Objective To study the effect of early enteral nutrition on stress ulcer in patients with severe craniocerebral injury.Methods 134 patients with severe craniocerebral injury were randomly divided into two groups,the early enteral nutrition group (the EEN group,69 cases) was given nasogastric intubation feeding after hospitalization or within 24 hours postoperation,the delayed enteral nutrition group (the DEN group,65 cases) was given nasogastric intubation feeding 24 hours postoperation.The incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in two groups were compared.Results The incidence of upper gastrointestinal bleeding in the EEN group was significantly lower than that of the DEN group.Conclusions Patients with severe brain injury should be given enteral nutrition as soon as possible to reduce the occurrence of stress ulcer and prevent upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Objective To optimize preparation process of Zushima Gel Cream. Methods The comprehensive evaluation set sensory evaluation, initial adhesive force, viscous force, and peeling strength score as indexes. The mixing time, refining temperature, mixing speed, and powder adding sequence were investigation factors. Orthogonal experiment was used to optimize forming process. Results Conditions of optimized preparation process were as following: add Zushima powder in Viscomate NP-700 and glycerol; mixing time was 5 min; refining temperature was 40 ℃; mixing speed was 100 r/min. Conclusion The preparation process is good and optimized Zushima Gel Cream has a good adhesive force, good glossiness and excipients. The preparation process is good.

OBJECTIVE: To optimize the extraction technology of osthole from the pine needles of Cedrus deodara. METHODS: HPLC method was adopted to determine the content of osthole. Based on single factor test, ethanol volume fraction, extraction time and material-solvent ratio were selected as influential factors, and the content of osthole was selected as response value. Box-Behnken design-response surface methodology was used to optimize the extraction technology of osthole in pine needles of C. deodara. Validation test was conducted. RESULTS: The optimal extraction technology was as follows as ethanol volume fraction of 88%, material-solvent ratio of 1 ∶ 20 (g/mL), extracting for 2 times, lasting for 57 min each time. Under this technology, average content of osthole was 0.675 7 mg/g (RSD=1.78%, n=3), and the relative error of which to predicted value 0.680 9 mg/g was 0.59%. CONCLUSIONS: The optimal extraction technology is simple and feasible,and it can be used for the extraction of osthole from the pine needles of C. deodara.

Objective :
To explore the role of lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 3(LPCAT3) in Erastin-induced ferroptosis of acute myeloid leukemia(AML) cells and its related molecular regulatory mechanisms.
Methods :
Tetrazolium salt(MTS) method was used to detect the sensitivity of different AML cells to the classic ferroptosis inducer Erastin, real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qPCR) was used to detect the basal expression level ofLPCAT3mRNA, and the correlation between them was analyzed. Lentivirus-mediatedLPCAT3overexpression AML cell lines(OE group) and negative control lines(NC group) were constructed. After Erastin intervention, MTS, flow cytometry, and micromethods were used to detect cell viability, lipid reactive oxygen species(ROS), and Malondialdehyde(MDA), respectively. qPCR and Western blot were used to detect unfolded protein response(UPR) classic pathway signaling molecules(PERK, ATF4, GRP78, etc.) expression levels. The above ferroptosis-related indicators were detected after combined intervention with the UPR inhibitor 4-phenylbutyric acid(4-PBA), and the regulatory relationship was analyzed.
Results :
Four different types of AML cells had different sensitivities to ferroptosis, among which K562 cells were relatively insensitive. The IC50of the four types of AML cells to Erastin was negatively correlated with the expression level ofLPCAT3(r=-0.919,P<0.001). After Erastin intervention, the cell viability of K562 cells in the OE group was significantly inhibited by Erastin compared with the NC group(P<0.001), and the levels of lipid ROS and MDA increased(P<0.001). The results of qPCR and Western blot showed that, compared with the NC group, the mRNA and protein expression of UPR classic pathway moleculesPERK,ATF4, andGRP78mRNA and protein increased in the OE group(P<0.01). After inhibiting the UPR pathway by 4-PBA, the viability of K562 cells decreased(P<0.01), and lipid ROS and MDA levels increased(P<0.01) compared with the uninhibited state.
Conclusion
Overexpression ofLPCAT3can promote ferroptosis in K562 cells, and this process is negatively regulated by the classical UPR pathway PERK/ATF.
