Objective To investigate effects of hypertensive agents on regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF)and prognosis in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH). Method Thirty patients withFILCH were divided into group A,B and C according to mean arterial pressure(MAP) with various ranges of <10%, 10 ～ 20%, and > 20%, respectively. Patients of three groups were checked with single photon emissioncomputed tomography (SPECT),and computerized tomography of head successively, 24 hours, 3 ～ 5 days, and 12～ 15 days after admission for the assessment of therapeutic effects. The rtes of the decrease in rCBF compared be-twecn groups were analyzed with t test. Neurologic function defect scale, activities of living scale and number of re-bleeding compared between two groups were analyzed by X2 test, respectively. Results There were statisticallysignificant differences in the rate of the decrease in rCBF. The neurologic function defect scale and activities of liv-ing scale at 24 hours, 3 ～ 5 days, and 12 ～ 15 days after admission compared between group C and group A, andbetween group C and group B showed significant differences ( P < 0.05). There were statistically significant differ-enees in rebleeding during acute phase of HICH between group A and group B or group C (P < 0.05).Conclusions If the systolic blood pressure is above 185mmHg or diastolic blood pressure over 95mmHg,it is ra-tional and safe to lower the MAP by about 15% with hypotensive gents so as to minimize the impact on regionalcerebral blood flow.

Objective To explore the effect of a herbalcompound Gehua Jiejue Dizhi Decoction (GJDD) on the liver fat deposition and the expression of PXR, and the mRNA and protein expression of its target genes CYP3A11 and CYP3A25in the liver tissues of mouse models of alcoholic fatty liver.Methods Twenty-nine healthy male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group (n=5), model group (n=8), high dose GJDD group (n=8)and low dose GJDD group (n=8).The mouse model of alcoholic fatty liver was prepared according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) method.Then, the mice were treated with the high dose and low dose GJDD for 9 days.Serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (AST) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Liver fat deposition was detected by oil red O staining.Real-time RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were performed to examine the expressions of PXR, CYP3A11 and CYP3A25.Results Compared with the model group, the liver fat deposition in the intervention groups was significantly reduced in a dose-dependent manner, with a significant increase of the expression of PXR and CYP3A25 (P < 0.01).The serum ALT level was significantly reduced in the model group (P < 0.01), while the transcriptional levels of CYP3A11 mRNA in the groups were similar (P ≥ 0.05).Conclusions Gehua Jiejue Dizhi Decoction has obvious therapeutic effect on the AFLD in mice, which may be related to the activation of PXR and its target genes CYP3A25.

Objective To discuss the clinical features and treatment measures on patients with medium volume of supratentorial hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage in the elderly.Methods The clinical data of 57 patients with medium volume of supratentorial hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage aged ≥ 70 years were analyzed retrospectively.Results All of 57 patients,15 cases accepted medical treatment,42 cases were treated with minimally invasive operation for 1-26 (4.6 ± 6.5) h after onset.Three cases died in hospital,7 cases were transferred or gave up,6 cases lived as plant,8 cases were severely maimed,11 cases were moderately maimed,22 cases [38.6％(22/57)] recovered favorably.The main clinical characteristics of elderly patients:long history of hypertension,blood pressure fluctuation; atypical symptoms of increased intracranial pressure; more complications such as arrhythmia and pulmonary infection; most of family members of patients were pessimistic to treatment.Conclusions All factors should be thought over about the treatment of elderly patients with medium volume of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage.Individual treatment is reasonable.Do not emphasize on early operation,minimally invasive operation can be helpful for patients.

