Objective To investigate anti-inflammatory effect of recombinant human erythropoietin(rhEPO) on bronchopulmonary dysplasia in newborn rats exposed to hyperoxia.Methods Ninety-six Wistar newborn rats were randomly divided into 4 groups after birth:room air-exposed control group,room air-exposed rhEPO treated group,hyperoxia-exposed group,and the hyperoxia-exposed rhEPO treated group.The last two groups were exposed to oxygen,FiO2 =850 mL/L,room air-exposed rhEPO treated and hyperoxia-exposed rhEPO treated group received rhEPO 2 400 IU/kg subcutaneously at birth,30 minutes' before oxygen exposure and 2 d after birth.The isodose of 9 g/L saline was given in the same way in room air-exposed controls and hyperoxia-exposed pups.Rats from each group were sacrificed on day 3,7 and 10.Lung histology was observed under microscope,and mRNA expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and cytokine-induced neutrophil hemoattractant-1 (CINC-1) were determined with reverse transcriotion-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results Under microscope,in the hyperoxia-exposed group,inflammatory cell influx was detected in the lungs on the 3rd day and there was marked neutrophlic infiltrate on the 7th day.Alveolar enlargement and fibrosis were evident on the 10th day.At the same time,the histopathological changes were improved greatly in the lungs of hyperoxia-exposed rhEPO treated pups compared with the hyperoxia-exposed pups.MCP-1 and CINC-1 mRNA expression increased in hyperoxia-exposed pups,compared with room air-exposed controls especially on the 7th day [(0.94 ± 0.45) vs (0.21 ± 0.03),P < 0.001 ; (1.26 ± 0.29) vs (0.26 ± 0.06),P < 0.001].MCP-1 and CINC-1 mRNA expression were greatly depressed in the hyperoxia-exposed rhEPO treated pups compared with the hyperoxia-exposed pups especially on the 7th day.[(0.65 ± 0.07) vs (0.94 ± 0.45),P<0.05;(0.83±0.07) vs (1.26±0.29),P<0.05].Conclusions The therapy of rhEPO (2 400 IU/kg) therapy can reduce lung inflammatory cell infiltration and alveolar fibrin deposition in newborn rats with hyperoxic lung injury,and it can restrain MCP-1 and CINC-1 mRNA expression.The anti-inflammatory mechanism of rhEPO is related to inhibition of MCP-l and CINC-1 mRNA expression.

Objective:To explore the research trends and hot spots of atrial fibrillation and cognitive impairment.Methods:Research papers and review articles related to atrial fibrillation and cognitive impairment was retrieved from the Web of Science core collection database from inception to November 17, 2021. The bibliometric and visualization analysis on the publishing times,journals and countries,related disciplines and key words was conducted with Excel and VOSviewer software.Results:A total of 1 496 articles were collected,showing a parabolic rise in the number of published articles in recent years. During this period,journal Stroke published more high quality articles in the field than others. The academic areas with the most publications were neurology, cardiovascular research, peripheral vascular disease and geriatrics. "Stroke" and "risk factors" were the keywords with the highest frequency. The research hot spots of atrial fibrillation and cognitive impairment mainly focused on anticoagulant drugs, mechanism research, epidemiology catheter ablation and status quo investigation. Conclusion:Through visualization, the development trend and research hot spots on atrial fibrillation and cognitive dysfunction are displayed intuitively, to provide reference for future studies.

Objective To investigate the molecular epidemiology and clinical characteristics of human bocavirus in children with acute respiratory tract infection in Shanghai,China.Methods Between January 2012 and December 2012,271 nasopharyngeal aspiration (NPA) samples were collected from children who had been hospitalized for acute respiratory tract infection at Shanghai,China.HBoV NS1 gene was detected by the nested polymerase chain reaction.In the further,other common respiratory viruses (HRV,RSV,ADV et al) was screened in HBoV positive samples,All PCR positive products were sequenced and phylogenetic analysis.Results The overall frequency of HBoV,infection was 11.4%.21of 31 HBoV positive sample tested were mix-infection.HBoV was detected from all over year.Children with HBoV varied in age from 4 months to 4-years (median age,17 months).The clinical diagnoses of HBoV positive patients included acute upper respiratory tract infection and lower respiratory tract infection.The clinical presentations of HBoV positive children included fever,cough,sputum production,diarrhea,vomiting;pharynx engorgement,crackles,wheezing.There being a statistically significant difference in the detection rates of HBoV between the outpatients and inpatients.The HBoV NS1 gene sequences phylogenetic analysis revealed that 29 HBoV1 NS1 sequences shared 99%-100% nucleotide identity with the human bocavirus strain,whereas the amino acid identity was 96%-100%.The two HBoV2 NS1 sequences shared 99% nucleotide sequence identity with HBoV2 strain FJ170282 respectively.Conclusions Human bocavirus was distributed in Shanghai region,HBoV1 was dominant and HBoV2 was detected at the first time.The symptom and clinical diagnoses has no specificity with patients with other common respiratory viruses.
