Effect of electrical acupoint stimulation on EEG power spectral density during 24 h head down bed rest in human bodyAbstract:Objective To observe the changes of electroencephalogram(EEG)and the effect of electrical acupoint stimulation during 24 h simulated weightlessness in head down bed rest.Methods A total of 22 volunteers were randomly divided into electroacupuncture group and control group,with 11 people in each group.The control group rested in bed in a head-low position for 24 h,while the electroacupuncture group rested in bed in a head-low position for 24 h and then stimulated bilateral Neiguan acupoints for 30 min.The changes of power spectral density(PSD)of EEG signals in resting state and mood states were analyzed and compared between the two groups before and after bed rest.Results Compared with that before bed rest,the PSD of θ and α band generally decreased in all brain regions,the PSD of right temporal lobe θ band and the PSD of right central region,right parietal lobe,and left occipital lobe α band significantly reduced(P<0.05).The score of fatigue,depression,and anger,as well as the total score of negative mood disorder of Profile of Mood States(POMS)significantly increased(P<0.05),while the score of energy significantly decreased(P<0.05)after 24 h of head down bed rest.Compared with the control group,the PSD in the right frontal lobe θ band was significantly reduced in the electroacupuncture group(P<0.05),and the depression score of POMS showed a decreasing trend after bed rest.Conclusion The simulated weightlessness effect of 24 h head down bed rest alters the activities of θ and α band of certain brain regions at rest,and can be more likely to cause negative emotions.Electroacupuncture stimulation regulates the activity of the right frontal lobe θ bands and potentially has a positive regulatory effect on the activity of α bands of various brain regions.To some extent,electroacupuncture stimulation also alleviates the generation of negative emotions caused by head down bed rest.

Application of macrophage phagocytosis checkpoint blockade in anti-tumor immunotherapyAbstract:Macrophages,as essential components of the innate immune system,play a pivotal role in the anti-tumor immune response by directly phagocytosing tumor cells or through the secretion of cytokines and antigen presentation,which activates T cells after phagocytic activation.Nonetheless,tumor cells often elude macrophage attacks by overexpressing phagocytic checkpoint molecules such as CD47,PD-L1,or CD24.These molecules act on macrophages,transmitting inhibitory signals that suppress their phagocytic activity and facilitating immune evasion.Blocking the phagocytic checkpoint signals in macrophages to restore their capacity to eliminate tumor cells has emerged as a key strategy to enhance the effectiveness of tumor immunotherapy,as evidenced by clinical trials.This review primarily outlines the identified macrophage phagocytic checkpoint molecules and their blockade application in anti-tumor immune therapy,while also envisioning the future development of macrophage phagocytosis checkpoint blockade in anti-tumor immunotherapy.

Correlation between changes of serum lactic acid level and prognosis before and after hyperbaric oxygen treatment in high-altitude pulmonary edemaAbstract:Objective To explore the changes of serum lactic acid(LAC)level before and after hyperbaric oxygen(HBO)treatment in high-altitude pulmonary edema(HAPE)and its correlation with prognosis.Methods In this study,165 HAPE patients who received HBO treatment in Wenzhou People's Hospital from June 2020 to June 2023 were selected,and general data,blood routine parameters,blood biochemical tests,liver and kidney function,coagulation function indexes,inflammatory factor levels and other related clinical data of the subjects were statistically analyzed.According to the evaluation criteria of efficacy,patients with curative effect were divided into good prognosis group(n=118),and patients with effective and ineffective efficacy were divided into poor prognosis group(n=47).Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between LAC and prognosis of HBO treatment in HAPE patients.Subgroup analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between LAC and the risk of poor prognosis after HBO treatment in HAPE patients.Locally weighted scatterplot smoothing(LOWESS)was used to analyze the two-dimensional curve relationship of continuous variables.The interaction between blood flow in cerebral microcirculation and vascular growth factor was analyzed.The dose-response relationship between blood flow in cerebral microcirculation and poor prognosis was analyzed by restricted cubic splines.Finally,decision curve analysis(DCA)of blood flow in cerebral microcirculation was performed.Results Compared with before HBO treatment,there were statistically significant differences in heart rate,respiratory frequency,arterial oxygen saturation,arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide,arterial partial pressure of oxygen,albumin(Alb),globulin(Glb),red blood cell count,LAC,lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),blood uric acid,urine uric acid,serum aspartate aminotransferase(AST),α-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase(α-HBDH),and creatine kinase(CK)in HAPE patients after treatment(P<0.05).Among the HAPE patients treated with HBO,the indexes of Alb,Glb,LAC,LDH,AST,α-HBDH and CK in the poor prognosis group were significantly higher than those in the good prognosis group(P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that LAC,LDH,Alb,α-HBDH and CK were independent influencing factors of poor prognosis in HAPE patients(P<0.05).In the Alb,LDH,α-HBDH and CK subgroups,there was a stable correlation between LAC and the risk of poor prognosis after HBO treatment in HAPE patients,and there was no interaction between subgroups(Pinteraction>0.05).LOWESS analysis showed that Alb,LDH,α-HBDH,CK and LAC all had a certain nonlinear relationship,and LAC was positively correlated with Alb,LDH,α-HBDH and CK(P<0.05).Restricted cubic spline analysis showed that the continuous change of LAC was correlated with poor prognosis in a nonlinear dose-response manner,and LAC was positively correlated with poor prognosis(P<0.05).When LAC was greater than the cutoff value of 1.56 mmol/L,the risk of poor prognosis increased significantly with the increase of LAC level.DCA showed that LAC had important clinical value in predicting the prognosis of patients.Conclusion High-level LAC is an independent factor affecting the poor prognosis of HAPE patients,and it is positively correlated with poor prognosis.This index may be helpful to evaluate the prognosis of HAPE patients.

Advances in the role of astrocytes in post-traumatic stress disorderAbstract:The incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)is increasing year by year,but the traumatic events leading to PTSD and their consequences are often ignored by patients.Recent evidence suggests that the formation of fear memories and the occurrence of stress-related diseases are accompanied by morphological and functional remodeling of astrocytes.In this paper,we review the existing studies on the role of astrocytes in the pathogenesis of PTSD.Astrocytes synthesize and secrete neurotrophic,pro-and anti-inflammatory factors and regulate the microenvironment of central nervous system through metabolic pathways,ion homeostasis control,and clearance of neurotransmitters.Stress or trauma can cause damage to these important functions of astrocytes,which leads to the pathophysiological evolution of PTSD.Because of the above important role of astrocytes,they may become an effective potential target for PTSD treatment.
