    Abstract Objectives: The Hui people are the adherents of Muslim faith and distributing throughout China. There are two contrasting hypotheses about the origin and diversification of the Hui people, namely, the demic diffusion involving the mass movement of people or simple cultural diffusion.
    Materials and methods: We collected 621 unrelated male individuals from 23 Hui populations all over China. We comprehensively genotyped more than 100 informative Y-chromosomal single nucleotide polymorphisms and 17 Y-chromosomal short tandem repeats (STRs) on those samples.
    Results: Co-analyzed with published worldwide populations, our results suggest the origin of Hui people has involved massive assimilation of indigenous East Asians with about 70% in total of the paternal ancestry could be traced back to East Asia and the left 30% to various regions in West Eurasia.
    Discussion: The genetic structure of the extant Hui populations was primarily shaped by the indigenous East Asian populations as they contribute the majority part of the paternal lineages of Hui people. The West Eurasian admixture was probably a sex-biased male-driven process since we have not found such a high proportion of West Eurasian gene flow on autosomal STRs and maternal mtDNA.

    Abstract This study aims to investigate the effect and mechanism of Maxingshigan Decoction on inflammation in the rat model of cough variant asthma(CVA). The SPF-grade SD rats of 6-8 weeks were randomized into normal, model, Montelukast sodium, and low-, medium-, and high-dose Maxing Shigan Decoction groups, with 8 rats in each group. The CVA rat model was induced by ovalbumin(OVA) and aluminum hydroxide sensitization and ovalbumin stimulation. The normal group and model group were administrated with equal volume of normal saline by gavage, and other groups with corresponding drugs by gavage. After the experiment, the number of white blood cells in blood and the levels of interleukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-10(IL-10), and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in the serum were measured. The lung tissue was stained with hematoxylin-eosin(HE). Western blot was employed to determine the protein levels of nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB), Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4), myeloid differentiation protein(MyD88), and mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK) in the lung tissue. Real-time PCR was carried out to measure the mRNA levels of TLR4 and MyD88 in the lung tissue. Compared with the normal group, the model group showed increased white blood cells, elevated IL-6 and TNF-α levels(P<0.01), lowered IL-10 level(P<0.01), up-regulated protein levels of TLR4, MyD88, p-p65/NF-κB p65, and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK(P<0.01) and mRNA levels of TLR4 and MyD88(P<0.01) in the lung tissue. HE staining showed obvious infiltration of inflammatory cells around the airway and cell disarrangement in the model group. Compared with the model group, Montelukast sodium and high-dose Maxing Shigan Decoction reduced the white blood cells, lowered the IL-6 and TNF-α levels(P<0.01), and elevated the IL-10 level(P<0.01). Moreover, they down-regulated the protein levels of TLR4, MyD88, p-p65/NF-κB p65, p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK in the lung tissue(P<0.01) and the mRNA levels of TLR4 and MyD88 in the lung tissue(P<0.01). HE staining showed that Montelukast sodium and high-dose Maxing Shigan Decoction reduced inflammatory cell infiltration and cell disarrangement. The number of white blood cells, the levels of IL-10 and TNF-α in the serum, the protein levels of TLR4, MyD88, p-p65/NF-κB p65, and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK, and the mRNA levels of TLR4 and MyD88 in the lung tissue showed no significant differences between the Montelukast sodium group and high-dose Maxing Shigan Decoction group. Maxing Shigan Decoction can inhibit airway inflammation in CVA rats by inhibiting the activation of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB and p38 MAPK signaling pathways.

    Abstract Depression, a global health problem with growing prevalence, brings serious impacts on the daily life of patients. However, the antidepressants currently used in clinical are not perfectly effective, which greatly reduces the compliance of patients. Berberine is a natural quaternary alkaloid which has been shown to have a variety of pharmacological effects, such as hypoglycemic, lipid-regulation, anti-cancer, antibacterial, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, and antidepressant. This review summarizes the evidence of pharmacological applications of berberine in treating depression and elucidates the mechanisms of berberine regulating neurotransmitter levels, promoting the regeneration of hippocampal neurons, improving hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction, anti-oxidative stress, and suppressing inflammatory status in order to provide a reference for further research and clinical application of berberine.

