Objective:To investigate the effect of miR-150 gene deletion on the breeding and hematologic parameters of mice. Methods:The nest litter size,wean rate and weight changes of miR-150 knock out (miR-150ko) and C57BL/6J mice were com-pared. The hematology indexes were analyzed by automated blood cell counter, the serum biochemical parameters were analyzed by automatic biochemical analyzer. Results:The nest litter size and wean rate of miR-150ko mice were significantly decreased compared with that of C57BL/6J mice. The number of total white blood cells,intermediate cells,neutrophils,and the percentage of neutrophils and intermediate cells were significantly increased in miR-150ko mice compared with that of C57BL/6J mice. However,the number and per-centage of platelets and lymphocytes decreased significantly in miR-150ko mice. In addition,the levels of serum glucose and TC were in-creased significantly in miR-150ko mice compared with that of C57BL/6J mice. Conclusion: miR-150 gene deletion impairs the breeding and has complex impact on hematologic parameters of mice.

AIM and METHODS: A study of radioimmunoimaging was carried out on Kcnming mice - uterine cervical cancer (U14) using 99mTc labeled monoclonal Au14-1 with a modified Schwartaz method. RESULTS: The bio - distribution showed that radioactivity accumulated in tumor tissue at 12h after 99mTc - Au14- 1 injection in tail vein. The uptake by tumor was 4. 12 % ID/g at 2h and 8. 79 % ID/g at 24h respectively. The tumor/non - tumor (T/NT) radiocativity ratios for organs except kidneys were ranged from 2.02 to 6.71 at 24h post - injection. The image of tumor showed at 12h and clearer at 24h after injection. CONCLUSION: The quality of tumor image was relevant to the T/NT radioactivity ratios. It was demonstrated that 99mTc- Au14-1 has a good capability of localization for tumor.

Objective To study the effects of Danggui-Chuanxiong herb pair medicine on vasoactive substances,adhesion factors,inflammatory factors,and VEGF-PI3K-AKT/NF-κB signaling pathways,in order to elucidate the mechanism of Danggui-Chuanxiong herb pair on the treatment of ischemic stroke(IS).Methods The oxygen glucose deprivation/reoxygenation(OGD/R)model of human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC)was constructed,and the cell viability was detected by cell proliferation kit(CCK-8 method)to explore the optimal modeling time of seven components;The release of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)was detected by cytotoxicity kit;The expression of related cytokines was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA);The mRNA expression of key proteins in the signaling pathway was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results Reoxygenation after 6 h of oxygen-glucose deprivation of HUVEC is the best modeling time.High-dose chlorogenic acid group,ferulic acid group,senkyunolide H,low-dose and medium-dose butylidenephthalide group,medium-dose and high-dose senkyunolide A and ligustilide groups significantly decreased LDH leakage rate(P<0.05,P<0.01);The expression of IL-6 in the cells of the partial dose group of chlorogenic acid,caffeic acid,butenylphthalide,senkyunolide H and senkyunolide A was significantly increased,the expression of IL-1 in the cells of the partial dose group of chlorogenic acid,ferulic acid and senkyunolide A was significantly decreased,the expression of VEGF,ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 in the cells of the partial dose group of chlorogenic acid,ferulic acid and senkyunolide H was significantly decreased,the expression of NF-κB in the cells of the partial dose group of chlorogenic acid,ferulic acid,senkyunolide H and ligustilide was significantly decreased,the expression of PAI-1 in the cells of ferulic acid and senkyunolide H partial dose group decreased significantly(P<0.05,P<0.01);The mRNA relative expression levels of ERK,VEGF,NF-κB,VEGFR2 and MMP9 were significantly down-regulated in the cells of chlorogenic acid,ferulic acid,caffeic acid,butylidenephthalide and senkyunolide A partial dose group,while the mRNA relative expression levels of AKT were significantly up-regulated in the cells of senkyunolide H and senkyunolide A partial dose groups(P<0.05,P<0.01).Conclusion The medicinal components of Danggui-Chuanxiong herb pair may play a role in IS by inhibiting the mRNA expression of adhesion factor,inflammatory factor and key protein of VEGF-PI3K-AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway in HUVEC.

ObjectiveTo explore the correlation between general anesthesia and mild cognitive impairment in older adults so as to provide new ideas for early prevention and timely intervention of mild cognitive impairment(MCI). MethodsBased on the baseline survey of the Hubei memory and aging cohort study(2018-2023), the participants completed a thorough neuropsychological assessment and physical examination, and self-reported a history of general anesthesia and surgery. The association of general anesthesia and MCI in the elderly was analyzed using the logistic regression model. In addition, the stratification and interaction analysis of anesthesia history, anesthesia number and physical intellectual exercise were conducted separately. ResultsA total of 5 069 older adults aged 65 and above were included in this study, including 3 692 city dwellers and 1 377 rural people, among whom were 2 584 women (51%). Out of the 1 472 participants with history of general anesthesia, 249 people (17.4%) had MCI. After controlling for confounding factors, there was a 39.6% increased risk of MCI in older adults who underwent general anesthesia [OR=1.396,95%CI(1.169,1.668),P<0.001], suggesting that general anesthesia may be an independent influence on MCI. For the older adults who had one general anesthesia [OR=1.235,95%CI(1.001,1.523),P=0.049], two general anesthesia [OR=1.779,95%CI (1.292,2.450),P<0.001], and three OR more general anesthesia [OR=2.395,95%CI (1.589,3.610),P<0.001], their risks of MCI were increased by 23.5%, 77.9%, and 139.5%, respectively. Compared with the older adults without a history of general anesthesia who did not exercise, the risk of developing MCI was significantly negatively correlated with the exercise group, cognitive exercise group, and combined exercise and cognitive exercise groups (all P<0.001). The risk of developing MCI in the exercise group was 60.2% of that in the no exercise group [OR = 0.602, 95% CI(0.456, 0.795)], the risk in the cognitive exercise group was 42.4% of that in the no exercise group [OR = 0.424, 95% CI(0.294, 0.613)], and the risk in the combined exercise and cognitive exercise group was 27.0% of that in the no exercise group [OR = 0.270, 95% CI (0.208, 0.353)]. In the older adults with a history of general anesthesia, compared with the no exercise group, the risk of developing MCI was significantly negatively correlated with the cognitive exercise group and the combined exercise and cognitive exercise group (all P < 0.05). The risk of developing MCI in the cognitive exercise group was 47.7% of that in the no exercise group [OR=0.477, 95% CI (0.256,0.892)], the risk in the combined exercise and cognitive exercise group was 34.5% of that in the no exercise group [OR=0.345, 95% CI (0.220, 0.540)], while the risk in the exercise-only group did not show a significant difference. ConclusionThe risk of MCI increased significantly in older adults with a history of general anesthesia, and this risk increased with the times of anesthesia. Physical and mental exercise reduces the risk of MCI. it is recommended that older adults with a history of anesthesia incorporate physical and mental exercise into their daily lives to prevent mild cognitive impairment.
