Aim Using chronic pre-pregnancy stress to establish a postpartum depression animal model, given a single YG,and acute ketamine was served as control, to explore the pathology of PPD and the anti-depressive mechanism of the YG on the PPD model on AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Methods Thirty-two fe-male Balb / c were randomly assigned to two groups, the control group ( Control, Con) and the pre-pregnancy stressed group(Model,Mod) , which was subjected to 3 weeks chronic restraint stress. After the last stressor, the pre-pregnancy stressed group was housed with a male. After about 4 weeks later, the mice gave birth to pups. Then at 3 weeks postpartum, we tested the ma-ternal tail suspension test ( TST). Both YG and Ket-amine was single administered 24 hours before behavior test, with single saline for control group and PPD mod-el group. After TST,the mouse hippocampus were ex-tracted to detect the expression of AKT and mTOR. Results After 3 weeks postpartum, the model mice showed depression-like behaviors. Immobility in TST was significantly increased in vehicle groups(P <0. 01). Acute YG improved performance in the TST (P< 0. 01), which was similar to ketamine. And the PPD model mice group showed decreased phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR (P < 0. 01,P < 0. 01), compared to control group. A single dose of YG or ketamine normal-ized AKT/ mTOR signaling in the PPD model mice(P< 0. 01,P < 0. 01),( P < 0. 01,P < 0. 01). Conclu-sions Chronic pre-pregnancy stress can induce dams into postpartum depression and its mechanism maybe associated with down-regulating AKT/ mTOR signa-ling. Acute YG exerts fast antidepressant effect on this PPD model similar to ketamine, and its mechanism may be related to up-regulating AKT/ mTOR signaling in the hippocampus.

Objective:To explore the clinical application value of limb remote ischemic postconditioning (LRIPC) in patients with acute cerebral infarction after recanalization.Methods:A total of 78 patients with acute cerebral infarction admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Shantou University Medical College from June 2017 to March 2019 were selected. According to the random number table method, they were divided into the observation group with 39 cases (LRIPC + conventional medical treatment) and the control group with 39 cases (conventional medical treatment). The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment scale (MoCA) scores, the changes of cerebral blood perfusion, cerebral infarction volume and the levels of nerve function indexes before and after the treatment were compared and analyzed.Results:After the treatment, the NIHSS scores in the observation group were lower than thosein the control group, and the MoCA scores were higher than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After the treatment, the mean transit time of cerebral blood flow in the observation group was shorter than that in the control group, while the regional cerebral blood flow and regional cerebral blood volume were higher than those in the control group, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). After the treatment, the volume of cerebral infarction in the observation group was lower than that in the control group ( P<0.05). After the treatment, the levels of matrix metalloproteinase 9 and S-100B protein in the observation group were lower than those in the control group: (142.45 ± 36.23) mg/L vs. (176.89 ± 42.63) mg/L, (2.52 ± 0.46) μg/L vs. (3.61 ± 0.75) μg/L; and the level of nerve growth factor was higher than that in the control group: (143.49 ± 10.58) μg/L vs. (124.96 ± 13.62) μg/L, the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:LRIPC can improve the nerve functions, cognitive functions andreduce the volume of cerebral infarction by improving cerebral blood flow. It also has a good effect on alleviating the neurological functional impairment after vascular recanalization.

OBJECTIVEChronic hypoxia at high altitude might result in cardiopulmonary adaptations including pulmonary arterial hypertension and cardiac remodeling. But little is known about the adaptive changes in healthy children born and living at high altitude. We compared the echocardiographic measurements between the healthy children living at 16 m (Shanghai, n = 220) and 3 700 m (Qinghai, total 257, Han children 117, Tibetan children 140).
METHODSChildren's age ranged from 15 d to 14 years. Echocardiography measurements were performed, values of the left and right ventricular dimensions and wall thickness, systolic and diastolic function including cardiac output index (CI), as well as mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) were obtained.
RESULTSmPAP and right heart dimension, CI, right ventricular anterior wall thickness were significantly higher while ventricular systolic and diastolic function were significantly lower in 3 700 m group than in 16 m group (all P < 0.05). Left ventricular dimension was similar between the two groups. There were no differences on above measured parameters between the Han and Tibetan children from 3 700 m group (all P > 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSChildren born and living at high altitude in China have significantly higher mPAP, dilated right heart and lower systolic and diastolic function of both ventricles and higher CI compared to children born and living at see-level. Above parameters were similar between the Han and the Tibetan childen born and living at high altitude. Present study provides reference values for the healthy children living at high altitude.

Objective :
To explore the effect of miRNA-222-3p in endothelial progenitor cell-derived exosomes (EPCs-Exo) on skin wound healing in diabetic mice.
Methods :
Endothelial progenitor cell ( EPCs) derived from C57BL /6 mouse bone marrow were identified by fluorescence staining.Subsequently,EPCs-Exo isolated from the media of EPCs were identified,and high-throughput sequencing of EPCs-Exo miRNA was completed.The skin injury model of diabetic mice was established.According to different groups,the wounds were treated with externally ap- plied phosphate buffer solution ( PBS ) and EPCs-Exo ; Subcutaneous injection of PBS,agomiR-222-3p,and an- tagomiR-222-3p at the edge of the wound was performed continuously for 14 days,and the wound healing rate was observed.Meanwhile,immunofluorescence methods were used to investigate the changes in the expression levels of ROS,CD31,and VEGF in the wound margin tissue before and after treatment.
Results :
EPCs-Exo significantly ac- celerated skin wound healing in diabetic mice,reduced the level of ROS,and increased the expression level of VEGF and CD31 in the wound margin tissue (P<0. 05) .High-throughput sequencing showed that miRNA-222-3p was highly expressed in EPCs-Exo.Local subcutaneous injection of miRNA-222-3p into wound margin tissue signifi- cantly promoted the skin wound healing of diabetic mice,reduced the level of ROS,and increased the expression level of VEGF and CD31 in the wound margin tissue (P <0. 05) .
Conclusion
MiRNA-222-3p promotes wound healing in diabetic mice and plays an important role in EPCs-Exo promoting wound healing.
