BACKGROUND: Senility is the degenerative change of every tissue and organ in biological body,which is the result due to comprehensive actions of various pathological and physiological processes. Rhodiola is a kind of natural medical plant,acting on delaying organic senility,preventing and treating senile disorders,etc. But the definite mechanisms on those have been unknown yet.OBJECTIVE: To probe into the mechanism of rhodiola extract( nuodikang capsule) on anti-senility.DESIGN: Randomized,controlled experimental research based on the experimental animals.SETTING: Neurological internal department in a military hospital affiliated to a university of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Pathology Experiment Room of Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from March to August 2002. Sixty Kunming mice were randomized into normal control group,model group,3 dosage groups of 1,2,4 g/kg of nuodikang successively and Vitamin E(Vit. E) positive control group 0. 1 mg/kg,10 mice in each group.INTERVENTIONS: In the model,nuodikang groups and Vit. E positive control,physiological saline solution of D-galactose 30 g/Lwas applied in subcutaneous at the back of neck,150 mg/kg per day,continuously for 8weeks. Simultaneously,in nuodikang group and Vit. E positive control,the medicine was applied by gastric perfusion,once daily,continuously for 8weeks.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Effects of nuodikang capsule on activity of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH),the content of lipidperoxides(LPO),the activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) in the brain,the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and ultrastructure of mitochondrion in hippocampal neurons.RESULTS: In nuodikang capsule groups of 1,2,4 g/kg,the significant differences(P ＜ 0.05) presented in LPO content in brain tissue[(30. 1±2.9),(27.8±3.1),(26.9±1.9) nmol/g] and MDA content [(110.2±13.5),(95.4±20.1),(90.2±16.5) nmol/g],1 compared with the model group[ (33.4 ± 2.2),(126.5 ± 17.2) nmol/g],indicating significant differences(P ＜ 0.05),and LDH activity[(1.74±0. 14),(1.92 ±0. 23),(2.04 ±0.21) NU/g] and SOD activity[ (119. 1 ±2.2),(121.3 ± 0.9),(126.4 ± 2.0) NU/g] were remarkably increased,compared with the model group[ (1.68 ±0. 19),(115.9 ±2. 1) NU/g],indicating significant differences( P ＜ 0.05) . It was indicated by electro-microscope that nuodikang capsule groups of 2,4 g/kg acted on obvious protection on degenerative change of mitochondrion in hippocampal neurons caused by galactose.CONCLUSION: Nuodikang capsule acts significantly on anti-senility,which is related to its anti-oxidative injury and protection on neurons.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the matrix formula of Lanlian ertong qingre cataplasm. METHODS:Taking adhesion force,peel strength and sensory description as index,the ratio of matrix framework material(sodium polyacrylate-gan hydroxyl alu-minum-tartaric acid-glycerin) was optimized with orthogonal test. The single factor test was adopted to select adhesive and filler;the amount of penetrating agent azone was screened using the in vitro penetration amount of phillyrin. RESULTS:The best matrix ratio of Lanlian ertong qingre cataplasm was sodium polyacrylate-gan hydroxyl aluminum-tartaric acid-glycerin(4.0:0.8:0.4:15);PVP K-90 was used as adhesive,and bolus alba as filler;penetration enhancers azone accounted for 2.0%. Validation test showed, prepared cataplasm had good appearance,could stick on the 5th or the 6th ball;it's peel strength was 7.5 N;all RSDs of score were lower than 4%(n=3). CONCLUSIONS:The optimized matrix formula of Lanlian ertong qingre cataplasm is simple,stable and good in molding.

