Objective To study the localizations and changes of mRNA for nNOS-interacting DHHC domain-containing protein with dendritic mRNA(NIDD) in normal and injured peripheral nerves. Methods Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR(FQ-PCR) and a combination of in situ hybridization and indirect immunofluorescence were used to detect the localizations and changes of mRNA for nNOS and NIDD. Results It was found that nNOS and NIDD were mainly localized in Schwann cells(SCs) of normal sciatic nerve,and the expression peaked in crushed sections of sciatic nerve in the 2nd week after injury and in proximate or distal transected stumps in the 1st week after injury respectively.Expressions of mRNA for nNOS and NIDD were detected in the perinuclear plasm of primary SCs as well.Conclusion The increase in mRNA for NIDD in SCs may play an important role in axonal regeneration after nerve injury.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of both lower extremities exercise therapy on the prevention of deep vein thrombosis.Methods According to the randomized principal,200 cases of patients with limb paralysis caused by cerebrovascular disease were divided into the experimental group and the control group by random number table,and each group contained 100 cases.The experimental group was given both lower extremities exercise therapy in addition to routine care of limbs paralysis caused by cerebrovascular diseases.The control group received routine care and simple postoperative activity health education by nurses.The occurrence of deep venous thrombosis before the intervention and one month after intervention was evaluated in two groups.Results The incidence of deep vein thrombosis in the experimental group after intervention one month was lowered more significantly than that in the control group.Conclusions Both lower extremities exercise therapy can improve lower extremity venous blood flow velocity,and safely and effectively prevent the occurrence of DVT of patients with limb paralysis caused by cerebrovascular disease.

Objective: To investigate the pharmacodynamics of modified Xiaochaihutang granules (MXG) and its active ingredients group (AIG) on gastric ulcer in order to provide scientific basis for the clinical effect and lay foundation for the development of related hospital preparations.Methods: Gastric ulcer models induced by pyloric ligation,acetic acid and ethanol were applied to observe the curative effects of MXG and its AIG, and the effects of MXG and its AIG on gastric secretion, gastric acid content, pepsin activity, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde(MDA) contents were also studied.Results: Compared to the model control group,MXG and AIG could significantly reduce the ulcer index(P<0.01), total acidity(P<0.01),and pepsin activity (P<0.05 or 0.01), increase the SOD activity (P<0.05)and inhibit the increase of lipid peroxide MDA.Conclusion: MXG and AIG show better control effects on acute and chronic gastric ulcer, and the effects are related to reducing the activity of pepsin, increasing the SOD activity, inhibiting the increase of lipid peroxide MDA and so on.

Objective:To study the effects of LPS and TNF-? on the expression of SSeCKS and morphology as well as cytoskeleton of endothelial cell, so as to explore the role of SSeCKS in cell morphology changes.Methods:The cultured Bovine pulmonary artery endothelial cells(BPAEC) was induced by LPS, TNF-? and the expression of SSeCKS was detected by in situ hybridization,Western blot and immunohistology. Immunofluorescent staining method with confocal laser-scanning fluorescence microscope was used to observe the effects of LPS and TNF-? on the morphology of endothelial cells and the organisation of SSeCKS as well as cytoskeleton.Results:Firstly, we found that TNF-? could induce the expression of SSeCKS in a concentration and time dependent manner , meanwhile LPS had no effects on SSeCKS expression. Secondly, it was observed that LPS and TNF-? induced reorganization of F-actin and SSeCKS in endothelial cell. Thirdly,PKC inhibitor Ro-31-8220 reversed the effect of LPS,TNF-? on F-actin and SSeCKS in endothelial cells.Conclusion:The results demonstrate that TNF-? could induce endothelial cell to express SSeCKS; PKC plays a role in the reorganization of SSeCKS and F-actin in endothelial cells induced by LPS and TNF-?; the results suggest that the mechanism for reorganization of cytoskeleton induced by LPS, TNF-? be partially related to the SSeCKS of ECs.