    Abstract A major challenge in combining cancer immunotherapy is the efficient delivery of multiple types of immunological stimulators to elicit a robust anti-tumor immune response and reprogram the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we developed a DNA nanodevice that was generated by precisely assembling three types of immunological stimulators. The doxorubicin (Dox) component induced immunogenic cell death (ICD) in tumor cells and enhanced phagocytosis of antigen-presenting cells (APCs). Exogenous double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) could act as a molecular adjuvant to activate the stimulator of interferon genes (STING) signaling in APCs by engulfing dying tumor cells. Interleukin (IL)-12 and small hairpin programmed cell death-ligand 1 (shPD-L1) transcription templates were designed to regulate TME. Additionally, for targeted drug delivery, multiple cyclo[Arg-Gly-Asp-(d-Phe)-Cys] (cRGD) peptide units on DNA origami were employed. The incorporation of disulfide bonds allowed the release of multiple modules in response to intracellular glutathione (GSH) in tumors. The nanodevice promoted the infiltration of CD8

    Abstract Purpose: This research was designed to investigate the effects of hydromorphone combined with ropivacaine anesthesia on brachial plexus block of upper limbs in children.
    Design: This was a randomized prospective study.
    Methods: A total of 120 children with upper limb fractures were included in this study and treated wtih open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF). The children were randomized into control group and research group. All of them were given a brachial plexus block and anesthetics (control group: 0.2% ropivacaine; research group: additional 5 μg/kg hydromorphone.
    Findings: The time of onset and exercise recovery of the research group increased, and the use times of analgesic drugs decreased, which were significantly different from those of the control group (all P<.05).
    Conclusions: Hydromorphone can enhance the effectiveness of ropivacaine in blocking the brachial plexus and reduce postoperative pain and the demand for analgesics. Strong postoperative sedation can improve sleep quality and nursing satisfaction.

    Abstract Objective: To assess the relationship between walking exercise and medial joint space narrowing (JSN) progression, symptoms, and knee extensor muscle strength (EMS) in early knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients.
    Methods: This nested cohort study within the Osteoarthritis Initiative included participants aged 50 and above with knee OA (Kellgren-Lawrence grades 0-2). Walking exercisers were identified using a modified Historical Physical Activity Survey Instrument. Differences in medial JSN, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS), and knee EMS were evaluated through the three-way ANOVA.
    Results: Among 896 participants, 83.4% reported walking exercise. Female walkers showed significant improvements in symptoms (KOOS-Pain: P < 0.001; KOOS-Symptom: P < 0.001; KOOS-Quality of Life (QOL): P < 0.001; KOOS-Function, Sports, and Recreational Activities (FSR): P = 0.007). Similar results were observed in male walkers (KOOS-Pain: P < 0.001; KOOS-Symptom: P < 0.001; KOOS- QOL: P = 0.001; KOOS- FSR: P = 0.009). Walkers showed significantly increased knee EMS at 24 months (Female: P < 0.001; Male: P = 0.003). Female non-walkers had significantly decreased knee EMS at 24 months (P < 0.001). Walkers showed significant improvement in medial JSN (OR = 1.1, 95% CI: 1.0 to 1.2) and KL grade (OR = 1.0, 95% CI: 1.0 to 1.1) compared to non-walkers.
    Conclusion: Walking exercise prevents structural progression and improves symptoms. Meanwhile, the increased knee EMS in all walkers further supports the validity of recommending walking exercises for early-stage knee OA patients.

    Abstract Rationale: Comamonas kerstersii mainly causes intra-abdominal infections with favorable outcomes due to high antibiotic susceptibility. We report the first case of pneumonia caused by C Kerstersii, which promoted patient death, and a second urinary tract infection by C Kerstersii with extensive drug resistance.
    Patient concerns: A 46-year-old male (Case 1) with craniocerebral injury underwent emergency decompressive craniectomy, but his condition deteriorated further and presented with discontinuous fever, small moist rales on both lungs, and respiratory failure. Retrospective average nucleotide identity (ANI) analysis of the genomic sequence of the sputum isolate identified it as C Kerstersii 12322-1, antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) revealed that it was sensitive to 18 of 21 tested antibiotics.An 82-year-old male (Case 2) with hypertrophic prostate experienced gradual obstruction during urination, and a urine test revealed WBC ++. Retrospective ANI analysis of the urine isolate identified it as C Kerstersii 121606, which was resistant to 18 of 21 tested antibiotics.
    Diagnoses: Case 1 was diagnosed empirically as pneumonia caused by C Kerstersii strain 12322-1 secondary to craniocerebral injury and confirmed by retrospective ANI analysis; case 2 was diagnosed empirically as urinary infection secondary to prostate hyperplasia caused by C Kerstersii strain 121606 confirmed by the retrospective ANI analysis.
    Interventions: Case 1 was administered cefoxitin, cefodizime, imipenem-cilastatin sodium, and underwent comprehensive salvage management. Case 2 was administered doxycycline alone.
    Outcomes: Case 1 died partially because of untimely identification of the responsible bacteria-12322-1. Case 2 was cured even 121606 exhibited an extensive drug resistance feature.
    Lessons: Except for intra-abdominal infections with good prognosis, we verified that C Kerstersii could also cause extra-abdominal infections, such as the first pneumonia case and urinary infection. It could promote patient death; actual infections were underestimated due to identification difficulties, posing a health threat due to the presence of extensive drug resistance.
