial remission (PR), and 10 achieved progression of the disease (PD). The Lp (a) levels of patients achieving CR, PR, and PD were (0.09±0.09) g/L, (0.12±0.08) g/L, and (0.25±0.15) g/L, respectively. The Lp (a) levels in patients achieving CR and PR were lower than those in the newly treated DLBCL patients [(0.24±0.09) g/L], and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the Lp (a) levels between patients achieving PD and the newly treated DLBCL patients ( P > 0.05). The ROC curve results showed that the optimal critical value of serum Lp (a) in predicting the efficacy of DLBCL patients was 0.25 g/L, AUC was 0.776 (95% CI: 0.676-0.876, P < 0.05), and its sensitivity and specificity was 66.67%, 82.76%, respectively. According to the optimal critical value of Lp (a) (0.25 g/L), patients were divided into the low Lp (a) group (≤ 0.25 g/L) (57 cases) and the high Lp (a) group (>0.25 g/L) (30 cases). The proportion of patients with lactate dehydrogenase level >227 U/L, Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, and extranodal organ involvement >1 in the high Lp (a) group was higher than that in the low Lp (a) group, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Cox multivariate analysis results showed that Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, international prognostic index (IPI) score 3-5, and Lp (a)>0.25 g/L were independent risk factors for OS in DLBCL patients (all P < 0.05); Ann Arbor stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ and IPI score 3-5 were independent risk factors for RFS in DLBCL patients (all P < 0.05). The median OS in the low Lp (a) group was not reached; the median OS of the high Lp (a) group was 21 months, and there was a statistically significant difference in OS between the two groups ( P = 0.001). The median RFS time was not reached in the low Lp (a) group and the high Lp (a) group; and there was no statistically significant difference in RFS between the two groups ( P = 0.102) . Conclusions:Lp(a) level of DLBCL patients is increased, and Lp(a) could be a factor influencing the prognosis of DLBCL.

Objective:To explore the application value of renal artery resistance index in the diagnosist of intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) in critically ill patients.Methods:89 patients with risk factors of IAH in the intensive care unit of Zhangzhou Hospital Affiliated to Fujian Medical University from February 2022 to June 2022 were retrospective analyzed. The intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) were measured by bladder, and patients divided into IAH group (IAP≥12 mmHg) and non-IAH group (IAP <12 mmHg). The resistance index (RI) of the right renal aorta, segment artery and interlobar artery were measured by color Doppler ultrasound. The difference between the measurement indicators of patients in the IAH and non-IAH groups and the correlation with IAP were analyzed. As for different indicators to predict the diagnostic efficacy of IAH, ROC curve analysis was used to evaluate the effect. And further multivariate logistic regression analysis was to find independent risk predictor.Results:A total of 89 patients were included in the study, including 44 patients with normal IAP and 45 patients diagnosed IAH. There were significant differences in the right renal aorta, segmental artery and interlobar artery RI (all P<0.01). The interlobar artery RI≥0.698 was the highest diagnostic cut-off,area under the curve was 0.914, sensitivity was 82.2%, specificity was 97.7%, and Jordon index was 0.799. The Spearman correlation analysis of IAP and the ultrasonographic measurements revealed a strong correlation between right renal interlobar artery RI and IAP ( r=0.741, P<0.01). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the right renal interlobar artery RI ( OR= 24.472, 95% CI:5.122~116.919, P<0.01) was an independent risk predictor of IAH ( P<0.01). Conclusion:Right renal interlobar artery RI had better diagnostic efficacy of IAH,renal ultrasound could be used as an alternative, non-invasive technique for the diagnosis and follow-up of IAH.

