Objective To compare three methods for culture of fetal cortical neurons of SD rats and find out the suitable culture conditions of fetal cortical neurons in vitro.Methods The cortex of 16-18-day embryonic rat was used for culture in this study.Mechanical dissociation, trypsin digestion and papain digestion were applied respectively to the neuron culture.The morphological characteristics of neuronal cells at different time points were observed and neuron purity was identified by immunofluorescence staining assay.Results High purity of the fetal rat cortical neurons was successfully achieved by all the three culture methods, and each had distinct morphological characteristics at different time points.The purity of neurons was 96.28%, 95.63%and 97.34%, respectively, with no significant differences among the three groups (P>0.05).Conclusions The three culture methods are improved in our study.Stable neurons with high purity can be obtained by all the three methods respectively, and each of these methods has distinct characteristics.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of lauromacrogol foam sclerosant in the treatment of peripheral venous malformations.Methods 21 patients with peripheral venous malformations were treated with foam sclerotherapy.The sclerosing foam was produced by Tessari's method using 1％ lauromacrogol.When necessary,the injections were repeated at an interval of four weeks,and this process contained 3 to 5 injections.Therapeutic outcomes and safety were established by evaluating size of lesion,symptom,duration of treatment and side-effects of treatment before and after treatment.Results 21 patients were followed up for 3 to 18 months.10 cases showed markedly shrinked or even disappeared of treated malformations,9 cases showed a reduction in size over 50 ％,and 2 cases showed a reduction in size less 50 ％.Local swelling occurred in almost per session,pyrexia in 5 patients,which resolved spontaneously within several days to 1 week.No major complication occurred.Conclusions Foam sclerotherapy using lauromacrogol seems to be a safe and effective therapeutic method for peripheral venous malformations.

Objective To systematically review ICU-nurse lightly sedated patients, in order to provide evidence for sedation. Methods Databases were searched including The Cochrane Library, Joanna Briggs Institute Library, PubMed, EMbase, Ovid, ELSEVIER CMB, CNKI and WANFAN from inception to May 2018, to collect qualitative studies in the experience of ICU nurses lightly sedated patients. The quality of included studies was evaluated according to JBI Critical Appraisal Tool for qualitative studies in Australia. The results were integrated by integrating methods. Results A total of seven studies were included. Thirty-five complete findings were grouped according to their similarities to form six categories. These categories resulted in two synthesized findings: Despite the complexity and unknowns of care, critical care nurses were slowly accepting the fact and try to cope with; there were some barriers on the implementation of sedation, there should have a multi-party collaboration. Conclusions the heath management system should pay more attention to implementing light sedation strategies, ICU-nurses should be given support, guidance and encouragement.

Objective:To standardize the origin of Rubi Fructus by using ITS2 and matK molecular markers to identify Rubi Fructus and its analogues. Methods:The ITS and matK sequences of Rubus chingii Hu, Rubus corchorifolius L.f., Rubus hirsutus Thunb., Rubus parvifolius L., Rubus buergeri Miq. and Rubus lambertianus Ser. were amplified and sequenced. The hidden Markov model was used to remove 5.8S and 28S from ITS sequences. A total of 25 ITS2 sequences were obtained. And a total of 22 matK sequences were obtained by proofreading by Glustal software. MEGA software was used for matK and ITS2 sequences analysis, intraspecific and interspecific genetic distances caculation, and neighbor joining (NJ) phylogenetic tree construction. ITS2 secondary structure was predicted by ITS2 database and aligned by 4Sale software. Profile neighbor-joining (PNJ) phylogenetic tree was constructed based on combined ITS2 sequence and its secondary structure by ProfDistS software. Results:An obvious barcoding gap between Rubi Fructus and its analogues was showed. The topological relationship between NJ tree and PNJ tree was consistent, and each taxon exhibits monophyly. The ITS2 secondary structure of Rubi Fructus was significant different from its analogues.Conclusions:It is recommended that both ITS2 and matK markers can serve as DNA barcodes for identifying Rubi Fructus and its analogues. The addition of ITS2 secondary structure information can enrich the identification results and provide theoretical support for resource research and variety selection of Rubi Fructus.