Objective To observe the effect of proximal needling at Tianzhu (BL10) plus electroacupuncture at the Balance Zone on the lower-limb motor function and walking function in cerebral stroke patients.Method A hundred cerebral stroke patients were randomized into a rehabilitation group and a proximal needling group. The rehabilitation group was intervened by balance training and conventional rehabilitation exercises; the proximal needling group was intervened by proximal needling at Tianzhu plus electroacupuncture at the Balance Zone in addition to the treatment given to the rehabilitation group. The interventions weregiven once a day, 5 times a week, successively for 4 weeks. Prior to the intervention and after 4-week treatment, the lower-limb motor function and walking function were estimated by using lower-extremity Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), time taken for 10-meter walk, and Holden's Functional Ambulation Classification (FAC).Result After 4-week treatment, the FMA, 10-meter walk time and FAC were significantly enhanced in both groups compared to the indexes prior to the treatment (P<0.01); the FMA, 10-meter walk time and FAC in the proximal needling group were significantly superior to those in the rehabilitation group (P<0.05).Conclusion In addition to conventional rehabilitation and acupuncture, proximal needling at Tianzhuplus electroacupuncture at the Balance Zone can increasethe lower-limb motor function score and promote the activities of daily life in cerebral stroke patients; it can also strengthen the security in walking and keep the patients from falling down.

Objective To discuss the effect of Dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) on Wnt singal pathway during the differentiation of osteoblast in vitro.Methods The osteoblasts were obtained from the new rats and cultured in vitro.The 3 passages were divided into control group and DKK-1 group.The cells were cultured in DKK-1 and normal saline for morphogical detection,ALP activity detection and osteoblasts stained at 1 st,6th,12th,21st day.The Wnt was detected by RT-PCR.Results After cultured by the DKK-1 in vitro,the ALP and mineralization of osterblasts staining were prlonged with culture time.Compared with control group,the expression of Wnt was significantly reduced at the 21st day after induction (t =0.278,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion DKK-1 can regulate the expression of Wnt during osteoblast differentiation,suggests that Wnt may be involved in osteoblast differentiation and can affect bone remodeling process.

Objective To investigate the effects of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on sleep status,neuropsychological characteristics in patients with stroke combined with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAHS).Methods Fifty-four patients hospitalized with stroke in Tianjin Medical University General Hospital from May 2014 to January 2016,who were with snoring and met the OSAHS diagnostic criteria,were randomly divided into CPAP combined with drug treatment group (25 cases) and drug treatment alone group (29 cases).The sleep structure and respiratory parameters were evaluated by polysomnography,and the changes of the patients' sleep status was assessed by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).The changes of neurocognitive function were assessed by Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA),Digital Span Test (DST) and Hopkins Verbal Learning Testrevised (HVLT),and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ9) was used to evaluate the depression mood changes.The changes of sleep status,cognitive function and mood in the CPAP combined with drug treatment group were compared before and three months after CPAP combined with drug treatment,and with the drug treatment alone group.Results Because five cases were dropped off,there were 20 patients in the CPAP combined with drug treatment group and 29 patients in the drug treatment alone group who completed the study.After three months of CPAP combined with drug treatment,the respiratory parameters apnea hypopnea index (AHI) in the CPAP combined with drug treatment group (29.32 ± 16.57) was significantly lower than that before treatment (41.66 ± 21.84;t =3.926,P =0.001),and the minimum blood oxygen saturation (LSaO2;82.11％ ± 5.66％) was significantly higher than that before treatment (76.11％ ± 8.90％;t=-5.054,P=0.000).However,the sleep structure parameters did not show statistically significant changes compared with those before treatment.The ESS,PSQI and PHQ9 scores in the CPAP combined with drug treatment group (4.53 ± 3.86,3.00 ± 2.45,0.00 (0.00,2.00)) were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment (10.58 ± 7.82,7.53 ± 2.87,3.00 (1.00,9.00);t =-3.883,P =0.001;t =-6.522,P =0.000;Z =-3.549,P =0.000),whereas MoCA,HVLT (total scores,recall and recognition) and DST 1,2 scores in the CPAP combined with drug treatment group (23.37 ± 4.75,22.32 ± 6.90,7.47 ± 3.82,7.84 ± 2.59,5.32 ± 2.81) were increased compared with those before treatment (22.16±4.94,19.16 ±7.66,6.68 ±3.74,7.32 ±2.67,5.00 ±3.00;t=-2.773,P=0.013;t=-6.857,P=0.000;t=-2.704,P=0.015;t=-2.249,P=0.037;t=-2.882,P =0.010).The ESS,PSQI and PHQ9 scores were significantly reduced in the CPAP combined with drug treatment group compared with the drug treatment alone group (8.76 ± 6.92,7.59 ± 5.49,5.00 (2.50,9.50);t=-2.711,P=0.009;t=-3.941,P=0.000;Z=-4.555,P=0.000),whereas the DST1 score was significantly increased compared with the drug treatment alone group (6.45 ± 1.43;t =2.144,P =0.042).Conclusions Three-month CPAP combined with drugs mainly improved the daytime sleepiness and depression of patients with stroke combined with OSAHS.Cognition especially in attention was significantly improved,and the degree of low ventilation and hypoxia was alleviated,whereas there was no significant change in sleep structure disorder.

