Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical and neuroelectrophysiological characteristics of patients with primary peripheral nerve hyperexcitability syndrome (PNHS). Methods: The clinical data of 20 patients who were diagnosed with PNHS in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from April 2016 to January 2023 were retrospectively collected. All patients underwent neuroelectrophysiological examinations. Clinical and electrophysiological characteristics were compared between the antibody positive and antibody negative groups, according to serum and cerebrospinal fluid anti-contactin-associated protein-like 2 (CASPR2) and/or anti-leucine-rich glioma-inactivated protein 1 (LGI-1) antibodies. Results: There were 12 males and 8 females, with a mean age of (44.0±17.2) years and the disease course of [M (Q1, Q3)] 2.3 (1.1, 11.5) months. Motor symptoms included fasciculations, myokymia, muscle pain, cramps, and stiffness. These symptoms were commonly seen in the lower limbs (17 patients), followed by upper limbs (11 patients), face (11 patients) and trunk (9 patients). Nineteen (19/20) patients had sensory abnormalities and/or autonomic dysfunction, 13 patients had central nervous system involvement, and 5 patients had concomitant lung cancer or thymic lesions. The characteristic spontaneous potentials on needle electromyography (EMG) were myokymia potential (19 patients), fasciculation potential (12 patients), spastic potential (3 patients), neuromyotonic potential (1 patients), etc, which were commonly seen in the lower limb muscles, especially the gastrocnemius muscle(12 patients). After-discharge potential was found in 8 patients, and 7 were in the tibial nerve. Seven patients had positive serum anti-CASPR2 antibodies, and 3 of them had concomitant anti-LGI1 antibodies. And 1 patient had positive serum anti-LGI1 antibody alone. Compared with patients in the antibody negative group (n=12), the patients who had anti-VGKC complex antibodies (n=8) had a shorter course of disease [M (Q1, Q3): 1.8 (1, 2) months vs 9.5 (3.3, 20.3) months, P=0.012], higher incidence of after-discharge potential (6/8 vs 2/12, P=0.019). The immunotherapy regimen (multi-dru, single-drug, no immunotherapy: 6, 2, 0 patients) in antibody-positive patients was different from the antibody-negative group (3, 6, 3 patients, U=21.00, P=0.023). Conclusions: The symptoms of motor nerve hyperexcitation, characteristic EMG spontaneous potentials and after-discharge potentials in PNHS patients are most commonly seen in the lower limbs. Attention should be paid to concomitant sensory and autonomic nerve hyperexcitation. PNHS patients with positive serum anti-CASPR2 antibodies may require immunotherapy with multiple drugs.

Abstract
As an important aquaculture species, improving the immunity of cultured Apostichopus japonicus (A. japonicus) is vital for its health in aquaculture farming. It has been shown that ARA is an important metabolite for A. japonicus infected by Vibrio splendidus. In this study, we aimed to determine the effects of dietary exogenous ARA on healthy sea cucumber cultures, including assessments of immunity, growth, and fatty acid content. Five experimental diets containing 0.01%, 0.29%, 0.46%, 0.70%, and 1.09% ARA were tested. The specific growth rate (SGR) of sea cucumbers did not be significantly affected by exogenous ARA diet groups. The results showed that dietary ARA between 0.49 and 1.09% notably improved the survival rate of sea cucumbers infected by Vibrio splendidus compared with the control group without exogenous ARA. The results also showed the effects of dietary ARA on immune-related genes, enzymes, and oxidation indices; most of the exogenous ARA significantly upregulated the mRNA expression of the genes NFκB, TLR, TLR3, TRAF6, Toll, and MyD88. The activities of ACP, AKP, and lysozyme increased in the 0.49-1.09% ARA groups, especially the dietary 0.49% ARA group. The SOD1 and NOS activities were enhanced by dietary ARA between 0.29 and 0.70%. Compared with the control, the MDA content increased, but the 0.49% ARA-diet group had a lower MDA content. Based on these data, 0.49-0.70% ARA significantly enhanced immunity in cultured A. japonicus. Exogenous 0.49% and 0.70% ARA also elevated the ARA, total PUFA and n-6 PUFA in the body walls. In conclusion, the appropriate exogenous ARA (0.49%-0.70%) in diets could improve immunity and fatty acid content considerably. The results provide basic evidence that ARA can serve a useful immune enhancer for A. japonicus aquaculture.

