Objective To explore the clinical effect of early cognitive rehabilitation on cognitive,physical function and quality of life in the patients transferred from intensive care unit (ICU).Methods A total of 120 cases of patients who were transferred from ICU to general wards was randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 60 cases in each group.The control group was given symptomatic treatment according to their original disease,without cognitive intervention.On the basis of the control group,the observation group was treated with cognitive rehabilitation training,2 times / week,2 h/ times,12 weeks of treatment.The cognitive function,physical function and quality of life of two groups were compared with the memory and executive screening scale (MES),the daily activity scale (ADL),and the concise Health Survey (SF-36) before and after treatment.Results Compared to before treatment,after treatment,MES,SF-36 (in addition to bodily pain) and ADL scale project score in the observation group was significantly higher,SF-36 bodily pain scores decreased significantly,all the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05);Compared to the control group,after treatment,the MES,SF-36 (in addition to bodily pain) and ADL scale scores in the observation group of were significantly increased,the bodily pain score of SF-36 in the observation group compared with the control group decreased significantly,all the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Early cognitive rehabilitation can significantly improve the cognitive,physical function and quality of life in the patients transferred from ICU,and it is worthy of clinical reference.

Objective To assess the association of three polymorphisms in Megsin (rs1055901,rs1055902 and rs2689399) and susceptibility of IgA nephropathy in Asian population.Methods We conducted a comprehensive search of electronic CNKI,VIP,WangFang Data,CBM,Pubmed,Web of Science and Google Scholar database on the association between Megsin rs1055901,rs1055902 and rs2689399 polymorphism and susceptibility of IgA nephrology in Asian population (last search update on 2 May 2016).Stata 12.0 software was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95 ％ CI (confidence interval),as well as sensitivity and publication bias analyses.Results Six publications encompassing mine case-control studies were finally included,including 2 179 cases and 1 769 controls.Finally,no significant association between Megsin rs1055901 and rs1055902 polymorphism and IgA nephrology in Asian population was identified,while a significantly decreased risk of IgA nephrology for rs2689399 polymorphism,was identified in Asian population (G and C:OR=0.754,95％CI 0.592-0.961,P=0.022;GG and CC:OR=0.506,95％CI 0.287-0.892,P=0.019;GG and GC+CC:OR=0.551,95％CI 0.316-0.961,P=0.036).Conclusion Rs2689399 G allele and GG genotype of Megsin may be the protective factors for IgA nephropathy in Asian population.

Objective: To investigate the effect of ginsenoside-rg1 (G-Rg1) on rat’s cardiomyocytes H9c2 with its mechanism of signal pathwayin vitro.
Methods: H9c2 cells were cultured and treated in different conditions by following groups:①Blank control group,②Hypoxia alone group, the cells were treated for (2, 6, 12, 24, 48) hr respectively,③G-Rg1 group, the cells were treated by G-Rg1 at (5, 10, 50) μmol/L respectively,④YC-1 group, which is the speciifc inhibitor of hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α),⑤YC-1 + G-Rg1 group,⑥Wortmannin group, which is the speciifc inhibitor for protein kinase B (Akt) phosphorylation and⑦Wortmannin + G-Rg1 group. Each experiment was conducted with 5 replicates. The effects of G-Rg1, hypoxia and YC-1 on cell activity and injury were studied; intracellular mRNA expressions of HIF-1α, glucose transporter-1 (GLUT-1) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) were examined by RT-PCR; protein expressions of HIF-1α, GLUT-1, HO-1, activating transcription factor-6 (ATF-6), CCAAT/enhancer binding protein homologous protein (CHOP) and Akt with its signal pathway factors were measured by Western blot analysis.
Results: The time of hypoxia was negatively related to cell activity (r=-0.8580,P<0.05) and positively related to LDH overlfow rate (r=0.9201,P<0.05). G-Rg1 (10μmol/L) group showed increased cell activity than Hypoxia alone (24 hr) group (87.8% vs 62.6 %,P<0.05), while decreased LDH overlfow (25.0% vs 74.8%,P<0.05), and up-regulated mRNA expressions of HIF-1α, GLUT-1 and HO-1, P<0.05. YC-1+ G-Rg1 group had decreased cell activity than G-Rg1 group (68.0% vs 87.8%,P<0.05), while increased LDH overlfow (56.4% vs 25.0%,P<0.05). Meanwhile, YC-1 clashed the effect of G-Rg1 on protein expressions of HIF-1α, GLUT-1, HO-1, ATF-6 and CHOP,P<0.05; wortmannin clashed the effect of G-Rg1 on protein expressions of HIF-1α, CHOP,P<0.05 and suppressed the two phosphorylation sites for Akt activation,P<0.05.
Conclusion: G-Rg1 may protect rat’s H9c2 cellsin vitro by activating expressions of HIF-1α with its downstream factors and inhibiting endoplasmic reticulum stress, which might be related to the effect of G-Rg1 on Akt activation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of microRNA-140 (miR-140) on the migration and invasion of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells and the possible mechanism.

