Objective:To investigate the effects of Xiaoyu-Jiangzhi capsules on blood lipid, carotid artery atherosclerosis (CAA) and plaque in apolipoprotein E knockout (ApoE -/-) mice. Methods:The ApoE -/- mice were fed with high-fat food to establish carotid atherosclerosis model. The ApoE -/- mice were randomly by weight divided into model group, Atorvastatin group, low- and high-dose Xiaoyu-Jiangzhi capsules group. The C57BL/6cnc mice were used as control group and fed with normal diet. The Atorvastatin group was given atorvastatin suspension 1.3 mg/kg, low and high dose groups were given Xiaoyu-Jiangzhi capsule suspension 325 and 975 mg/kg, and the control group and model group were given equal volume of distilled water. The mice were gavaged with 0.1 ml/10 g body weight, once a day, and the weight of mice was recorded weekly. After 12 weeks of continuous intragastric administration, the blood lipid and liver /body weight index of the mice were measured. Carotid arteries were sliced to conduct oil red O staining and VG staining for the pathological analysis. Results:After 12 weeks of drug administration, the weight of mice in the high-dose group was significantly lower than the model group. The level of TC (25.92 ± 4.21 mmol/L vs. 30.39 ± 4.67 mmol/L) and LDL-C (7.97 ± 2.14 mmol/L vs. 10.26 ± 1.97 mmol/L) in the high-dose group significantly decreased ( P<0.05), the level of HDL-C in the low and high-dose group significantly increased ( P<0.05). The pathological results showed that after 12 weeks of administration, the carotid artery lipid deposition blockage rate in the Atorvastatin group and the high dose group were significantly smaller than the model group( P<0.05), and no vascular plaque has been formed. Conclusion:The Xiaoyu-Jiangzhi capsules could reduce LDL-C, increase HDL-C levels, reduce the constriction of arterial stenosis and slow down the formation process of carotid plaque.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of combination of toy and cartoon video-assisted admission in preventing agitation during recovery from general anesthesia in preschool children.Methods:Totally 96 children who undergoing elective surgery from July 2018 to October 2019 in Guangzhou Women and Children′s Medical Center were divided into experimental group ( n=48) and control group ( n=48). Two groups were admitted to the general preoperative waiting room for 60 minutes before the operation, and children in the experimental group recieved toy and cartoon video combination intervention, while children in the control group were subjected to routine nursing intervention. The children′s agitation was assessed by using Pediatric Anesthesia Emergence Delirium Scale (PAED) when children entered the post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), 10 minutes after in PACU and leave PACU. In addition, the vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate of the two groups were also recorded. Results:The emergence time and duration of PACU stay in the experimental group were (17.19±1.76) minutes and (22.47±2.36) minutes, significantly shortern than in the control group (18.36±2.19) minutes and (23.82±2.62) minutes, the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 2.760, 2.546, P<0.05). 10 minutes after in PACU and out of PACU, the PAED scores, systolic pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate was [7.56±1.86, 4.60±1.19, (108.12±10.19)mmHg, (102.72±8.55) mmHg, (112.91±6.10) times/minute, (106.39±6.75) times/minute, (18.87±1.98) times/minute, (17.49±1.68) times/minute], significantly lower than those in the control group [13.40±1.47, 6.71±2.21, (116.73±14.17)mmHg, (107.62±12.44) mmHg, (121.07±8.07) times/minute, (114.69±5.78) times/minute, (20.96±1.86) times/minute, (18.47±1.63) times/minute], the difference was statistically significant ( t values were 2.162-16.332, P<0.05). Conclusion:Toy and cartoon video combine-assisted admission can reduce the agitation and stable vital signs during recovery from general anesthesia in preschool children.

In the previous study, a high-throughput screening method was established to find the antagonists of CD36. In the present study, a new compound named IMB-1680 was found using this method. The anti-atherosclerotic activities of IMB-1680 were then evaluated. Dose-dependent activities of IMB-1680 were detected by using Sf9 [hCD36] and CHO [hCD36] models. Fluorescence microscopic photography and flow cytometry were used to analyze uptake of mLDL. Foam cell test with RAW264.7 macrophages was used to examine lipid accumulation. The results showed that IMB-1680 inhibited CD36 activity with IC50 of 2.80 and 8.79 micromol x L(-1) in Sf9[hCD36] and CHO [hCD36] cells, respectively. Fluorescence microscopic photography and flow cytometry revealed that IMB-1680 could significantly reduce DiI-AcLDL uptake. Meanwhile, IMB-1680 also could reduce lipids accumulation in RAW264.7 macrophages. In all, the data indicated that IMB-1680 might be a potent effective anti-atherosclerotic leading compound.

