Objective To explore the ability of copeptin to predict infarction severity and prognosis after 3 months in patients with acute cerebral infarction .Methods One hundred and thirty‐eight consecutive patients were included with an acute cerebral in‐farction and admitted to the hospital within 72 h .Plasma copeptin levels were measured by double antibody enzyme linked immu‐nosorbent assay and neurological impairment were evaluated by the national institutes of health stroke scale score (NIHSS) after hospitalization .The patients were divided into mild ,moderate and severe groups according to NIHSS score .At the same time ,60 healthy adults were selected as control group .Unfavorable outcome was defined as a modified rankin scale score>2 .The correlation of plasma copeptin levels with 3 month unfavorable outcome was analyzed .Results Upon admission ,plasma copeptin level in pa‐tients was statistically significantly higher than that in healthy controls (P<0 .01) ,the highest was found in severe subgroup (P<0 .05) .Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that copeptin was independently associated with unfavorable outcome within 3 months (OR=4 .403 ,95% CI:1 .120-8 .328 ,P<0 .05) .Conclusion Copeptin levels contribute to mirror the initial infarction se‐verity and even bear an association with poor outcome of patients with cerebral infarction within 3 months .

Objective To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) plus oxygenmedicine (OM) on the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in the hippocampal CA 1 area in cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury (CI/RI) rats. Methods Thirty SD rats were randomized into sham-operation,model,EA,OM,EA+OM groups (n=6/group). CI/RI model was established by using modified Pulsinelli 4 vessel occlusion and reperfusion. EA (100 Hz,3.5 mA) was applied to "Baihui" (GV 20) and "Zusanli" (ST 36) 30 min,once daily for 4 days. Rats of OM and EA+OM groups were put into a box filled with oxygen and atomized herbal medicines containing Bingpian (Borneolum),Shexiang (Moschus),Huangjing (Rhizoma Polygonati),Shouwu (Radix Polygoni Multiflori),etc. for 30 min,once daily for 4 days. Bcl-2 and Bax expression of the hippocampal CA 1 area was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with sham group,the numbers of Bcl-2 immunoreaction (IR) and Bax IR positive cells,and the immunoactivity of Bcl-2 IR and Bax IR positive products in the hippocampal CA 1 area were increased significantly in model group (P0.05). Conclusion EA and OM and EA+OM can effectively regulate the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in the hippocampal CA 1 area in CI/RI rats,and the effects of EA+OM are significantly superior to those of simple EA and simple OM,which may contribute to their effect in improving cerebral ischemia.

Aim To investigate the effects of PLCε on the invasion and migration of human osteosarcoma cancer cells U2OS. Methods RNA interference ( RNAi) was used to inhibit PLCεexpression, and the proliferation of cancer cells was measured by CCK-8 assay. The migration of the cells was measured by scratch wound healing assay and migration chamber as-say. Gelatin zymography was performed to measure the MMP2 activities in U2OS cells. Results PLCε ex-pression was suppressed by siRNA. CCK-8 assay showed that PLCε had no effect on the proliferation of cancer cells. PLCε knockdown inhibited cell invasion and activities of MMP2 . Conclusion PLCε knock-down can inhibit the migration and invasion of human osteosarcoma cancer cells U2OS.