Objective:To investigate the effect of exercise rehabilitation on frailty of elderly patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) .Methods:From January to December 2021, 80 elderly patients with coronary heart disease who received PCI in Qinhuai Medical Area of General Hospital of Eastern Theater Command were selected as the study subject by convenience sampling. A total of 39 patients from January to June 2021 were set in the control group, and 41 patients from July to December 2021 were set in the experimental group. The control group was given routine nursing, and the experimental group was given systematic exercise rehabilitation on the basis of the control group. The effects of intervention were evaluated by Tilburg Frailty Index (FI) , Cardiac Exercise Self-Efficacy Instrument (CESEI) , cardiac function, exercise tolerance, and 6-minute Walking Distance (6MWD) .Results:There was no significant difference in FI and CESEI scores between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05) . After intervention, the FI score of patients in the experimental group was lower than that in the control group, and the CESEI score was higher than that in the control group, with statistically significant differences ( P<0.05) . There was no significant difference in cardiac function, exercise tolerance and 6MWD between the two groups before intervention ( P>0.05) . After intervention, there were statistically significant differences in cardiac function, exercise tolerance and 6MWD between the two groups ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Exercise rehabilitation can effectively alleviate the frailty of elderly patients with coronary heart disease after PCI, improve their exercise compliance, cardiac function and exercise tolerance, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective:To analyze the research hotspots of the application of mobile health in cardiac function monitoring of patients with heart disease and to conduct a visual analysis.Method:Subject field retrieval was carried out based on Web of Science Core Collection. The retrieval time range was set from 2000 to 2022, and the type of paper was limited to treatise. The retrieved literatures were imported into Endnote 7 for screening, and the repetitive and unrelated literatures were excluded. A total of 291 literatures were included in this study. Open refine 2.8 was used for data cleaning of synonyms and then VOSviewer 1.6.18 was used for visualization analysis of country/region, author and keywords.Results:Research reports on the application of mobile medical in the field of cardiac function monitoring in patients with heart disease have been growing steadily since 2005, and the number of articles published in the field increased rapidly from 2020 to 2021. The top five countries with the highest number of publications were the United States (71) , Australia (20) , China (18) , the United Kingdom (14) and Sweden (13) . The cooperation and exchange among global researchers were relatively close, but they were still dominated by regional cooperation and had not formed a large core group of authors. A total of 71 high-frequency keywords were included, and the top five were mhealth (30 times) , heart failure (27 times) , smartphone (26 times) , telemedicine (15 times) and mobile phone (17 times) . Each cluster keyword was related to each other, which represented the current research hotspot content respectively.Conclusions:At present, number of publications in China ranks first in the world, but there is still a big gap compared with the United States. The development and optimization of monitoring equipment and mobile medical APP have become the focus and hot topics.

Spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is a group of progressively aggravated neurodegenerative disease with autosomal dominant inheritance. Cerebellar ataxia is the core symptom, which may be accompanied by pyramidal tract signs, extrapyramidal signs, cognitive dysfunction and peripheral neuropathy. Although SCA can be accurately diagnosed by genetic testing, treatment is still difficult. We review the pathogenesis and therapeutic targets of SCA in recent years, in terms of genetic or gene regulation abnormalities, disruption of protein quality control (PQC) network, disruption of energy homeostasis, stability maintenance of PQC system, maintenance of cerebellar Purkinje cell function, and regulation of neuroinflammation, so as to promote the transformation of preclinical research into human therapy.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between intrahepatic triglyceride content (IHTC) and glucose metabolism in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) diagnosed by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy ( 1H-MRS). Methods:A total of 239 subjects without diabetes mellitus were previously enrolled and underwent 1H-MRS scans. Anthropometric indexes including height, weight, waist and blood pressure, and laboratory findings as plasma glucose (PG), insulin (INS), C-peptide (CP), liver enzymes [alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate transaminase (AST), γ-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT)] and lipid profiles were collected. According to IHTC levels, participants were divided into three groups: the non-NAFLD group (IHTC<5.56%), the mild NAFLD group (IHTC 5.56%-<33%), and the moderate and severe NAFLD group (IHTC ≥ 33%). The clinical characteristics of each group were analyzed, and the correlation between IHTC and glucose metabolism were assessed. Results:Compared with those in the non-NAFLD group, male proportion, waist, 120 min postprandial PG (PG120), CP, liver enzymes and total cholesterol (TC) levels were greater in the NAFLD group, whereas insulin sensitivity index-Cederholm (ISI-Cederholm) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels were lower in the NAFLD groups. Subjects in the moderate and severe NAFLD group had higher levels of 120 min postprandial INS (INS120) and Stumvoll indexes, and lower ISI-Cederholm than those in the mild NAFLD group [80.37 (57.68, 112.70) mU/L vs.110.50(71.78, 172.80)mU/L, 1453(1178, 1798)vs.1737(1325, 2380), 358(297, 446) vs.441(318, 594), 2.27(2.01, 2.53) vs.2.06(1.81, 2.39), respectively, all P<0.05]. Correlation analyses showed that IHTC was significantly positively correlated with waist hip ratio (WHR), PG120, INS120, HOMA insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), Stumvoll 1st-insulin secretion, Stumvoll 2nd-insulin secretion, ALT, AST, GGT and TC ( r=0.197, 0.274, 0.334, 0.162, 0.199, 0.211, 0.406, 0.361, 0.215, and 0.196, respectively, all P<0.05), and negatively correlated with ISI-Cederholm and HDL-C ( r=-0.334, and-0.237, respectively, all P<0.05). Furthermore, a multiple linear stepwise regression analysis indicated that ISI-Cederholm (Standardized β =-0.298, P<0.001) and Stumvoll 1st insulin secretion (Standardized β = 0.164, P = 0.024) were independent factors of IHTC. Conclusions:Peripheral insulin resistance occurs in the early stage of NAFLD and becomes worse with the progression of the disease. IHTC was independently associated with insulin sensitivity and first-phase insulin secretion.

