Objective To study the expression pattern of RYK in the pathway of developmental corticospinal tract projection and provide hints for further study on RYK's function involved in this processes.Methods By In situ and immuno-fluorescence histochemistry,we examined the RYK expression pattern in the developmental murine motor cortex and the projection of corticospinal tract at various time points of E14.5、 E16、E18.5 and postnatal P3、 P5、P7.Results The motor cortex the RYK expression started at E18.5 stage and enhanced gradually at P0 stage.Moreover from P0 to P5 stage the RYK expression also appeared in the pathway of developmental corticospinal tract and decreased gradually after that.Conclusion RYK's expression is closely related to the corticospinal tract projection during its development stage.

Objective To investigate the relationship of plasma fibrinogen (FIB) and non-highdensity lipoprotein cholesterol (non-HDL-C) with diabetic nephropathy in the elderly with type 2 diabetes. Methods Totally 152 patients (aged 60 years and over) with type 2 diabetics were divided into normal albuminuria (UAER＜30 mg/24 h,n=89) and abnormal albuminuria (UAER≥ 30 mg/24 h,n=63) groups,with high FIB (＞4.00 g/L,n=88) and normal FTB (2.00-4.00 g/L,n=64)sub-groups.The body mass index (BMI),systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),postprandial blood glucose (2 hPG),glycated hemoglobin (HbAlc),serum triglyceride (TG),total cholesterol (TC),high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C),FIB and 24-hour urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER) were measured.The non-HDL-C and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were calculated. Results Compared with normal albuminuria group,the values of age,hypertension rate,SBP,Scr and FIB in abnormal albuminuria group were increased [(74.6 ± 7.3) years,57 cases (90.5％),(146.8±23.2)mm Hg,(1.010.7)μmol/L,(4.8±1.5)g/Lvs.(71.6±7.2)years,59 cases (66.3％),(137.7±19.2) mm Hg,(0.8±0.3)μmol/L,(4.2±1.3)g/L,t=-2.536,-2.656,- 2.474,-2.857,x2 =11.936,all P＜0.05] while eGFR was significantly decreased [(68.5±31.2)ml · min-1 · 1.73 m-2 vs.(81.4±25.9)ml · min-1 · 1.73m-2,t=2.791,P＜0.05].The number of patients with high FIB was enhanced in abnormal albuminuria group than normal albuminuria group[45 cases (71.4％) vs. 18 cases (28.6％),x2 =8.085,P=0.004]. The proportion of abnormal albuminuria in high FIB group was lower than that in normal FIB group [(62.6±30.5) ml· min-1 · 1.73 m-2 vs.(83.2±28.7) ml· min-1 · 1.73 m 2,t=2.459,P=0.017].The Pearson analysis revealed that UAER was positively correlated with FIB,TG,TC and non-HDL-C (r=0.276,0.268,0.243,0.176,all P＜0.05).Stepwise regressive analysis showed that FIB was an independent risk factors of urinary albumin in the elderly with type 2 diabetes.Conclusions Higher levels of FIB and non-HDL-C are well correlated with diabetic nephropathy in the elderly with type 2 diabetes.

Objective: To examine the association between serum vitamin D level and thyroid function indicators among elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), so as to provide the evidence for the prevention and treatment of thyroid function abnormality among elderly patients with T2DM. Methods: Inpatients aged 60 years and older and admitted to the department of endocrinology of Zhejiang Hospital were selected as the study subjects. Gender, age, course of disease and other basic information were collected through questionnaire surveys. The serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25-(OH) D], thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), total triiodothyronine (TT3), and total thyroxine (TT4) were measured. The correlation between serum vitamin D level and thyroid function indicators in elderly patients with T2DM was evaluated by a multiple linear regression model. Results: A total of 402 elderly patients with T2DM were surveyed, including 210 males (52.24%) and 192 females (47.76%), and had a median age of 70.00 (interquartile range, 12.00) years and a median course of disease of 14.00 (interquartile range, 14.00) years. There were 162 patients with insufficiency of vitamin D (40.30%) and 182 patients with deficiency (45.27%). The levels of TSH and glycated hemoglobin in the vitamin D deficiency group were (2.34±1.66) μIU/mL and (8.83±2.14) %, respectively, which were higher than those in the normal group [(1.74±1.10) μIU/mL and (8.11±1.75) %; P<0.05]. The levels of FT3 and FT3/FT4 in the vitamin D deficiency group were (2.86±0.48) μIU/mL and 2.85±0.71, respectively, which were lower than those in the vitamin D insufficiency group [(3.09±0.47) pg/mL and 3.14±0.81, P<0.05]. Multiple linear regression analysis showed a negative correlation between 25- (OH) D and TSH (β'=-0.159, P=0.001). Conclusion The vitamin D deficiency may be associated with the increase of TSH level among the elderly patients with T2DM.