AIM: To explore the different effect and mechanism of arsenic sulfide on telemorase activity and hTERT-mRNA expression in CML cell lines-KS62 and APL cell lines-NB4. METHODS: Telomerase activity was determined by polymerase chain reaction enzyme-linked immunoassay (PCR-ELISA). The expression of hTERT-mRNA was analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the cell cycle and apoptosis. RESULTS: 0.15-0.6 mg/L arsenic sulfide (72 h)can induce apoptosis and inhibit telomerase activity and hTERT-mRNA expression in NB4 cell. The concentration of arsenic sulfide with the same effect on K562 cell was 0.3-3 mg/U 0.3 mg/L arsenic sulfide (72 h) can cause the proportion of the NB4 cell in G2/M phase increased, but for K562 cell, The concentration of arsenic sulfide was 1.5 mg/L. CONCLUSION: Telomerase system may be one.of the pathway for arsenic sulfide inducing apoptosis of NB4 and K562 cell; G2/M phrase arrest may have correlation with decrease of telomerase activity; The sensitivity of NB4 and K562 call for arsenic sulfide is different, the mechanism of it need to study more.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of plasma lipoprotein phospholipase A2 (Lp -PLA2 )and D -dimer in patients with hypertension complicated with stroke.Methods 70 hypertensive patients with stroke were selected as A group,72 patients with simple hypertension were selected as B group,and 71 healthy sub-jects were selected as C group.The light transmitting method was used to detect serum Lp -PLA2 ,and immunoturbi-dimetry was used to detect plasma D -dimer.The clinical value of the two joint detection and single detection in prediction of hypertension complicated with stroke was analyzed.Results The plasma Lp -PLA2 and D -dimer levels of A group were (471.88 ±181.49)ng/mL,(982.54 ±373.28)μg/mL,which were higher than those of B group[(195.17 ±34.74)ng/mL,(263.57 ±29.70)μg/mL]and C group[(122.94 ±46.25)ng/mL,(96.44 ± 8.49)μg/mL](F =189.7,171.1,all P =0.000).The plasma Lp -PLA2 level of A group was positively correlated with D -dimer(r =0.692,P <0.01).The plasma D -dimer >252g/mL forecast hypertension stroke risk sensitivity was 83.3% and specificity was 98.6%,the plasma Lp -PLA2 >176.36ng/mL forecast hypertension stroke risk sen-sitivity was 92.9% and specificity was 83.1%,and the combined prediction of hypertension stroke risk sensitivity was 87.6%,specificity was 93.5%.Conclusion The plasma levels of Lp -PLA2 and D -dimer are significantly increased in hypertensive patients with stroke,and the combined detection of the two indicators can improve the prediction of stroke risk in patients with hypertension.

Objective: To investigate the effects of a ketogenic diet (KD) alone and in combination with resistance training (KD+RT) on body composition and glucolipid metabolism of obese and female college students, and to provide a theoretical basis for the application of KD+RT in obese patients. Methods: Totally 45 obese and female college students in Wuyi University were recruited and randomly divided into KD group ( n =23) and KD+RT group ( n =22) in September 2021. After received training for 4 weeks, the changes of body composition and glucose and lipid metabolism of obese and female college students were compared before and after intervention. Results: Both a 4 week KD and KD+RT led to decreases in weight, BMI, body fat mass, body fat percentage, waist to hip ratio, visceral fat area of obese female college students ( t =16.19, 16.21, 12.42, 7.99, 2.10, 6.37; 18.82, 18.02, 17.80, 10.72, 3.41, 7.59, P <0.01). The change of muscle mass was decreased in KD group( t=4.12, P <0.01), but there was no statistically significant difference in KD+RT group( P >0.05). Both a 4 week KD and KD+RT significantly reduced the levels of the fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin, glycosylated hemoglobin and triglyceride (TG) of obese female college students ( t =10.15, 8.94 , 6.94, 7.63; 9.23, 12.75, 9.85, 9.09, P <0.01), and increased the high density lipoprotein (HDL) level( t =-7.36, -5.22, P <0.01). However, only KD+RT group had a significant decrease in the level of LDL ( t =5.27, P <0.01), and there was no significant change in the level of TC both groups ( P >0.05). After the intervention, there was no statistically significant difference between the KD+RT group compared to the KD group ( P >0.05), except for a significant decrease in triacylglycerol ( t =2.51, P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Both a short term KD and KD+RT show beneficial changes in body composition and glucolipid metabolism in obese female college students. However, the KD+RT is superior to a KD in maintaining muscle mass and reducing the effects of lipid metabolism.

Objective:To explore the medication law of TCM in the treatment of superficial vein thrombosis (SVT) using data mining.Methods:Literature about TCM in the treatment of SVT was retrieved from CNKI, Wanfang Data, and VIP from the establishment of the databases to November 27th, 2022. WPS 12.1.0.15990 was used to conduct statistical analysis on drug frequency, property and taste and meridian. The association rules and systematic clustering were carried out by SPSS Modeler 18.0 and SPSS Statistics 25.0.