Objective:To establish a sensing technology of catalytic hairpin self-assembly (CHA) combining with clustered interspaced short palindromic repeats with associated protein 12a (CRISPR-Cas12a) for the detection of exosomal microRNA-21 (miR-21), and to analyze the performance.Methods:Eight patients diagnosed as breast cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of the Army Military Medical University from September to October 2023 were selected as the breast cancer group; 8 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations during the same period were selected as the healthy control group. Plasma exosomes and their miR-21 were extracted using the kit. DNA hairpins and CRISPR RNA sequences were designed for miR-21 sequences. The feasibility of detection technology was validated using polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and fluorescence spectrophotometer. Hairpins concentration, CHA reaction time, Cas12a protein concentration and Cas12a protein reaction time were further optimized. On this basis, miR-21 was detected at different concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 nmol/L), and fluorescence intensity was collected for unary linear regression analysis to evaluate methodological sensitivity; meanwhile, different types of miRNAs (miR-31, miR-26a, miR-192, miR-25-3p) and blank controls were detected to evaluate methodological specificity. A case-control study was conducted to detect the relative expression level of plasma exosomal miR-21 in breast cancer group and healthy control group using this detection technology and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) to evaluate the detection ability of clinical samples.Results:A detection method for exosomal miR-21 was established using CHA combining with CRISPR-Cas12a. The concentration of miR-21 detected by this method showed a good linear relationship with fluorescence intensity (the linear correlation coefficient 0.966 7), and the linear detection range was 0.1-10.0 nmol/L, and the detection limit was 87.81 pmol/L. The fluorescence intensity of miR-21 was 450.27±23.96 which was higher than that of miR-31, miR-26a, miR-192, miR-25-3p, and the blank group (98.89±7.35, 98.12±2.07, 98.93±2.45, 96.66±2.45, 82.93±3.54, respectively), with statistical significance ( P<0.001). The results of RT-PCR showed that the relative expression levels of plasma exosomal miR-21 in the breast cancer group were higher than that in healthy control group (1.83±0.27 vs 0.93±0.12, P<0.001); CHA combining with CRISPR-Cas12a detection technology showed that the relative expression levels of plasma exosomal miR-21 in breast cancer group were higher than that in healthy control group (1.94±0.21 vs 0.98±0.08, P<0.001); There was no significant difference in the relative expression levels of plasma exosomal miR-21 between CHA combining with CRISPR-Cas12a detection technology and reverse transcription PCR in breast cancer group and healthy control group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In this study, a highly sensitive and specific sensing technology of CHA combining with CRISPR-Cas12a for exosomal miR-21 was established. The results of detecting plasma exosomal miR-21 were consistent with the results of reverse transcription PCR, which can be used for screening of breast cancer patients.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive rhinoplasty with autogenous costal cartilage grafting and prosthesis augmentation rhinoplasty in the treatment of secondary nasal deformity with saddle nasal deformity after cleft lip surgery.@*METHODS@#The clinical data of 96 patients with secondary nasal deformity with saddle nasal deformity after cleft lip surgery between September 2008 and January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 17 males and 79 females with an average age of 25.6 years (range, 17-38 years). Autogenous costal cartilage grafts were used to construct stable nasal tip framework and enhance the strength of alar cartilage. Nasal dorsum prostheses (39 cases of bulge, 45 cases of silicone prosthesis) or autogenous costal cartilage (12 cases) were used for comprehensive rhinoplasty. Visual analogue scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate the postoperative satisfaction subjectively, and nasal alar height symmetry index, nasal alar width symmetry index, nasal dorsum central axis deviation angle, and nasal columella deviation angle were calculated to evaluate objectively before and after operation.@*RESULTS@#All patients were followed up 6 months to 8 years, with an average of 13.4 months. Nasal septal hematoma occurred in 3 patients after operation, which was improved after local aspiration and nasal pressure packing. Two cases had mild deformation of the rib cartilage graft of the nasal dorsum, one of which had no obvious deviation of the nasal dorsum and was not given special treatment, and one case underwent the cartilage graft of the nasal dorsum removed and replaced with silicone prosthesis. The incisions of the other patients healed by first intention, and there was no complication such as postoperative infection and prosthesis displacement. The nasal alar height symmetry index, nasal alar width symmetry index, nasal dorsum central axis deviation angle, and nasal columella deviation angle significantly improved after operation when compared with preoperative ones ( P<0.05). Postoperative subjective satisfaction evaluation reached the level of basic satisfaction or above, and most of them were very satisfied.@*CONCLUSION@#Comprehensive rhinoplasty using autologous rib cartilage grafting to construct a stable nasal tip support, combined with dorsal nasal prosthesis or autologous cartilage implantation, can achieve good effectiveness on secondary nasal deformity with saddle nasal deformity after cleft lip surgery.

