The effects of minimally invasive surgery on the blood-brain barrier (BBB) of 30 patients with cerebral hemorrhage were investigated. Difference of the BBB index and serum MBP concentration were assessed in 15 cases of conservative treatment group and 15 cases of minimally invasive surgery group. The BBB index in minimally invasive surgery group was significantly lower than in conservative treatment group (P<0.05), and the BBB index in the two treatment groups was significantly higher than in control group (P<0.01). Serum MBP concentration in minimally invasive surgery group was significantly lower than in conservative treatment group (P<0.05), and that in the two treatment groups was significantly higher than in control group (P<0.01). It was suggested the permeability of BBB in patients with cerebral hemorrhage was increased, and BBB index and serum MBP concentration in patients with cerebral hemorrhage were increased. Minimally invasive surgery can reduce the lesion of cytotoxicity to BBB and cerebral edema.

Objective We established the animal models of obesity induced by high-fat diet, in order to study the mRNA and protein expression of regulation molecules related with iron metabolism about hepcidin, lipocalin-2 ( LCN2 ) , ferroportin-1 (FPN1) in obese mice’ s liver and the molecular regulation mechanism.Methods C57BL/6J (4 ~6 weeks) mice were randomly divided into control group and obesity model group, each group of ten.The obesity group were fed with a high-fat diet and the control group were given the normal diet for lasting 15 weeks.After we successfully established the obesity animal model, the expression level of hepcidin, LCN2 and FPN1 mRNA in the liver were measured by Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR method and the protein expression level of LCN2 and FPN1 were measured by Western-Blot.Results Compared with the control group, the expression level of hepcidin mRNA in the liver was increased in obesity group (P <0.05), however, the expression level of LCN2, FPN1 was no significant difference (P >0.05).Conclusion Obesity can increase the expression of hepcidin mRNA, however, there was no significantly effect on the expression of LCN2, FPN1.So, we can’t think that obesity can affect the expression of LCN2 and FPN1, lead to the ability of cells uptake and release iron abnormal, then appear iron metabolism disorders.As a result, leading to iron deficiency.Maybe obesity can affect other regulatory molecules related with iron metabolism through up-regulation the expression of Hepcidin or the more complex regulatory mechanisms.We still need further experimental research and exploration.This research also provides the basis of theoretical and experimental for the further study the effects of obesity on the expression of regulation molecules related with iron metabolism in obesity mice’ s liver and the mechanism of iron deficiency.

Methods C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control group and obesity model group, each group of 6, To establish obese mice model by having a high-fat diet and the control group were fed with a normal diet for 12 weeks.After completion of modeling, The level of DMT1 and FPN1 mRNA expression in the duodenum were measured by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR( Real-time PCR) method, the protein expression of FPN1 was measured by Western-Blot. Results Compared with the control group, the level of DMT1、FPN1 mRNA and FPN1 protein expression in the duodenum were decreased significantly in obese mice ( P <0.05 ) .Conclusion Obesity can decrease the expression levels of DMT1、FPN1 mRNA and FPN1 protein and induce iron deficiency,in order to provide experimental and theoretical basis for studying the mechanism of iron deficiency caused by obesity further.

Objective To explore the activity of Elemene for glioma cell from the cellular and molecular level. Methods The human glioma cell U251 was cultured. The effect of Elemene for human glioma cell proliferation was studied by MTT assay. Cell cycle, Fas, PCNA, bcl-2, intracellular Ca~(2+) and apoptosis were evaluated by flow cytometry analysis. Results Elemene exhibited antiproliferative effect on human glioma cell U251 markedly. The fifty percent inhibition on concentration (IC_(50)) of Elemene against glioma cells at different time points. 24 h was 40.60 μg/ml, the 48 h 38.14 μg/ml and the 72 h 34.35 μg/ml.Cell cycle was blocked in the S and G_2/M phases. The apoptosis ratio was increased by Annexin V staining markedly. Elemene decreased the gene expressions of PCNA and Fas, increased the intracellular Ca~(2+). There was no significant effect on the bcl -2 gene expression. Conclusion Elemene exhibits a marked antiproliferative effect on glioma cells and induces apoptosis by decreasing the expression of PCNA and increasing intracellular Ca~(2+). It also influences the expression of Fas. It might have no relationship with bcl-2 gene expression.