Abstract
Improving the immune ability and guiding healthy culture for sea cucumber by purposefully screening the significant differential metabolites when Apostichopus japonicus (A. japonicus) is infected by pathogens is important. In this study, 35 types of significant differential metabolites appeared when A. japonicus were infected by Vibrio splendens (VSI group) compared with the control A. japonicus group (CK group) by using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based untargeted metabolomics. Based on that finding, the 10 types of key metabolic pathways were analyzed by MetPA. The "arachidonic acid (ARA) metabolism" pathway, which was screened by three elevated biomarkers: ARA, prostaglandin F2α and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol, had an important impact on immune stress in A. japonicus. Due to the similar changes in several metabolites in its metabolic pathway, the ARA metabolic pathway was selected for further study. The activities of ACP, AKP and lysozyme, which are important innate immune-related enzymes, the survival rates of A. japonicus infected with V. splendidus and the relative content of ARA in the body wall detected by GC-MS were all upregulated significantly by exogenous daily 0.60% and 1.09% ARA consumption over a short period of approximately 7 days. These results demonstrated that ARA and its metabolic pathway indeed played important roles in the immunity of A. japonicus infected by the pathogen. The findings also provide novel insights for the effects of metabolites in A. japonicum healthy culture.

Abstract
Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) plays a crucial role in the modulation of orofacial pain, and we hypothesized that CGRP mediated a neuron-glia crosstalk in orofacial pain. The objective of this study was to elucidate the mechanisms whereby CGRP mediated trigeminal neuron-glia crosstalk in modulating orofacial pain. Orofacial pain was elicited by ligating closed-coil springs between incisors and molars. Trigeminal neurons and satellite glial cells (SGCs) were cultured for mechanistic exploration. Gene and protein expression were determined through immunostaining, polymerase chain reaction, and Western blot. Orofacial pain was evaluated through the rat grimace scale. Our results revealed that the expressions of CGRP were elevated in both trigeminal neurons and SGCs following the induction of orofacial pain. Intraganglionic administration of CGRP and olcegepant exacerbated and alleviated orofacial pain, respectively. The knockdown of CGRP through viral vector-mediated RNA interference was able to downregulate CGRP expressions in both neurons and SGCs and to alleviate orofacial pain. CGRP upregulated the expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase through the p38 signaling pathway in cultured SGCs. In turn, L-arginine (nitric oxide donor) was able to enhance orofacial pain by upregulating CGRP expressions in vivo. In cultured trigeminal neurons, L-arginine upregulated the expression of CGRP, and this effect was diminished by cilnidipine (N-type calcium channel blocker) while not by mibefradil (L-type calcium channel blocker). In conclusion, CGRP modulated orofacial pain through upregulating the expression of nitric oxide through the p38 signaling pathway in SGCs, and the resulting nitric oxide in turn stimulated CGRP expression through N-type calcium channel in neurons, building a CGRP-mediated positive-feedback neuron-glia crosstalk.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the clinical and electrophysiological features and prognosis of distal myasthenia gravis (MG). Methods: Data of MG patients in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from October 2016 to March 2017 were reviewed, including thorough neurological examinations, nerve conduction studies, repetitive nerve stimulations (RNS) and needle electromyographies. Distal MG patients were included and were analyzed as to their clinical and electrophysiological features and response to treatments. Results: Four patients (7.7%) could be classified as distal type among 52 definitely diagnosed MG patients. They had initial symptoms at age 36 to 64 and developed distal limb muscle weakness in the first month to 6 years after the onset of this disease. Hand muscles were preferentially involved in a non-uniform way. And one patient also had leg weakness on his tibialis anterior muscles. RNS showed a more significant decrement at slow rates in distal muscles, compared with proximal muscles. The baseline compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) of the distal affected muscles presented with slightly decreased or fluctuating amplitudes. Their weakness of ocular, bulbar, proximal and distal limb muscles improved generally after administration of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors or steroids plus acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Electrophysiological reexaminations revealed increased baseline CMAPs, reduced decrement on RNS, and relief of myogenic changes on needle electromyography. Conclusions: Relatively prominent distal limb muscle weakness can be found in a minority of MG patients. Besides profound decrement on slow rate RNS, the involved distal muscles may have a characteristic decreased baseline CMAP, sometimes with a diurnal fluctuation. Distal MG responds well to regular treatments. Its short-term prognosis seems similar to that of common MG with proximal predominance.

