RESUMEN
Objective:To observe the effects of warm acupuncture on post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) based on the theory of intestinal flora.Methods:A randomized controlled trial was conducted. 60 patients with PSCI in the Department of Acupuncture and Neurology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from October 2020 to June 2022 were selected as the observation objects, and were divided into 2 groups by random number table, with 30 cases in each group. On the basis of cognitive rehabilitation training, the treatment group was given warm acupuncture treatment, and the control group was given routine acupuncture treatment. 2 groups were treated for 4 weeks as 1 course, and a total of 4 courses were treated. Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) was used to assess patients' cognitive function before and after treatment, and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) was used to assess patients' intelligence level. The numbers of bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria in fecal samples were calculated, and plasma gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) levels were detected by ELISA to evaluate the clinical efficacy.Results:During the study, 1 case was lost in each of the two groups, and finally 29 cases were included in the curative effect statistics. The total effective rate was 79.3% (23/29) in the treatment group and 65.5% (19/29) in the control group, with statistical significance ( χ2=43.39， P<0.05). After treatment, MoCA score [(24.23±1.36) vs. (21.26±1.30), t=3.12] and MMSE score [(25.35±1.24) vs. (21.52±1.22), t=3.25] in the treatment group were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05); Bifidobacterium [(9.20±1.25) LgCFU/g vs. (7.23±1.21) LgCFU/g, t=2.98], Lactic acid bacteria [(8.24±1.12) LgCFU/g vs. (6.25±1.22) LgCFU/g, t=2.92], and the level of GABA [(283.80±83.54) mmol/L vs. (264.76±61.38) mmol/L, t=10.54] were higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion:Warm acupuncture and moxibustion can effectively regulate the number of intestinal beneficial bacteria in PSCI patients, increase the level of GABA, promote brain tissue repair and improve cognitive function.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND@#Craniomaxillofacial tissue defects are clinical defects involving craniomaxillofacial and oral soft and hard tissues.They are characterized by defect-shaped irregularities, bacterial and inflammatory environments, and the need for functional recovery.Conventional clinical treatments are currently unable to achieve regeneration of high-quality oral craniomaxillofacial tissue. As a natural biomaterial, silk fibroin (SF) has been widely studied in biomedicine and has broad prospects for use in tissue regeneration.Hydrogels made of SF showed excellent water retention, biocompatibility, safety and the ability to combine with other materials. @*METHODS@#To gain an in-depth understanding of the current development of SF, this article reviews the structure, preparation and application prospects in oral and craniomaxillofacial tissue regenerative medicine. It first briefly introduces the structure of SF and then summarizes the principles, advantages and disadvantages of the different cross-linking methods (physical cross-linking, chemical cross-linking and double network structure) of SF. Finally, the existing research on the use of SF in tissue engineering and the prospects of using SF with different cross-linking methods in oral and craniomaxillofacial tissue regeneration are also discussed. @*CONCLUSIONS@#This review is intended to show the advantages of SF hydrogels in tissue engineering and provides theoretical support for establishing novel and viable silk protein hydrogels for regeneration.

RESUMEN
Objective:To observe the effects of 0.01% atropine eye drops on ocular biometrics in myopic adolescents.Methods:A prospective cohort study was conducted.Two hundred and nineteen myopic adolescents who visited the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from June 2016 to June 2017 and completed the 1-year follow-up on time were enrolled.The 219 adolescents were divided into a 0.01% atropine+ single-vision spectacles (SV) group (119 cases) wearing single-vision spectacles with one drop of atropine eye drop applied to both eyes once nightly, and a simple SV group (100 cases) wearing SV only.Axial length (AL), corneal power and anterior chamber depth were measured with the IOLMaster.Lens power was calculated using the Bennett-Rabbetts formula.Intraocular pressure was measured by non-contact tonometry.Spherical equivalent (SE) was examined by cycloplegic autorefraction.Total astigmatism and corneal astigmatism were calculated by vector decomposition.The right eye data were analyzed to compare the ocular biometrics changes between the two groups, and multiple linear regression analysis was used to evaluate the influencing factors.This study adhered to the Declaration of Helsinki.The study protocol was approved by the Ethics Committee of First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (No.2016-35). Written informed consent was obtained from guardians before any medical examination.Results:The SE change and AL elongation 12 months after treatment in 0.01% atropine+ SV group were (-0.47±0.45) D and (0.37±0.22) mm, respectively, which were significantly lower than (-0.70±0.60)D and (0.46±0.35)mm in simple SV group ( t=5.523, 9.651; both at P<0.001). There were significant differences in SE and AL between before and after treatment in both groups (SE: Fgroup=1.556, P=0.015; Ftime=12.538, P=0.002; AL: Fgroup=3.425, P=0.021; Ftime=18.235, P=0.008). The SE and AL at 4, 8 and 12 months after treatment were all increased in comparison with before treatment in both groups, showing statistically significant differences (all at P<0.001). The SE and AL at 8 and 12 months after treatment in 0.01% atropine+ SV group were smaller than in simple SV group, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.001). At 8 and 12 months after treatment, total astigmatism and the anterior chamber depth were increased and the lens power was decreased in comparison with before treatment in both groups, and the differences were statistically significant (all at P<0.05). There was no significant difference in corneal astigmatism, corneal power and intraocular pressure at different time points before and after treatment between the two groups (all at P>0.05). In the multiple linear regression analysis, an equation of Δmyopic SE=-0.012-2.685×ΔAL-1.002×Δcorneal astigmatism-0.656×Δlens power+ 0.477×Δtotal astigmatism+ 0.363×Δanterior chamber depth-0.060×age+ 0.011×sex was used, showing the change of SE was mainly caused by the change of AL ( β=-2.685), then corneal power, lens power, total astigmatism and anterior chamber depth. Conclusions:In adolescents, 0.01% atropine eye drops can effectively retard myopia progression and axial elongation, showing no effect on astigmatism, corneal power, lens power, anterior chamber depth and intraocular pressure.The controlling effect of 0.01% atropine eye drops in the development of myopia is mainly achieved by reducing axial elongation.