Objective@#To construct a prognostic model for unsuccessful removal of nasogastric tube (NGT) was the aim of our study. @*Methods@#This study examined patients with swallowing disorders receiving NGT feeding due to stroke or traumatic brain injury in a regional hospital. Clinical data was collected, such as age, sex, body mass index (BMI), level of activities of daily living (ADLs) dependence. Additionally, gather information regarding the enhancement in Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) levels and the increase in food types according to the International Dysphagia Diet Standardization Initiative (IDDSI) after one month of swallowing training. A stepwise logistic regression analysis model was employed to predict NGT removal failure using these parameters. @*Results@#Out of 203 patients, 53 patients (26.1%) had experienced a failed removal of NGT after six months of follow-up. The strongest predictors for failed removal were age over 60 years, underweight BMI, total dependence in ADLs, and ischemic stroke. The admission prediction model categorized patients into high, moderate, and low-risk groups for removal failure. The failure rate of NGT removal was high not only in the high-risk group but also in the moderate-risk groups when there was no improvement in FOIS levels and IDDSI food types. @*Conclusion@#Our predictive model categorizes patients with brain insults into risk groups for swallowing disorders, enabling advanced interventions such as percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy for high-risk patients struggling with NGT removal, while follow-up assessments using FOIS and IDDSI aid in guiding rehabilitation decisions for those at moderate risk.

Background@#and Purpose Migraine is a condition that is often observed to run in families, but its complex genetic background remains unclear. This study aimed to identify the genetic factors influencing migraines and their potential association with the family medical history. @*Methods@#We performed a comprehensive genome-wide association study of a cohort of 1,561 outpatients with migraine and 473 individuals without migraine in Taiwan, including Han Chinese individuals with or without a family history of migraine. By analyzing the detailed headache history of the patients and their relatives we aimed to isolate potential genetic markers associated with migraine while considering factors such as sex, episodic vs. chronic migraine, and the presence of aura. @*Results@#We revealed novel genetic risk loci, including rs2287637 in DEAD-Box helicase 1 and long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1804 and rs12055943 in engulfment and cell motility 1, that were correlated with the family history of migraine. We also found a genetic location downstream of mesoderm posterior BHLH transcription factor 2 associated with episodic migraine, whereas loci within the ubiquitin-specific peptidase 26 exonic region, dual specificity phosphatase 9 and pregnancy-upregulated non-ubiquitous CaM kinase intergenic regions, and poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase 1 and STUM were linked to chronic migraine. We additionally identified genetic regionsassociated with the presence or absence of aura. A locus between LINC02561 and urocortin 3 was predominantly observed in female patients. Moreover, three different single-nucleotide polymorphisms were associated with the family history of migraine in the control group. @*Conclusions@#This study has identified new genetic locations associated with migraine and its family history in a Han Chinese population, reinforcing the genetic background of migraine. The findings point to potential candidate genes that should be investigated further.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of lipoproteins on the progression of critically ill patients to chronic critical illness (CCI).Methods:A retrospective cohort study was conducted to analyze clinical data of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022. The levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and apolipoproteins (ApoA-Ⅰ, ApoB) at 1, 3, 7, 14 and 21 days after admission to ICU were collected. The progression to CCI was recorded. CCI was defined as the length of ICU stay ≥14 days with sustained organ dysfunction [sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score ≥2]. Differences in lipoprotein levels between the patients with and without CCI were compared. Multivariate Logistic regression was used to analyze risk factors for critically ill patients progressing to CCI. Receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve) was drawn to evaluate the predictive value of lipoproteins on critically ill patients progressing to CCI.Results:A total of 200 patients were enrolled in the final analysis. 137 patients (68.5%) progressed to CCI, and 63 patients (31.5%) did not. The lipoprotein indicators in the CCI group showed a decrease after the acute phase, while the lipoprotein indicators in the non-CCI group showed an increase. The levels of HDL, LDL, ApoA-Ⅰ, and ApoB at various time points in the CCI group were significantly lower than those in the non-CCI group. HDL at 7 days in the CCI group was significantly lower than that in the non-CCI group [mmol/L: 0.44 (0.31, 0.61) vs. 0.67 (0.49, 0.75), P < 0.01]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that 7-day HDL was an independent risk factor for critically ill patients progressing to CCI [odds ratio ( OR) = 0.033, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 0.004-0.282, P = 0.002]. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 7-day HDL for predicting critically ill patients progressing to CCI was 0.702, with a 95% CI of 0.625-0.779, P < 0.001. When the optimal cut-off value was 0.59 mmol/L, the sensitivity was 69.8%, and the specificity was 72.4%. Conclusions:The low level of lipoproteins is closely related to the progression of critically ill patients, and 7-day HDL has a certain predictive value for critically ill patients progressing to CCI. Continuously observation of the change trend of lipoprotein level is helpful to judge the progression of CCI in critically ill patients.