Abstract
Yme1L is an AAA protease that is embedded in the mitochondrial inner membrane with its catalytic domain facing the mitochondrial inner-membrane space. However, how Yme1L regulates mammalian mitochondrial function is still obscure. We find that endogenous Yme1L locates at punctate structures of mitochondria, and that loss of Yme1L in mouse embryonic fibroblast (MEF) cells results in mitochondrial fragmentation and leads to significant increased ‘kiss-and-run' type of mitochondrial fusion; however, Yme1L knockdown (shYme1L (short hairpin-mediated RNA interference of Yme1L)) cells still remain normal mitochondrial fusion although shYme1L mitochondria have a little bit less fusion and fission rates, and the shYme1L-induced fragmentation is due to a little bit more mitochondrial fission than fusion in cells. Furthermore, shYme1L-induced mitochondrial fragmentation is independent on optic atrophy 1 (OPA1) S1 or S2 processing, and shYme1L results in the stabilization of OPA1 long form (L-OPA1); in addition, the exogenous expression of OPA1 or L-OPA1 facilitates the shYme1L-induced mitochondrial fragmentation, thus this fragmentation induced by shYme1L appears to be associated with L-OPA1's stability. ShYme1L also causes a slight increase of mitochondrial dynamics proteins of 49 kDa and mitochondrial fission factor (Mff), which recruit mitochondrial key fission factor dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) into mitochondria in MEF cells, and loss of Drp1 or Mff inhibits the shYme1L-induced mitochondrial fragmentation. In addition, there is interaction between SLP-2 with Yme1L and shYme1L cells retain stress-induced mitochondrial hyperfusion. Taken together, our results clarify how Yme1L regulates mitochondrial morphology.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for patients who experienced pain during orthodontic treatment. The baseline characteristics were assessed via questionnaires and oral examinations. Four hundred and fifty eligible individuals were recruited and randomized by computer-generated block randomization into three groups: cognitive behavioral therapy intervention (n = 150), ibuprofen intervention (n = 150), and no intervention (control; n = 150). Primary outcomes were the change from baseline in pain intensity measured with 100-mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) scores at 1, 2, 3, 7, 14, and 30 days after initial archwire placement. Outcomes assessment was blinded and followed the intention-to-treat principle. One hundred forty-three (95.30%), 145 (96.70%), and 141 (94.00%) individuals in the cognitive behavioral therapy, the ibuprofen, and the control groups, respectively, completed the one-month follow-up evaluations. Those in the cognitive behavioral therapy group showed a greater decrease in mean VAS scores than did those in the control group over the previous five time-points (p < 0.001). Cognitive behavioral therapy was shown to be effective in pain control during the initial stage of orthodontic treatment. The study registration number was ChiCTR-TRC-00000556.

Abstract
In the title complex, [Ni(Im)(6)]((i)Pr-dtp)(2) or [Ni(C(3)H(4)N(2))(6)](C(6)H(14)O(2)PS(2))(2), the coordination around the Ni atom, located on an inversion centre, is octhahedral with all positions being occupied by tertiary N atoms of the imidazole moieties. Hydrogen bonds link the anions and cations into a two-dimensional network in the bc plane.

Abstract
In the crystal of the title complex, [Co(C(9)H(6)NO)(3)].C(2)H(5)OH, the central Co atom has a distorted octahedral coordination comprised of three N atoms and three O atoms from the three 8-quinolinolato ligands. The three Co-O bond distances are in the range 1.887 (2)-1.910 (2) A, while the three Co-N bond distances range from 1.919 (2) to 1.934 (2) A. The solvent ethanol molecule forms an intermolecular O-H.O hydrogen bonding with a quinolinolato ligand.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of secondary posterior chamber lens implantation for aphakia in children. METHODS Thirty-six consecutive pediatric aphakic eyes were retrospected. All eyes were secondarily implanted posterior-chamber lens using different operative techniques according to the condition of lens capsule remained after dissecting the posterior adhesion, forming extent space in posterior chamber. Follow-up ranged from 1 to 20 months. The effect of corrected visual acuity was observed. RESULTS Postoperative nated visual acuity was equal or better than corrected visual acuity preoperatively in 22 eyes(61.1%). Postoperative corrected visual acuity was better than that before surgery in 32 eyes (88.8%) and was equal to that before surgery in 4 eyes(11.1%). CONCLUSIONS Secondary posterior chamber IOLs implantation was an effective surgery for aphakic eyes in children, but attention should be paid to anti-inflammatory treatment and amblyopia treatment.

Abstract
Naphthalene-1-acetic acid (HNAA), dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (HDAA), and indole-3-acetic acid (HIAA) are auxinhormones that can affect the growth of plants. The lanthanide complexes of the above auxinhormone LnA3 x 3H2O (Ln = La3+, Ce3+, Sm3+, Er3+, Yb3+; HA = HNAA, HDAA, HIAA; A = NAA-, DAA-, IAA-) were synthesized and are characterized in this paper. The solubility and IR spectra of these complexes were also studied. Experiments of the effects of LnCl3 x nH2O, HA, and LnA3 x 3H2O on the growth rate of wheat coleoptile sections show, that LnCl3 x nH2O promotes the growth of wheat coleoptile when this compounds concentration is lower than 2 x 10(-5) M and the promotion is very significant when the concentration of Ln3+ is lower than 8 x 10(-6) M. It was also found that the effect of LnA3 x 3H2O on the growth of wheat coleoptile is stronger than that of LnCl3 x nH2O and HA, which indicates that the combination of Ln3+ with HA act synergistically.