Objective:To discuss the efficacy and safety of ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block (RSB) combined with subcostal transversus abdominis plane block(TAPB) in peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation in patients with end-stage renal disease.Methods:A total of sixty patients (scheduled for elective peritoneal dialysis catheter placement from June 2018 to March 2019 in Wuhan First Hospital were randomly divided into two groups: local anesthesia group(group LA, 30 patients) and ultrasound-guided RSB combined with subcostal TAPB (group NB, 30 patients). Group LA: local infiltration anesthesia was performed with 1% lidocaine and 0.5% ropivacaine 20ml; group NB: RSB, 1% lidocaine and 0.5% ropivacaine 15 ml were injected into the lateral rectus sheath, and TAPB, 1% lidocaine and 0.5% ropivacaine 20 ml were injected into the transversus abdominis plane. Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were recorded at the point of entering the operating room (T 0), after anaesthesia (T 1), at the beginning of operation (T 2), twenty minutes after the beginning of operation (T 3), and at the end of the operation (T 4). The duration of operation, the times of additional local anesthetia during the surgery, the score of visual analogue scale (VAS) during and 24 h after the surgery, the rate of alteration to general anesthesia and the occurrence of adverse reactions were recorded. Results:In group LA, compared with T 0, MAP and HR at T 2 and T 3 increased significantly: (93.1 ± 9.7), (99.8 ± 11.6) times/min vs. (78.4 ± 10.5) times/min and (105.1 ± 13.7), (110.5 ± 14.4) mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) vs. (92.1 ± 12.8) mmHg, P<0.05. In group NB, there were no differences among T 0-T 4. At T 2 and T 3, MAP and HR in group LA were higher than those in group NB ( P<0.05). Compared with that in group LA, the duration of operation time decreased significantly in group NB ( P<0.05). The times of additional local anesthetia during the surgery in group LA were more than those in group NB ( P<0.05). Compared with those in group LA, the VAS scores during and 24 h after the surgery in group NB were significantly lower: (3.25 ± 0.65) scores vs. (5.85 ± 0.76) scores, (1.46 ± 0.57) scores vs. (2.37 ± 0.45) scores, P<0.05. There were no significant differences in the rate of alteration to general anesthesia between the two groups: 3.33% (1/30) vs. 0, P>0.05. There was no adverse reaction in these two groups. Conclusions:Ultrasound-guided rectus sheath block combined with subcostal transversus abdominis plane block is safe and effective in peritoneal dialysis catheter implantation. The effect of intraoperative anesthesia is definite, with little influence on hemodynamics. The postoperative analgesia effect is good, without obvious anaesthesia-related adverse events.

Ten novel podophyllotoxin derivatives (IIIa-IIIi and IV) were synthesized by three-step reactions using podophyllotoxin and N-benzyloxycarbonyl glycine-L-proline as raw material. The structures of the target compounds were confirmed by 1H NMR, 13C NMR and MS. MTT method was used to test anti-tumor activity of the target compounds on HepG2, THP-1, HeLa and MCF-7 cells. The results showed that all the target compounds had inhibitory activity against HepG2, THP-1, HeLa and MCF-7 cells, and the inhibitory activity of IIIa on HepG2 cells was the most prominent with an IC50 value of 0.58 nmol/L. The binding mode of compound IIIa and FAPα was studied by molecular docking. Compound IIIa could bind to multiple sites of FAPα enzyme.