ObjectiveDirect continuous monitoring of arterial blood pressure is invasive and continuous monitoring cannot be achieved by traditional cuffed indirect blood pressure measurement methods. Previously, continuous non-invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring was achieved by using photoplethysmography (PPG), but it is discrete values of systolic and diastolic blood pressures rather than continuous values constructing arterial blood pressure waves. This study aimed to reconstruct arterial blood pressure wave signal based on CNN-LSTM using PPG to achieve continuous non-invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring. MethodsA CNN-LSTM hybrid neural network model was constructed, and the PPG and arterial blood pressure wave synchronized recorded signal data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC) were used. The PPG signals were input to this model after noise reduction, normalization, and sliding window segmentation. The corresponding arterial blood pressure waves were reconstructed from PPG by using the CNN-LSTM hybrid model. ResultsWhen using the CNN-LSTM neural network with a window length of 312, the error between the reconstructed arterial blood pressure values and the actual arterial blood pressure values was minimal: the values of mean absolute error (MAE) and root mean square error (RMSE) were 2.79 mmHg and 4.24 mmHg, respectively, and the cosine similarity is the optimal. The reconstructed arterial blood pressure values were highly correlated with the actual arterial blood pressure values, which met the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standards. ConclusionCNN-LSTM hybrid neural network can reconstruct arterial blood pressure wave signal using PPG to achieve continuous non-invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring.

Objective To investigate the relationship between combined plasma ferritin and triglyceride (TG) concentrations in early pregnancy and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods A total of 1 000 pregnant women who had antenatal care at the Sixth Hospital of Wuhan from January 2021 to January 2023 were selected as the research subjects. The cut-offs of ferritin and TG were analyzed by using unrestricted cube splines. All participants were divided into 4 groups according to the cut‐off values of ferritin and TG. Associations between combined ferritin and TG concentrations and GDM risk were estimated using multivariable logistic regression models. Results A total of 158 (15.8%) participants were diagnosed with GDM. The ferritin and TG levels in early pregnancy of pregnant women in the GDM group were significantly higher than those in the non-GDM group (P<0.05). After adjusting for potential confounders, the OR for the risk of developing GDM after combining ferritin with TG was 2.35 (1.65, 3.35). Couclusion The increase in plasma ferritin and TG concentrations in early pregnancy is positively correlated with the increased risk of GDM. Pregnant women with high plasma ferritin (˃65.7 ng/mL) and high TG (˃1.9mmoL/L) have the greatest risk of GDM.

Purpose: Understanding the association between social determinants of health (SDoHs) and microbial keratitis (MK) can inform underlying risk for patients and identify risk factors associated with worse disease, such as presenting visual acuity (VA) and time to initial presentation. Methods: This was a cross?sectional study was conducted with patients presenting with MK to the cornea clinic at a tertiary care hospital in Madurai, India. Patient demographics, SDoH survey responses, geographic pollution, and clinical features at presentation were collected. Descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, multi?variable linear regression models, and Poisson regression models were utilized. Results: There were 51 patients evaluated. The mean age was 51.2 years (SD = 13.3); 33.3% were female and 55% did not visit a vision center (VC) prior to presenting to the clinic. The median presenting logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) VA was 1.1 [Snellen 20/240, inter?quartile range (IQR) = 20/80 to 20/4000]. The median time to presentation was 7 days (IQR = 4.5 to 10). The average particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) concentration, a measure of air pollution, for the districts from which the patients traveled was 24.3 ?g/m3 (SD = 1.6). Age? and sex?adjusted linear regression and Poisson regression results showed that higher levels of PM2.5 were associated with 0.28 worse presenting logMAR VA (Snellen 2.8 lines, P = 0.002). Patients who did not visit a VC had a 100% longer time to presentation compared to those who did (incidence rate ratio = 2.0, 95% confidence interval = 1.3–3.0, P = 0.001). Conclusion: Patient SDoH and environmental exposures can impact MK presentation. Understanding SDoH is important for public health and policy implications to mitigate eye health disparities in India.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of body weight and waist circumference on static and dynamic balance function in overweight and obese adults. MethodsParticipants (n=103) were selected by cluster random sampling from the Hypoglycemic Weight Loss Clinic of the Endocrinology Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. All participants were assessed for basic data collection, biochemical test, body weight, waist circumference and height measurement, static balance function assessed by balance error scoring system (BESS) and dynamic balance function assessed by functional reach test (FRT). The BESS score and FRT distance of all participants were compared among groups according to different BMI grades and WC grades. Multivariate linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of participants' dynamic and static balance functions. Results① With the increase of BMI grading, the BESS score showed an upward trend, and the difference between groups was statistically significant (P = 0.004). The BESS score of normal WC patients was lower than that of central obesity patients (P < 0.001), which indicated that compared with normal BMI, overweight and obese people had poor dynamic and static balance ability; ② With the BMI grading, the FRT distance increased, showing a downward trend (P < 0.001). The FRT distance in normal WC patients was significantly higher than that in central obesity patients (P < 0.001), which indicated that the static and dynamic balance ability of central obesity patients was worse than that of normal WC patients; ③ In BMI overweight group, the FRT distance decreased significantly with the increase of WC (P = 0.02). The results showed that under the condition of no difference in BMI, Compared with normal WC, the dynamic and static balance ability of central obese patients was worse; ④ The influence of BESS score on BMI(B=4.12,P =0.027, 95% CI=0.48-7.75)and WC(B = 3.47,P = 0.046, 95% CI = 0.07 - 6.88)was significant. The influence of FRT distance on BMI(B = -5.68,P = 0.001, 95% CI = -8.95 - 2.41)and WC(B = -4.71,P = 0.003, 95% CI = -7.83 to -1.61)was significant, which indicated that the static and dynamic balance ability of obese people was worse with the increase of BMI, and the ability of dynamic and static balance of central obesity was worse than that of normal WC. ConclusionWaist circumference is an independent factor affecting the dynamic and static balance function of overweight and obese people. Under similar BMI, the dynamic balance function of central obese people is worse than that of people with normal waist circumference, leading to higher risk of falling.