Objective: To investigate the factors influencing the development of gastric cancer in Chinese populations, so as provide insights into creating a model for predicting gastric cancer incidence among Chinese populations. Methods: The case-control and cohort studies pertaining to factors affecting the development of gastric cancer were retrieved in electronic Chinese and English databases, including CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science and Embase from their inception until September 30, 2021. A meta-analysis was performed using R package version 4.1.0. Sensitivity analysis was performed using the “leave-one-out” evaluation procedure, and the publication bias was evaluated using the Egger regression test and the trim-and-fill procedure. Results: A total of 5 301 publications were screened and 116 eligible studies were included in the final analysis, including 103 case-control studies and 13 cohort studies, which covered approximately 3.23 million study subjects. A total of 45 factors affecting the development of gastric cancer were collected, and there were less than 4 publications reporting 7 factors, which were only qualitatively described. There were 38 factors included in the final meta-analysis. A total of 21 factors were identified as risk factors of gastric cancer, including a history of gastrointestinal diseases (pooled OR=4.85, 95%CI: 3.74-6.29), H. pylori infection (pooled OR=3.18, 95%CI: 2.35-4.32), binge eating and drinking (pooled OR=2.88, 95%CI: 2.09-3.97) and a family history of tumors (pooled OR=2.78, 95%CI: 2.17-3.56), and 10 factors as protective factors, including vegetable intake (pooled OR=0.48, 95%CI: 0.38-0.61), tea consumption (pooled OR=0.55, 95%CI: 0.47-0.64), administration of aspirin (pooled OR=0.53, 95%CI: 0.31-0.92) and administration of statins (pooled OR=0.59, 95%CI: 0.44-0.80). Sensitivity analyses of eating moldy food frequently, white meat intake, favoring spicy food and administration of sulfonylureas were not robust. Following correction with the trim-and-fill procedure, there was still a publication bias pertaining to high income, diabetes, administration of stains, alcohol consumption, tea consumption and white meat intake. Conclusions The development of gastric cancer is associated with a medical history of gastrointestinal disease, H. pylori infection, family history of tumors and poor dietary habits. Risk and protective factors of gastric cancer are recommended to be included in models used to predict gastric cancer incidence among Chinese populations.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical efficacy of microwave ablation in treating snoring and obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS). METHODS Eight patients with snores and 48 with OSAHS were included in the study. They all received micro-surgeries including plastic operations on the uvula and soft palate,tonsil ablation and tonsillectomy,inferior nasal concha and adenoid ablation,and de-volume of the tongue root. Symptoms six months before and after surgery were monitored by Polysomnography(PSG). RESULTS In 56 cases, the patients’ throats were widened. The mean values of the apnea hypopnea index(AHI), the lowest saturations (LSaO2) and the snoring index were significantly different before and after surgery(P

OBJECTIVETo summarize the management of infant vascular tumors with Kasabach-Merritt phenomenon (KMP) and to evaluate the effect of drug combined with sclerotherapy.

METHODSFrom Feb. 2007 to Nov. 2014, 25 cases with KMP, who underwent drug therapy combined with sclerotherapy, were retrospectively studied. Oral corticosteroids (2 mg/kg per day) was used as the first-line therapy on all of the patients and intravenous vincristine (1.5 mg/m2 every week) was added when the platelet counts didn't recover obviously after 2-3 weeks. After the recovery of the platelet counts, the patients were admitted for sclerotherapy (average, 4.56 sessions per case) with 100% alcohol (1-3 ml per session), Lauromacrogol (1.25-5 ml per session) and betamethasone (0.25-1 ml per session). All the patients were followed up for 42 months ( range, 9 months to 6.5 years). Therapeutic outcomes were assessed by evaluating platelet counts, size of lesion, function of trunk and limb.

RESULTSAll the 25 cases got obvious recovery in the platelet counts [average, (94.3 ± 18.5) x 10(9)/L] after drug therapy, of which 16 were treated by single oral corticosteroids for 4-7 weeks and 9 were treated by corticosteroids plus intravenous vincristine for 2-5 weeks. Meantime, 11 cases received platelet transfusions, of which 3 were coupled with gamma globulin intramuscularly. During the first admission, each of the 25 cases received 1-4 sessions of sclerotherapy (average, 2.6 sessions each case). One week after the sclerotherapy, the platelet counts returned to (167-312) x 10(9)/L (average, (258.5 ± 34.4) x 10(9)/L). The hemoglobin and blood coagulation function returned to normal within 1-5 weeks. Meanwhile the mental condition, appetite, body weight, sleeping were greatly improved. The size of the lesions decreased gradually after the combined therapy including 13 cases within 3-12 months and 13 cases within 13-36 months. Long term follow-up indicated that only 1 case need treatment for recurrent decrease of platelet counts, and all of the 25 cases kept the normal weight, height, immunity as well as the growing development.

CONCLUSIONSOral corticosteroids plus intravenous vincristine combined with sclerotherapy is a reliable management with high cure rate, short course and minor side-effect.