Objective:To study whether cisplatin may induce apoptosis in the pericytes of cochlear stria vascularis and underlying mechanisms.Methods:Twenty male C57BL/6J mice aged 6-8 weeks were divided into control group and a cisplatin group. Primary cultured mouse cochlear vascular peristriatal cells were identified and divided into control group, cisplatin group, and N-acetylcysteine+cisplatin group. Auditory brainstem response (ABR) was used to detect hearing in mice. Hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining was used to observe morphological changes in the stria vascularis of the cochlea. The total superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity test kit (WST-1 method) and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) method were used to detect SOD activity and Malondialdehyde (MDA) content, respectively. DCFH-DA fluorescence probe was used to detect the content of reactive oxygen species in peripheral cells. Hoechst 33 342 and flow cytometry were used to detect the apoptosis rate of pericytes. Immunofluorescence technology was used to detect the distribution and expression of apoptosis related proteins in pericytes of cochlear stria vascularis. Immunohistochemistry and Western blotting (WB) were used to detect the expression of apoptosis-and mitochondrial-related proteins. Mito SOX TM-red and JC-1 were used to detect the mitochondrial function of pericytes. Evans blue staining was used to observe the permeability of the blood labyrinth barrier (BLB). Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 18.0 software. Results:Compared with the control group, the cisplatin group significantly increased in the hearing threshold ( t=4.72, P<0.01), Ⅰ-wave latency ( t=12.25, P<0.05), and the levels of oxidative stress in the cochlea and pericytes ( t=38.34, P<0.01), and also cisplatin caused disorder and contraction of the cochlear stria vascularis structure, increased BLB permeability [Evans blue leakage (1.08±0.42) AU vs (0.55±0.23) AU, t=4.64, P<0.05], with a statistically significant difference, enhanced the expressions of apoptotic proteins c-Caspase-3 ( t=5.01, P<0.01) and Bax ( t=6.33, P<0.01) in the peristriatal cells of cochlear blood vessels in mice treated with cisplatin increased. And cisplatin can induce apoptosis of primary cultured pericytes and up-regulate the expression of c-Caspase-3 and Bax ( P<0.05). The NAC+cisplatin group partially reversed cisplatin-induced pericyte apoptosis ( P<0.05). Cisplatin caused damage to the mitochondrial function of peripheral cells, and induced the release of apoptosis-inducing factor (AIF) and cytochrome C (cyt-c) into the cytoplasm ( P<0.05). The NAC+cisplatin group partially reversed cisplatin induced pericyte apoptosis ( P<0.05) and mitochondrial damage ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Cisplatin can increase the level of oxidative stress in the cochlea and cause mitochondrial pathway apoptosis in C57BL/6J mouse cochlear vascular peristriatal cells.

This study proposed the use of the minimum slip force as an indicator to measure the clamping ability of microsurgical forceps.By analyzing the minimum slip forces of four typical tooth types of microsurgical forceps,the clamping capacity of each type was evaluated.Among the existing tooth forms,the staggered tooth type exhibited a relatively large minimum slip force.Consequently,a new tooth-shaped structure for microsurgical forceps-the hemispherical convex structure was proposed.Simulation and experimental studies demonstrated that this new dental structure could achieve stable and reliable clamping.

Objective:To explore the progress of microcirculation research in shock and sepsis from 2000 to 2019 based on knowledge visualization analysis.Methods:The literatures related to microcirculation of shock and sepsis published in Web of Science and Wanfang databases were collected from 2000 to 2019. Then, data collected was sorted out and used to make bar charts and curves reflecting the growth trend of the literatures using Excel software. The information about country, institution and author were extracted by CiteSpace 5.0 R1 for generating co-occurring network, to find the main research power and each cooperative relation. This software was also used to analyze the related-keywords and cited reference, so that the map of co-citation reference was drawn subsequently to explore the frontiers and hot spots in this field.Results:There were a total of 2 000 Chinese "papers" or "dissertations", 1 823 English "articles" or "reviews", collected preliminarily. The Chinese literatures were only statistically described for the amounts, institutions and authors, however, all retrieved English literatures were enrolled in the visualization analysis eventually. From 2009 to 2019, the number of English literatures rose steadily; however, the number of Chinese literatures had been sliding since 2011. On terms of quality, the impact factors of most literatures were under 6, lacking high quality ones, and the number remained stable every year. According to the analysis of English literatures, the top three countries that published related papers around the world were Germany ( n = 430), the United States ( n = 401) and Netherlands ( n = 223). In the aspect of research institutions, the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands) ranked first in the Web of Science ( n = 113), while the institution in China with the most publications was the Southern Medical University ( n = 71). According to the analysis of co-occurring author network, there were three major globe scientific groups in which Can Ince, Daniel De Backer and Jean-Louis Vincent contributed most to this research field. The top three authors who published most Chinese papers were Niu Chunyu ( n = 20), Zhao Zigang ( n = 18) and Duan Meili ( n = 13). By generating the co-occurring keyword mapping, the research hot spots mainly focused on "blood flow", "nitric oxide", "hemorrhagic shock" and "perfusion". However, these burst keywords, including "cardiogenic shock", "acute kidney injury", "fluid resuscitation", "sublingual microcirculation", "mortality", "oxidative stress", and "critically ill patient", represented the frontiers in microcirculation research of shock and sepsis field. Finally, the results of co-citation reference analysis showed that "sublingual microcirculation" and "mottling score" were most active, indicating that the research of microcirculation monitoring technology could be considered as a hot spot and also the frontier in this field, which was consistent with the results of co-occurring keywords network. Conclusions:Knowledge visualization analysis can visually exhibit the hot spot and trend of microcirculation research in shock and sepsis. The power was mainly focused on a few developed countries in Europe, and the trend was more inclined to the related microcirculation monitoring technology.