Objective To investigate the changes of prevalence of hyperuricemia ( HUA) and its correlations with blood glucose and lipid in healthy adults receiving physical examination at Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) from 2012 to 2017. Meth-ods An observational approach was adopted for the data analysis.The test results of uric acid (UA),fasting blood glucose (FBG),to-tal cholesterol (TC),triacylglycerol (TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), creatinine (Cr) and Urea of 399 089 cases (206 881 males and 192 208 females) at PUMCH from January 2012 to December 2017 were collected and statistically analyzed.Results The total prevalence of HUA was 17.4% in which the prevalence of males was signif-icantly higher than that of females (25.6% vs 8.5%,χ2＝20 234.850,P＜0.01).During the years of 2012 to 2017,the prevalence of HUA was 26.5%,24.7%,28.6%,23.9%,24.8% and 24.5% in males,and 13.8%,6.3%,7.9%,6.1%,6.2% and 6.8% in females for each year respectively.The prevalence of HUA in males aged 18 to 64 years old was significantly higher than that in the age-matched fe-males (all P＜0.05).However, the prevalence of HUA in males aged≥65 years old was similar to the age-matched females.There was no statistically significant difference of HUA prevalence between males and females aged ≥65 in 2013,2015,2016 and 2017 ( χ2＝1.792,0.017,1.440 and 0.205 respectively;all P＞0.05).The percentages of hyperlipidemia in both males and females of HUA group were higher than those of non-HUA group respectively (all P＜0.01).The percentage of hyperglycemia in males of non-HUA group was higher than that of HUA group,but the percentage of hyperglycemia in females of non-HUA group was lower than that of HUA group ( all P＜0.01).High levels of TC,TG and FBG were risk factors of HUA with increased OR values in increased concentrations of TC,TG and FBG,respectively.Conclusion During the recent 6 years, in healthy adults receiving physiced examination at PVMCH, the preva-lence of male HUA diagnosed was at overall high level,but the prevalence of female HUA was in decreasing and relatively stable trend. Hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia should be the risk factors of HUA.

A novel technology is proposed for non-contact and real-time detection of atrial fibrillation using millimeter-wave radar.A 60 GHz PCR millimeter wave radar is used to continuously detect the chest echo signal of the subject.After signal acquisition,I-Q signal is generated through I-Q demodulation,and the signal phase information is extracted using effective points phase trend evaluation for obtaining the signals from oscillations in the chest wall,from which the respiratory signals and cardiac signals are extracted through digital filtering for the analysis of cardiac movement.Whether the atrial fibrillation occurs or not is determined by the characteristics of atrial fibrillation wave in the time domain.The effective points phase trend evaluation for extracting more accurate signal phase information and the time-domain method for real-time atrial fibrillation detection are the innovations of the study.The experimental results show that the proposed method achieves a detection accuracy of 99.2%in clinic.

Three hundred and twenty endophytic actinobacterial strains were isolated from psammophytes collected from Taklamakan Desert and identified.Among them,three strains already had been identified as new species of two genera and sixteen isolates showed relatively low 16S rRNA similarities＜98.6％to validly described species.Seventy-five of the isolates were selected as representative strains to screen antibacterial activity and mechanism.Forty-seven strains showed antagonistic activity against at least one of the indicator bacteria.Two Streptomyces strains produced bioactive compounds inducing DNA damage,and two Streptomyces strains produced bioactive compounds with inhibitory activity on protein biosynthesis.Notably,the strain Streptomyces sp.8P21H-1 that demonstrated both strong antibacterial activity and inhibitory activity on protein biosynthesis was prioritized for exploring new antibiotics.Under the strategy of integrating genetics-based discovery program and MS/MS-based molecular networking,two new streptogramin-type antibiotics,i.e.,acetyl-griseoviridin and desulphurizing gri-seoviridin,along with known griseoviridin,were isolated from the culture broth of strain 8P21H-1.Their chemical structures were determined by HR-MS,and 1D and 2D NMR.Desulphurizing griseoviridin and griseoviridin exhibited antibacterial activities by inhibiting translation.

Gastric ''inflammation-cancer'' transformation stars from inflammation and ends as gastric cancer （GC）， and the pathogenesis is still unclear. In China， GC features high morbidity and mortality and poor prognosis， influencing the quality of life and physical and mental health of patients. Therefore， it is of great significance to construct the prevention and treatment system for GC. Chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） plays a key role in the occurrence， development， and outcome of gastric ''inflammation-cancer'' transformation. Modern therapies for CAG generally aim at eliminating causes and alleviating clinical symptoms， which show satisfactory short-term efficacy， but the reverse and recurrence are common. Based on the holistic view， syndrome differentiation-based treatment， and the ''inflammation-cancer'' transformation in modern medicine， traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes both prevention and treatment， with individualized therapies for CAG and GC to control the transformation. According to the pathogenesis of CAG-asthenia in origin and sthenia in superficiality and deficiency-excess in complexity， this study proposed the theory of spleen deficiency and pathogen stagnation in CAG， and believed spleen deficiency， pathogen， and stagnation are respectively the root cause of， the main factor of， and the key to ''inflammation-cancer'' transformation， respectively. Spleen deficiency and pathogen stagnation are closely related to the process of the transformation. For the treatment， the spleen-invigorating and pathogen-eliminating method should be used for invigorating the spleen to consolidate original Qi， improve the blood supply in stomach， and regulate immunity， and eliminating the pathogen to relieve stagnation， reduce the occurrence of non-controllable inflammation， and improve inflammatory micro-environment. As a result， the gastric inflammation is controlled at the early stage and the gastric ''inflammation-cancer'' transformation is blocked. The gastric mucosal lesions are blocked， delayed， or even reversed. This study provides a new idea in clinical diagnosis and treatment of CAG and in the prevention of GC.