Objective:To discuss the protective effect of Syringin (SYR) on myotube cell atrophy induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and its molecular mechanism.Methods:After C2C12 myoblasts were differentiated into myotubes, they were divided into normal control group, model group and syringin group according to the random number table method. The cultured medium of model group and syringin group were added with LPS with a concentration of 200 ng/ml; the cultured medium of the syringin group was also added with 10 μmol/L syringin for 24 h. CCK8 was used to detect cell viability. In cell supernatant, NO release was detected with Griess and TNF-α level was detected by ELISA kit. The expression of NF-κB, PPAR γ1, MyHC were detected by Western blot.Results:Compared with the model group, the viability of cells [(101.08±8.92)%, (79.53±5.19)% vs. (69.07±7.16)%] in the 10 μmol/L and 100 μmol/L syringin groups were significantly increased ( P<0.01 or P<0.01), of which 10 μmol/L syringin had better effect. Compared with the model group, the level of NO [(2.92±0.33) μmol/L vs. (3.57±0.41) μmol/L] in the syringin group was significantly decreased after 6 hours of intervention ( P<0.01), and the cells in the syringin group after 24 hours of intervention, the level of TNF-α [(2.73±0.29) pg/ml vs. (4.15±0.29) pg/ml] was significantly decreased ( P<0.01), and the protein expression of cellular NF-κB (0.95±0.24 vs. 1.16±0.28) was significantly decreased ( P<0.05), the protein expression of MyHC (0.79±0.15 vs. 0.70±0.16) was increased ( P<0.05). Conclusion:SYR could inhibit the inflammatory response induced by LPS, promote the activity of myotubes, and antagonize the damage of LPS to myotube cells.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) pretreatment before total hysterectomy for adenomyosis patients with uterine volume ≥12 gestational weeks and moderate or severe anemia.Methods:From January 2018 to March 2023, 689 patients who underwent total hysterectomy for adenomyosis in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University were retrospectively analyzed. According to the preoperative medication, they were divided into study group (127 cases) and control group (562 cases). Patients in the study group underwent GnRH-a pretreatment for 3 cycles before surgery, and the control group received operation directly. SPSS 26.0 software was used to perform 1∶1 matching for the two groups of patients through the propensity score matching method. Matching variables included age, body mass index, gravidity, parity, history of pelvic and abdominal surgery, menstrual cycle, menstrual period, dysmenorrhea score, initial diagnosis of cancer antigen 125 (CA 125), uterine volume and hemoglobin value. The dysmenorrhea score, uterine volume, hemoglobin value and CA 125 level before and after GnRH-a pretreatment in the study group were compared. And the duration of operation, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative white blood cell count, perioperative blood transfusion cases, postoperative disease rate, duration of hospitalization, total hospitalization cost between the two groups were compared. Results:With propensity score matching, 119 patients in the study group and 119 patients in the control group were finally enrolled in this study. In the study group, before and after the treatment with GnRH-a, the dysmenorrhea score (7.4±1.7 vs 5.6±1.8), uterine volume [(362±160) vs (233±126) cm 3], hemoglobin value [(74.1±10.7) vs (102.5±13.5) g/L], and CA 125 level [(104±76) vs (64±51) kU/L] were statistically different (all P<0.05). There were statistical differences of operation time [(86±18) vs (116±31) minutes], intraoperative blood loss [(24±9) vs (43±22) ml], white blood cell count after 1 day of operation [(9.80±0.10)×10 9/L vs (9.90±0.10)×10 9/L], number of perioperative blood transfusion case [5.9% (7/119) vs 61.3% (73/119)], postoperative disease rate [5.0% (6/119) vs 16.0% (19/119)], hospitalization duration [(7.1±1.6) vs (7.9±1.6) days], and total hospitalization cost [(35 323±5 275) vs (37 159±5 640) yuan] between the study group and the control group (all P<0.05). Conclusion:The pretreatment of using GnRH-a before total hysterectomy for adenomyosis patients with uterine volume ≥12 gestational weeks and moderate or severe anemia is not only conducive to improving dysmenorrhea, signs of anemia, reducing uterine volume, but also conducive to the implementation of surgery, reducing intraoperative and postoperative complications, and reducing hospital costs.

Objective:To systematically evaluate the application effect of somatosensory interactive games in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in order to provide a basis for clinical application.Methods:Randomized controlled trials and quasi-experimental studies on the application of somatosensory interactive games in patients with COPD were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, Wanfang, China Knowledge Network and VIP. The retrieval time limit is from the establishment of the database to October 2022. RevMan5.2 software was used for Meta analysis.Results:Ten articles involving 611 patients were included. The results of Meta-analysis showed that the somatosensory interactive game group was superior to the conventional training group in improving FEV 1/FVC% ( WMD=6.83, 95% CI 3.71-9.95, Z=4.29, P<0.01), 6-minute walking distance (6MWD) ( WMD=13.36, 95% CI 0.50-26.23, Z=2.04, P<0.05), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale ( WMD=-1.64, 95% CI -2.31--0.97, Z=4.78, P<0.01), COPD Assessment Test score ( WMD=-2.95, 95%CI -4.08--1.82, Z=5.13, P<0.01) in COPD patients. However, there was no significant difference in FEV1 % ( WMD=2.91, 95% CI -1.61-7.43, P=0.210) and dyspnea ( SMD=0.63,95% CI -0.24-1.49, P=0.150) between the two groups. Conclusions:Compared with conventional training, somatosensory interactive game training can effectively improve lung function and quality of life in patients with COPD, relieve anxiety and depression. Due to the limited quantity and quality of the included literature, the reliability of the conclusions still needs to be verified by more high-quality studies.