Objective To compare the analgesic effect ofHuamoyan Keli(HMYKL) between Kunming mice and BALB/c mice.Methods Eighty Kunming mice and eighty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into five groups, respectively: a control group, a ibuprofen group, a HMYKL high-dose group(13.98 g crude dru g/kg), HMYKL middle-dose group(6.99 g crude drug/kg)and a HMYKL low-dose group(3.50 g crude dru g/kg). There were 16 mice in each group with 8 male mice and 8 female mice. Drugs were administered intragastrically daily for 5 days. After 1 h of drug treatment on day 4, the latency of tail-flick response was evaluated using illuminated pain measurement instrument. After the last drug treatment, pain model was established by i.p. acetic acid, writhing latency and writhing times were recorded to evaluate the analgesic effect of HMYKL.Results In tail-flick test, there was no statistical difference among male and female Kunming mice in the HMYKL groups. Among male BALB/c mice, the latency in HMYKL middle-dose group was significantly longer than that in the control group(4.84±1.16 minvs. 3.93±0.76 min,P<0.05). In writhing test, compared with control group(19.06±6.34), the writhing times among BALB/c mice were decreased in HMYKL high-dose group(8.56±6.19), HMYKL middle-dose group(5.73±3.17), HMYKL low-dose group(6.88±4.59)(allP<0.01).Conclusion All dose groups of HMYKL showed good analgesic effect on the pain induced by chemical stimulation and there was no sex difference. Kunming mice were not suitable for the evaluation of the analgesic pharmacodynamics because of their large individual difference. On contrast, BALB/c mice which had less individual difference could be used to produce the model of pain.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression characteristics of human beta-defensin-2 (HBD-2) mRNA and protein in salivary gland benign and malignant tumor tissues, as well as in salivary gland inflammation.

METHODSThe expression of HBD-2 in salivary gland benign tumor, salivary gland cancer, inflammation tissues and normal salivary gland tissues were detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), real-time polymerase chain reaction (Real-Time PCR) and immunohistochemical. The differences expression of HBD-2 mRNA and protein were analyzed.

RESULTSRT-PCR results showed that HBD-2 mRNA expression in salivary gland benign tumors, salivary gland cancer, and inflammation tissues was 6.468-, 0.334-, and 10.563-fold higher than that in normal tissues, respectively (P < 0.05). HBD-2 was expressed in the nuclei of these organs and malignant tissues.

CONCLUSIONHBD-2 mRNA and protein expressions are significantly increased in salivary gland benign tumor tissues and inflammation tissues compared with those in normal salivary gland tissues, but are significantly decreased in salivary gland cancer. The protein nuclear transfer in salivary gland cancer tissues is also significantly increased.

Ninety six female patients with chronic renal failure were randomly allocated into combination group (n =48) and control group (n =48).In combination group patients received both kidney transplantation and hematopoietic stem cell infusion,in control group patients underwent kidney transplantation only.The results showed that chronic rejection in the combination group was lower than that in the control group [2％(1/48)vs.17％ (8/48),P＜0.05)].The 1-,3-,5-and 10 y-survival rates of kidney in the combination group were 98％ (47/48),94％ (45/48),83％ (34/41) and 9/17,respectively,those in control group were 98％ (47/48),90％ (43/48),76％ (31/41) and 7/17,respectively.Infusion of donor hematopoietic stem cells can augment chimerism in early postoperative period and significantly reduce the rate of graft rejection,which is beneficial for the quality of life of the recipients.

DECIDE-Diet trial was taken as a case to introduce the methods of blinding and blinding assessment for feeding trials, report the details of blinding, conduct a blinding survey and calculate Jame's BI and Bang's BI. Jame's BI was 0.683 (95% CI: 0.593~0.772). The Bang's BI for the intervention group was 0.340 (95% CI: 0.199~0.481), and for the control group was 0.086 (95% CI: -0.060~0.231). The blinding of the DECIDE)-Diet was generally successful, but the intervention group may infer their group to a certain extent. Feeding trials should report the details of blinding and consider blinding assessment.