Objective:To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of the cases firstly reported as "asymptomatic infection of COVID-19" in Guangdong province.Methods:The follow-up observation method was used to continuously track and observe the cases firstly reported as "asymptomatic patients with COVID-19" in Guangdong province from January 14 to March 31, 2020. The epidemiological data of the cases were collected to analyze their epidemiological characteristics, outcome and influencing factors.Results:From January 14 to March 31, 2020, a total of 325 cases were firstly reported as "asymptomatic infections of COVID-19" in Guangdong province. The epidemic curve of asymptomatic infection cases was similar to that of confirmed cases, and it had two peaks. The first peak was from January 27 to February 5, and the second peak was from March 17 to March 26. Of the 325 cases, 184 (56.6%) were subsequently converted to confirmed cases. These cases were defined as incubation period asymptomatic infection cases. The age median of the cases was 40 years, and 93.5% (172/184) of the cases showed symptoms within 3 days after the first positive nucleic acid tests were conducted, and 141 (43.4%) of the 325 cases remained asymptomatic status until they were cured and discharged. They were inapparent infection cases, accounting for 8.6% (141/1 642) of those diagnosed with COVID-19 in Guangdong province during the same period. The age median of inapparent infection cases was 27 years. The median of the interval between the first positive nucleic acid test and discharge was 14 days. Up to 90.8% (138/141) of the inapparent infection cases were discharged for centralized medical observation within 28 days. The longest interval between the first positive nucleic acid test and the last positive nucleic acid test was 73 days. The positive rate of nucleic acid test was 0.3% in close contacts of inapparent infection cases and 2.2% in close contacts of incubation period asymptomatic infection cases. There were significant differences in age distribution and source of infection between incubation period asymptomatic infection cases and inapparent infection cases ( P<0.05). Old age was the risk factor for the conversion of firstly reported asymptomatic infection cases to confirmed cases. Compared with the 0-19-year-old group, The patients aged 40-59 years and 60 years and above were more likely to become confirmed cases. The OR (95 %CI) values were 2.730 (1.380-5.402) and 5.302 (2.199-12.783), and P values were 0.004 and 0.000, respectively. People being infected in China were more likely to become confirmed cases ( OR=7.121, P=0.000). Conclusions:There were asymptomatic infection cases among patients diagnosed with COVID-19. The infectiousness of incubation period asymptomatic infection cases might be stronger than that of inapparent infection cases. The proportion of younger cases among asymptomatic infection cases was higher than that of the confirmed cases. Old age and domestic infection were the risk factors for the conversion of asymptomatic infection cases to confirmed cases, to which more attention should be paid. Further serological investigations are needed to provide a basis for the development of COVID-19 prevention and control strategies.

Objective To explore the effects of phthalanilic acid on immune system in mice from the respects of blood,tissues,cell and cytokines.And to find sensitive index of immunological effects and offer experimental data for toxicological safety evaluation.Methods 60 balb/c mice were randomly divided into 4 groups.The mice in control group were given soybean oil.The mice in group 2 to 4 were given phthalanilic acid at dose 30 mg/kg,100 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg by gavage respectively for 28 days.After 24 hours of the last contamination,the histopathology of spleen and thymus,immunologic factors and cell multiplication of lymphocyte were analysed.The data were analysed by SPSS.Results After contamination for 28 days,300 mg/kgphthalanilic acid could cause that the cell multiplication of lymphocyte were inhibited.Spleens were damaged at the dose of 100 mg/kg.The concentration of IFN-γand IL-4[(843.31 ±14.81) pg/ml and (1174.44t7.32) pg/ml]in thymus were increased significantly (P＜0.05) at the dose of 30 mg/kg.Conclusion Different doses of phthalanilic acid may damnify the immune system of mice at different degrees for 28 days continuous contamination.Phthalanilic acid might have immunotoxicity.