METHODSmiR-140 mimics, miR-140 specific inhibitor or small interfering RNA (siRNA) against Smad3 were transfected into human CRC cell line RKO cells respectively, using Oligofectamine or Lipofectamine2000. Quantitative real-time PCR (real-time PCR) was used to measure the expression levels of miR-140 and Smad3 mRNA. Smad3 protein was analyzed by Western blot. The in vitro cell migrating and invasive abilities were determined by wound-healing and Transwell chamber assay after up-regulating or down-regulating miR-140 or knocking down Smad3.

RESULTSThe Western blot assays showed that the Smad3 protein level was significantly reduced after up-regulating miR-140 (0.04 ± 0.01), compared with that of (0.47 ± 0.02, P < 0.05) in the control group and that of (0.52 ± 0.06) in the negative control group (P < 0.05 for both). The results of real-time PCR indicated that no significant difference was found in the levels of Smad3 mRNA between miR-140 transfection and NC groups (1.11 ± 0.13 vs. 1.00 ± 0.06, P > 0.05). The wound-healing assay showed that the migrating ability was dramatically attenuated by miR-140 compared with that in the control and NC groups, whereas no significance was found when compared with that of the Smad3 siRNA transfected cells. The number of cells migrating through Transwell chamber without matrigel in the miR-140 group was (76.2 ± 4.4), remarkably lowered than that in the control (267.1 ± 4.9) and NC (336.1 ± 5.7) groups (P < 0.05 for both), but no significant difference between the miR-140 (76.2 ± 4.4) and Smad3 siRNA (83.5 ± 7.3) groups. Transwell chamber with matrigel assay showed that number of cells penetrating through the membrane was (109.5 ± 7.4) in the miR-140 group, significantly lower than that in the control (403.1 ± 5.1) and NC (392.6 ± 8.4) groups (P < 0.05 for both), while Smad3 siRNA transfection had a similar effect (138.8 ± 3.6)(P > 0.05). Down-regulation of miR-140 increased the level of smad3 protein expression, and partially reversed the inhibition of the cell migration and invasion mediated by miR-140. Co-transfection of miR-140 inhibitor and Smad3 siRNA had no significant effect on the Smad3 protein expression and the abilities of cell migration and invasion.

CONCLUSIONSmiR-140 regulates the Smad3 expression at the post-transcriptional level. miR-140 suppresses the migrating and invasive abilities of CRC cells, possibly through down-regulation of Smad3. The findings of this study suggest that miR-140 may have a unique potential as a possible biomarker candidate for diagnosis and therapy of tumor metastasis.

Novel coronavirus Omicron variant infection can cause severe illness and even death in certain populations. Omicron variant infection may lead to systemic inflammatory response, coagulation disorder, multi-organ dysfunction and other pathophysiological changes, which are different from other Novel coronavirus variants to a certain extent, so therapeutic strategies should not be the same. The National Medical Center for Major Public Health Events invited experts in fields of infectious diseases, respiratory medicine, intensive care, pediatrics and fever clinic to develop this quick guideline based on the current best evidence and extensive clinical practices. This quick guideline aims to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of novel coronavirus Omicron infection, and to improve the disease management abilities of clinicians.