Objective To explore the differential gene expression profile and small molecule drugs for chronic atrophic gastritis(CAG)by bioinformatics technology.Methods Two gene expression samples of CAG chips(GSE27411,GSE116312)were obtained through the Gene Expression Synthesis(GEO)database,screen the differentially expressed genes(DEGs)of CAG by R language,and CAG immune-related genes were obtained for gene ontology(GO)and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes(KEGG)analysis.Protein-protein interaction(PPI)network was constructed using STRING database to screen out core genes,further study on immune invasion of core genes based on GSE27411 dataset,small molecular compounds interacting with core genes were predicted,molecular docking was carried out by MOE2022,and survival analysis was carried out by GEPIA2 website.Results A total of 517 DEGs were screened out based on GEO database.GO function enrichment analysis found that it mainly involved in granulocyte chemotaxis、leukocyte chemotaxis and neutrophil chemotaxis biological processes.KEGG pathway enrichment analysis showed that it mainly involved in cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction、nuclear factor kappa B signaling pathway、interleukin-17 signaling pathway.Six key genes of NR1H4、CCK、CCL20、CXCL1、LCN2、SAA1 were obtained by PPI network,through relevant verification,NR1H4 was regarded as the core gene.Immune cell infiltration analysis showed that central memory CD8 T cell、effector memeory CD4 T cell、gamma delta T cell、natural killer T cell、neutrophil and other immune cells may be involved in the development of CAG,and the neutrophil was positively correlated with NR1H4.It was predicted that six small molecular drugs,corilagin,stigmasterol,geniposide,tangeretin,chenodeoxycholic acid and epigallocatechin 3-gallate,have good binding force with NR1H4.Conclusion The potential mechanism of CAG is preliminarily explored in this study,the key gene of NR1H4 and neutrophil may play an important role in the"inflammatory cancer transformation"process of CAG,which can provide a certain reference for the study of the"inflammatory cancer transformation"mechanism of CAG.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of Weiwei Tongtiao decoction （WTD） on chronic atrophic gastritis （CAG） rats and the underlying mechanism. MethodA total of 90 SD rats were randomized into normal control group， model group， high-dose， medium-dose， and low-dose WTD groups （18， 9， 4.5 g·kg^-1·d^-1 WTD， respectively， ig）， and weifuchun control group （0.45 g·kg^-1·d^-1 weifuchun aqueous solution， ig）， with 15 rats in each group. The N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine （MNNG） was employed to induced CAG in rats. After the modeling （identified by histopathological examination）， the administration began and lasted 12 weeks. Then， gastric mucosa tissues of the rats were collected and stained with hematoxylin and eosin （HE）， and the pathological changes of gastric mucosa were observed under the optical microscope. Real-time PCR， immunohistochemistry （IHC）， and Western blotting were applied to examine the mRNA and protein expression of indexes in nuclear factor kappa-B （NF-κB） signaling pathway in the gastric mucosa of rats. ResultCAG rats showed irregular arrangement and morphology of the inherent glands in gastric mucosa and the glands decreased or disappeared. In addition， inflammatory cell infiltration was observed in the lamina propria of CAG rats， and about 48.4% presented intestinal metaplasia. WTD significantly alleviated the reduction of the glands and intestinal metaplasia in a dose-dependent manner. Compared with the normal control group， the model group demonstrated increase in the mRNA expression of cyclooxygenase-2 （COX-2）， NF-κB p65， interleukin （IL）-1α， IL-1β， IL-10， IL-8α， and IL-8β， and protein expression of COX-2， NF-κB p65， and IL-10 （P<0.01）. WTD and weifuchun lowered the mRNA expression of COX-2， NF-κB p65， IL-1α， IL-1β， IL-10， IL-8α， and IL-8β， and the protein expression of COX-2， NF-κB p65， and IL-10 in gastric mucosa of CAG rats （P<0.01）. The expression of the above indexes after the intervention with high-dose WTD was close to that of the normal control group. ConclusionWTD can improve or even reverse the diseased gastric mucosa of CAG rats， and the mechanism is the likelihood that WTD down-regulates the mRNA and protein expression of the indexes in NF-κB signaling pathway in gastric mucosa of CAG rats.
