Objective:To investigate the effect and mechanism of Fuzheng Jiedu Tongluofang on the expression of MMP-2,MMP-9 and invasion of human hepatoma HepG2 cell.Methods:Hepatioma HepG2 cell was treated with Fuzheng Jiedu Tongluofang.The cell viability was measured by CCK8.The invasion of HepG2 was detected by Transwell assay.The expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 was analyzed by ELISA.Results:In the CCK8 assay,Fuzheng Jiedu Tongluofang could inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells at a density and time measure.In the Transwell assay,the inhibitory rate of invasion was 52.45% when treated with Fuzheng Jiedu Tongluofang at a concentration of 2.65 mg/ml. The ELISA assay indicated that the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 decreased significantly after treated with Fuzheng Jiedu Tongluofang(P<0.05). Conclusion:Fuzheng Jiedu Tongluofang suppressed the invasion of HepG2 with the possible mechanism of down-regulating the expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in HepG2.

Aim To investigate the effect of puerarin on proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells and the expression of TRPM3 mRNA.Methods Proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of puerarin in MC3T3-E1 cells were determined using CCK-8 assay, alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity assay, and Alizarin Red Staining, respectively.Effect of puerarin on cell cycle and intracellular calcium concentration of MC3T3-E1 cells was detected by flow cytometry.RT-PCR was used to detect the effect of puerarin on TRPM3 mRNA expression.Resuls 0.1, 1, 10 μmol·L-1 puerarin significantly promoted the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells, reduced the proportion of cells in G1 phase, increased the proportion of G2 and S phase, of which 0.1 μmol·L-1 concentration effect was the most significant.Compared with control group, the ALP activity and mineralized nodule area of 0.1 μmol·L-1 puerarin group were significantly increased.The expression of TRPM3 mRNA and the intracellular calcium concentration were significantly decreased in 0.1 μmol·L-1 puerarin group.Conclusion Puerarin can promote the proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells, and reduce the expression level of TRPM3 mRNA and intracellular calcium concentration.

To analyze the mortality risk of stroke in China by literature search.The mortality rate of stroke (age standardized) in China has declined in recent years.The mortality rate of stroke which increases with age is higher in rural areas than in urban areas,and is higher in men than in women in China.There are obvious regional differences and seasonal differences in the mortality of stroke in China.Different subtypes of stroke have different death characteristics.Low or high temperatures can increase the risk of mortality of stroke.With the change of epidemiological characteristics,the risk factors of mortality of stroke in China are also changing.Through the epidemiological study of stroke death,the mortality risk of stroke can be researched effectively,the epidemiological characteristics of stroke can be mastered,and the direction of prevention and treatment of stroke can be understood.Individualized and multi factor intervention for unhealthy lifestyle,unhealthy behavior and metabolic cardiovascular risk factors can promote the establishment of stroke prevention and control strategy in China.

Aim Toexaminethecombinedeffectsof 5-ALA and metformin on diabetes mellitus induced by streptozotocin( STZ) in mice, and to discuss the mech-anisminitially.Methods Thediabeticmiceinduced by intraperitoneal injection of STZ were treated with 5-ALA and/or metformin for 30 days. Physical signs, fasting blood glucose ( FBG ) , fasting plasma insulin ( FIns) , plasma leptin ( Lep) , glucose tolerance, and histological changes of liver and pancreas were as-sessed. Insulin resistance was evaluated by the homeo-stasismodelassessment(HOMA).Results There were more significant effects when 5-ALA combined with metformin than only using metformin on lowering FBG, FIns and Lep. And 5-ALA combined with met-formin could improve glucose tolerance and the insulin sensitivity. Microscopic analysis demonstrated that sig-nificant changes in pancreatic islet and characteristic feature of the vacuolization phenotype in liver was ob-served on diabetic mice, and use of 5-ALA could in-hibit shrinking pancreatic islet number and hepatic morphological changes, especially in combination with metformin.Conclusions Asynergisticeffectof5-ALA and metformin is observed. Combined therapy of 5-ALA and metformin can decrease FBG and improve glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity and islet ? cells function and morphology.

Objective:
To analyze the trend of citation index of Chinese Journal of Behavioral Medicine and Brain Sciences(CJBMBS) from 2011 to 2018, and compare to the average level of Chinese Medical Association(CMA) series journals, so as to provide basis for improving academic quality and journal influence.
Methods:
Trend analysis on citation index of CJBMBS from 2011 to 2018 and comparison with the average level of Chinese Medical Association series journals were conducted by Microsoft Excel 2010.
Results:
From 2011 to 2018, the core impact factor(0.849-1.151) and ratio of foundation-supported papers(0.550-0.810) of CJBMBS showed an upward trend, while the core total citation(1 783-2 836) showed a downward trend.The core total citation, core impact factor and ratio of foundation-supported papers of CJBMBS were higher than the average level of CMA series journals(1 355-1 699, 0.497-0.890, 0.335-0.460), but the core other-citation rate was lower than the average level of CMA series journals (0.81-0.85).
Conclusion
The CJBMBS is at a high level among the core journals of Chinese science and technology, and more attention should be paid to the problem of high self-citation rate.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of proximal aortic repair (PAR) versus total arch replacement (TAR) for treatment of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD). Methods An electronic search was conducted for clinical controlled studies on PAR versus TAR for patients with ATAAD published in Medline via PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Wanfang Database and CNKI since their inception up to April 30, 2022. The quality of each study included was assessed by 2 evaluators and the necessary data were extracted. STATA 16 software was used to perform statistical analysis of the available data. Results A total of 28 cohort studies involving 7 923 patients with ATAAD were included in this meta-analysis, of whom 5 710 patients received PAR and 2 213 patients underwent TAR, and 96.43% of the studies (27/28) were rated as high quality. The meta-analysis results showed that: (1) patients who underwent PAR had lower incidences of 30 d mortality [RR=0.62, 95%CI (0.50, 0.77), P<0.001], in-hospital mortality [RR=0.64, 95%CI (0.54, 0.77), P<0.001], and neurologic deficiency after surgery [RR=0.84, 95%CI (0.72, 0.98), P=0.032] than those who received TAR; (2) the cardiopulmonary bypass time [WMD=–52.07, 95%CI (–74.19, –29.94), P<0.001], circulatory arrest time [WMD=–10.14, 95%CI (–15.02, –5.26), P<0.001], and operation time [WMD=–101.68, 95%CI (–178.63, –24.73), P<0.001] were significantly shorter in PAR than those in TAR; (3) there was no statistical difference in mortality after discharge, rate of over 5-year survival, renal failure after surgery and re-intervention, volume of red blood cells transfusion and fresh-frozen plasma transfusion, or hospital stay between two surgical procedures. Conclusion Compared with TAR, PAR has a shorter operation time and lower early and in-hospital mortality, but there is no difference in long-term outcomes or complications between the two procedures for patients with ATAAD.