BACKGROUND@#LY01005 (Goserelin acetate sustained-release microsphere injection) is a modified gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist injected monthly. This phase III trial study aimed to evaluated the efficacy and safety of LY01005 in Chinese patients with prostate cancer.@*METHODS@#We conducted a randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial across 49 sites in China. This study included 290 patients with prostate cancer who received either LY01005 or goserelin implants every 28 days for three injections. The primary efficacy endpoints were the percentage of patients with testosterone suppression ≤50 ng/dL at day 29 and the cumulative probability of testosterone ≤50 ng/dL from day 29 to 85. Non-inferiority was prespecified at a margin of -10%. Secondary endpoints included significant castration (≤20 ng/dL), testosterone surge within 72 h following repeated dosing, and changes in luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, and prostate specific antigen levels.@*RESULTS@#On day 29, in the LY01005 and goserelin implant groups, testosterone concentrations fell below medical-castration levels in 99.3% (142/143) and 100% (140/140) of patients, respectively, with a difference of -0.7% (95% confidence interval [CI], -3.9% to 2.0%) between the two groups. The cumulative probabilities of maintaining castration from days 29 to 85 were 99.3% and 97.8%, respectively, with a between-group difference of 1.5% (95% CI, -1.3% to 4.4%). Both results met the criterion for non-inferiority. Secondary endpoints were similar between groups. Both treatments were well-tolerated. LY01005 was associated with fewer injection-site reactions than the goserelin implant (0% vs . 1.4% [2/145]).@*CONCLUSION@#LY01005 is as effective as goserelin implants in reducing testosterone to castration levels, with a similar safety profile.@*TRIAL REGISTRATION@#ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT04563936.

OBJECTIVE@#To develop a few-shot learning (FSL) approach for classifying optical coherence tomography (OCT) images in patients with inherited retinal disorders (IRDs).@*METHODS@#In this study, an FSL model based on a student-teacher learning framework was designed to classify images. 2,317 images from 189 participants were included. Of these, 1,126 images revealed IRDs, 533 were normal samples, and 658 were control samples.@*RESULTS@#The FSL model achieved a total accuracy of 0.974-0.983, total sensitivity of 0.934-0.957, total specificity of 0.984-0.990, and total F1 score of 0.935-0.957, which were superior to the total accuracy of the baseline model of 0.943-0.954, total sensitivity of 0.866-0.886, total specificity of 0.962-0.971, and total F1 score of 0.859-0.885. The performance of most subclassifications also exhibited advantages. Moreover, the FSL model had a higher area under curves (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves in most subclassifications.@*CONCLUSION@#This study demonstrates the effective use of the FSL model for the classification of OCT images from patients with IRDs, normal, and control participants with a smaller volume of data. The general principle and similar network architectures can also be applied to other retinal diseases with a low prevalence.