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the changes of Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) level in peripheral blood of endometriosis (EMT) patients with infertility and its relationship with clinicopathological types and pregnancy outcomes.Methods:A total of 150 patients with EMT complicated with infertility (study group) admitted to Huangzhou District People′s Hospital of Huanggang City from May 2019 to March 2021 and 50 healthy married women (control group) who participated in physical examination during the same period were selected as the research objects. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to determine the level of TLR4 in peripheral blood of the two groups, and different pathological types of EMT were compared. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the predictive efficacy of TLR4 expression for postoperative pregnancy in EMT patients with infertility. At the same time, the relationship between changes in TLR4 level in peripheral blood and pregnancy outcomes was analyzed according to the TLR4 cut-off value.Results:The expression of TLR4 mRNA in peripheral blood in the study group was higher than that in the control group: 98.65 ± 10.63 vs. 1.27 ± 0.20, there was statistical difference ( t = 64.66, P<0.01). After treatment, the expression of TLR4 mRNA in peripheral blood of patients with simple peritoneal type, internal cystic type and adenomyosis type EMT complicated were decreased :81.13 ± 8.89 vs. 64.31 ± 6.44, 103.58 ± 10.01 vs. 85.40 ± 8.78, 118.69 ± 12.76 vs. 96.38 ± 9.96, There were statistical differences ( P<0.05); No matter before or after treatment, the expression of TLR4 mRNA in peripheral blood of patients with adenomyosis was higher than that of patients with internal cystic type and simple peritoneal type, while the expression of TLR4 mRNA in peripheral blood of patients with internal cystic type was higher than that of simple peritoneal type, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that when the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.787(95% CI 0.701 - 0.863, P<0.05) and the best cut-off value was 41.75, the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of TLR4 mRNA expression in peripheral blood to predict postoperative pregnancy in EMT patients with infertility were 80.12%, 81.57% and 80.30%, respectively. Using the peripheral blood TLR4 mRNA expression of 41.75 as the cut-off value, 143 patients with EMT and infertility with complete follow-up data were divided into high expression group (58 cases, TLR4 mRNA≥41.75) and low expression group (85 cases, TLR4 mRNA < 41.75). The postoperative intrauterine pregnancy rate and total pregnancy rate in the high expression group were lower than those in the low expression group: 44.83% (26/58) vs. 70.59% (60/85), 58.62% (34/58) vs. 81.18% (69/85), and there were statistical differences ( χ2 = 9.54, 8.71, P<0.05). Conclusions:There is abnormal expression of TLR4 in peripheral blood of EMT patients with infertility, and its high expression is closely related to adverse clinicopathological features and pregnancy outcomes. Effective intervention of treatment and postoperative recovery according to the expression level of TLR4 mRNA can further improve the natural pregnancy rate of such patients.
RESUMEN
Chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） is a common and intractable disease in the digestive system characterized by the reduction or disappearance of gastric mucosal glands. The intestinal metaplasia or dysplasia in CAG is called precancerous lesion， which greatly increases the risk of cancerization. Dysactivation of nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 （NLRP3） inflammatory corpuscles can release a large number of inflammatory factors， induce inflammatory cascade reactions， and participate in the process of many diseases. As reported， the dysactivation of NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles can cause long-term chronic inflammatory infiltration of gastric mucosa and induce the development of CAG. Mitochondrial dysfunction plays an important role in the activation of NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles. The accumulation of reactive oxygen species （ROS） produced by mitochondrial dysfunction is the key to activating NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles. Professor LIU Youzhang put forward the theory of "spleen-mitochondrion correlation"， which holds that the spleen mainly transports water and grains， generates qi and blood， transports nutrients to the whole body， and supplies energy and materials needed by the body. Adenosine triphosphate （ATP） generated by mitochondria through the circulation of tricarboxylic acid is the main energy source of the human body. The view that both of them serve as human energy processing plants coincides in terms of physiology. Pathologically， spleen deficiency is associated with mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation dysfunction. Pathological products such as dampness， turbidity， phlegm， and blood stasis due to failure in transportation because of spleen deficiency are consistent with metabolites generated by mitochondrial dysfunction. Based on the theory of "spleen-mitochondrion correlation"， this study discussed the pathogenesis of CAG in traditional Chinese medicine （TCM）， analyzed the relationship between NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles and the pathogenesis of CAG， and proposed that the activation of NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles by mitochondrial dysfunction was the modern biological basis of the pathogenesis of spleen deficiency in CAG. The spleen-strengthening method may be related to improving the mitochondrial function and inflammatory response of patients with CAG and alleviating the damage of gastric mucosa， providing a new idea for TCM in the prevention and treatment of CAG.