Objective To observe effects for exercise and diet on learning and memory ability in mice with encephalon aging induced by D-galactose(D-gal).Methods The model of mice with encephalon aging was made by D-gal.The learning and memory ability of mice was determined by Morris water maze.Results There was significant difference between high fat feed encephalon aging group and restrict food on normal feed encephalon aging group,normal feed and exercise encephalon aging group,high fat feed and exercise encephalon aging group,high fat feed normal group,normal feed and exercise group,normal feed group(all P<0.05).In spatial probe test,there was significant difference between restrict food on normal feed encephalon aging group and normal feed encephalon aging group(all P<0.05).Conclusion Exercise and restrict food can improve the learning and memory function in the mice;feed with high fat can promote encephalon aging.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of high fat diet and caloric restriction on brain aging as well as the activity of Acetylcholinesterase(AChE) and afford scientific evidence to rational diet and prevent brain aging.MethodsSixty male ICR mice were randomly divided into 6 groups: the D-galactose-induced brain aging, brain aging plus high fat diet, brain aging plus caloric restriction, high fat diet only, caloric restriction only and normal control groups. Mice were given 100 mg/kg·d subcutaneous injection of D-galactose to prepare brain aging model for 9 weeks. Morris water maze (MWM) test was employed to determine their spatial learning and memory ability. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in brain was determined by hydroxylaminecolorimetric assay.ResultsIn Morris water maze test, brain aging mice showed a significant longer escape latency than the normal control mice (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in escape latency between brain aging mice plus high fat diet and brain aging mice groups (P>0.05), and between the control and high fat diet groups (P>0.05). Brain aging mice plus caloric restriction exhibited a significant shorter escape latency than brain aging mice (P<0.05), but no difference was found when compared with normal control mice (P>0.05). There were no statistical difference in escape latency between the controls and caloric restriction group (P>0.05). The AChE activity in brain aging, brain aging plus high fat diet and brain aging plus caloric restriction group were higher than those in control and caloric restriction group (P<0.05). There were no statistical difference in AChE activity between the controls and caloric restriction group (P>0.05). Brain aging plus high fat diet were higher than brain aging and other non model control groups.ConclusionHigh fat diet can raise the activity of AChE effectively, but can not influence the capacity of learning and memory in mice. Caloric restriction can improve the capacity of learning and memory in mice, but has no significant influence on the activity of AChE in brain.

Objective To evaluate the implementation feasibility of the nurse performance appraisal and allocation plan based on the holistic nursing mode, and the clinical effect in mobilizing nursing staff's work enthusiasm and ensuring the quality of nursing service. Methods The nurse performance appraisal and allocation plan were further improved based on the previous research of this index system construction. The model were implemented in 32 clinical departments of Yidu Center Hospital of Weifang City. Four aspects data were collected for analysis six months later to evaluate the effect. They were nurses on merit pay distribution satisfaction, patients′satisfaction, doctors′satisfaction with nursing job, different clinical departments′nursing quality scores. Results Six months later, four factor scores of nurses to the satisfaction of merit pay distribution were significantly improved. The scores of fairness and impartiality evaluation of the merit pay distribution, incentive effect evaluation, pay and return on equity evaluation and performance pay gap rationality evaluation were higher than before [(3.39 ±0.64) points vs. (1.88 ±0.33) points, (3.28 ±0.74) points vs. (1.84 ±0.49) points , (3.28 ±0.71) points vs. (1.88 ±0.42) points and (3.38 ±0.67) points vs. (2.01±0.53) points, t=19.28, 16.22, 18.08, 16.79, all P<0.05]. Patients′satisfaction, doctors′satisfaction with nursing job and different clinical department' nursing quality scores were significantly increased as well [(99.14±0.82) points vs. (96.78±0.84) points, (96.59±0.91) points vs. (93.59±1.27) points and(97.67±0.41) points vs. (95.70±1.13) points]. Difference had statistical significance (t=11.79, 11.63, 9.60, P<0.05). Conclusions The performance salary allocation plan can effectively improve the hospital nurses on performance salary allocation satisfaction, patients′satisfaction, doctor′s satisfaction with nursing work and the quality of nursing department, and has good incentive in arousing the work enthusiasm of nursing staff and in ensuring the quality of nursing service.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the predictive value of carotid femoral artery pulse wave velocity (CF-PWV), carotid radial artery pulse wave velocity (CR-PWV), cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), and ankle brachial index (ABI) on coronary heart disease (CHD) and cerebral infarction (CI), and the preliminary validation of Beijing vascular health stratification (BVHS). METHODS: Subjects with at least 2 in-patient records were included into the study between 2010 and 2017 from Vascular Medicine Center of Peking University Shougang Hospital. Subjects with CHD or CI, and without data of vascular function at baseline were excluded. Eventually, 467 subjects free of CHD [cohort 1, mean age: (63.4±12.3) years, female 42.2%] and 658 subjects free of CI [cohort 2, mean age: (64.3±12.2) years, female 48.7%] at baseline were included. The first in-patient records were as the baseline data, the second in-patient records were as a following-up data. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to establish the predictive models of CHD or CI derived from BVHS by multivariable-adjusted analysis. RESULTS: The median follow-up time of cohort 1 and cohort 2 was 1.9 years and 2.1 years, respectively. During the follow-up, 164 first CHD events occurred in cohort 1 and 117 first CI events occurred in cohort 2. Four indicators were assessed as continuous variables simultaneously by multivariable-adjusted analysis. In cohort 1, CF-PWV, CR-PWV, ABI, and CAVI reached statistical significance in the multivariable-adjusted models (P<0.05). In cohort 2, only CAVI (P<0.05) was of statistical significance. In addition, the higher CF-PWV became a protector of CHD or CI (P<0.05). The prediction value of BVHS reached the statistical significance for CHD and CI in the unadjusted models (all P<0.05), however, BVHS could only predict the incidence of CHD (P<0.05), but not the incidence of CI (P>0.05) in the multivariable-adjusted models. CF-PWV, CR-PWV, ABI, and CAVI were associated factors of CHD independent of each other (P<0.05), only CAVI (P<0.05) was the risk factor of CI independent of the other three. CONCLUSION The different vascular indicators might have different effect on CHD or CI. CAVI might be a stable predictor of both CHD and CI. Higher baseline CF-PWV was not necessarily a risk factor of CHD or CI because of proper vascular health management. BVHS was a potential factor for the prediction of CHD, and further research is needed to explore the prediction value for CI.