OBJECTIVE@#To observe the effect of Shugan Tiaoshen acupuncture (acupuncture for soothing the liver and regulating the mentality) combined with western medication on depression and sleep quality in the patients with depression-insomnia comorbidity due to COVID-19 quarantine, and investigate the potential mechanism from the perspective of cortical excitability.@*METHODS@#Sixty patients with depression-insomnia comorbidity due to COVID-19 quarantine were randomly divided into an acupuncture group and a sham-acupuncture group, 30 cases in each one. The patients of both groups were treated with oral administration of sertraline hydrochloride tablets. In the acupuncture group, Shugan Tiaoshen acupuncture was supplemented. Body acupuncture was applied to Yintang (GV 24+), Baihui (GV 20), Hegu (LI 4), Zhaohai (KI 6), Qihai (CV 6), etc. The intradermal needling was used at Xin (CO15), Gan (CO12) and Shen (CO10). In the sham-acupuncture group, the sham-acupuncture was given at the same points as the acupuncture group. The compensatory treatment was provided at the end of follow-up for the patients in the sham-acupuncture group. In both groups, the treatment was given once every two days, 3 times a week, for consecutive 8 weeks. The self-rating depression scale (SDS) and insomnia severity index (ISI) scores were compared between the two groups before and after treatment and 1 month after the end of treatment (follow-up) separately. The cortical excitability indexes (resting motor threshold [rMT], motor evoked potential amplitude [MEP-A], cortical resting period [CSP]) and the level of serum 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) were measured before and after treatment in the two groups.@*RESULTS@#After treatment and in follow-up, SDS and ISI scores were decreased in both groups compared with those before treatment (P<0.05), and the scores in the acupuncture group were lower than those in the sham-acupuncture group (P<0.05), and the decrease range in the acupuncture group after treatment was larger than that in the sham-acupuncture group (P<0.05). After treatment, rMT was reduced (P<0.05), while MEP-A and CSP were increased (P<0.05) in the acupuncture group compared with that before treatment. The levels of serum 5-HT in both groups were increased compared with those before treatment (P<0.05). The rMT in the acupuncture group was lower than that in the sham-acupuncture group, while MEP-A and CSP, as well as the level of serum 5-HT were higher in the acupuncture group in comparison with the sham-acupuncture group (P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Shugan Tiaoshen acupuncture combined with western medication can relieve depression and improve sleep quality in the patients with depression-insomnia comorbidity due to COVID-19 quarantine, which is probably related to rectifying the imbalanced excitatory and inhibitory neuronal functions.

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the efficacy of a novel artificial perfusate based on oxygen-carrying perfluoronaphthalene-albumin nanoparticles in normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) for preservation of porcine liver donation after cardiac death.@*METHODS@#Artificial perfusate with perfluoronaphthalene-albumin nanoparticles was prepared at 5% albumin (w/v) and its oxygen carrying capacity was calculated. The livers of 16 Landrace pigs were isolated after 1 h of warm ischemia, and then they were divided into 4 groups and preserved continuously for 24 h with different preservation methods: cold preservation with UW solution (SCS group), NMP preservation by whole blood (blood NMP group), NMP preservation by artificial perfusate without nanoparticles (non-nanoparticles NMP group) and NMP preservation by artificial perfusate containing nanoparticles (nanoparticles NMP group). Hemodynamics, tissue metabolism, biochemical indices of perfusate and bile were monitored every 4 h after the beginning of NMP. Liver tissue samples were collected for histological examination (HE and TUNEL staining) before preservation, 12 h and 24 h after preservation.@*RESULTS@#The oxygen carrying capacity of nanoparticles in 100 mL artificial perfusate was 6.94 μL/mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa). The hepatic artery and portal vein resistance of nanoparticles NMP group and blood NMP group remained stable during perfusion, and the vascular resistance of nanoparticles NMP group was lower than that of blood NMP group. The concentration of lactic acid in the perfusate decreased to the normal range within 8 h in both nanoparticles NMP group and blood NMP group. There were no significant differences in accumulated bile production, alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase in perfusate between nanoparticles NMP group and blood NMP group (all P>0.05). After 24 h perfusion, the histological Suzuki score in blood NMP group and nanoparticles NMP group was lower than that in SCS group and non-nanoparticles NMP group (all P<0.05), and the quantities of TUNEL staining positive cells in blood NMP group and non-nanoparticles NMP group was higher than those in nanoparticles NMP group and SCS group 12 h and 24 h after preservation (all P<0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#Artificial perfusate based on oxygen-carrying nanoparticles can meet the oxygen supply requirements of porcine livers donation after cardiac death during NMP preservation, and it may has superiorities in improving tissue microcirculation and alleviating ischemia-reperfusion injury.
