Objective:To investigate the effect of single-port laparoscopy and conventional laparoscopic surgery in ovarian cystectomy.Methods:The clinical data of 139 patients with laparoscopic surgery for ovarian cyst admitted to the same department of gynecology from December 2016 to December 2019 in Suzhou Hospital Affiliated of Anhui Medical University were retrospectively analyzed, and they were divided into single-port laparoscopic surgery group (62 cases) and conventional laparoscopic surgery group (77 cases) according to different surgical methods. The clinical indictors, the levels of estrogen, T lymphocyte subgroups, the complications rate and incision satisfaction rate between two groups were compared.Results:The operation in both groups was smooth and there was no conversion to open surgery. Compared with the conventional laparoscopic surgery group, the surgery time, intraoperative blood loss in single-port laparoscopic surgery group were higher, the hospital stays in single-port laparoscopic surgery group was shorter, but there were no significant differences ( P>0.05). The levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol (E 2) in two groups before operation had no significant differences ( P>0.05). At 30 d after operation, the levels of FSH, LH and E 2 in single-port laparoscopic surgery group were higher than those in conventional laparoscopic surgery group, but the differences were no statistically significant ( P>0.05). Before operation, the levels of CD 4+, CD 8+ and CD 4+/CD 8+ in two groups has no significant differences ( P>0.05). At 3 d after operation, the levels of CD 4+, CD 8+ and CD 4+/CD 8+ in single-port laparoscopic surgery group were higher than those in conventional laparoscopic surgery group: 0.51 ± 0.03 vs. 0.47 ± 0.02, 0.41 ± 0.23 vs. 0.39 ± 0.05, 1.36 ± 0.02 vs. 1.24 ± 0.02, and the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The rate of complication in two groups had no significant difference ( P>0.05). At 3 d after operation, the scores of visual analogue scale (VAS) of pain in single-port laparoscopic surgery group were lower than that in conventional laparoscopic surgery group: (1.12 ± 0.21) scores vs. (3.56 ± 0.65) scores, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). The incision satisfaction rate in single-port laparoscopic surgery group was significantly higher than that in conventional laparoscopic surgery group: 90.32%(56/62) vs. 72.73%(56/77), and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Single-port laparoscopy can be safely and smoothly implemented in ovarian cystectomy, and can reduce postoperative pain, improve cell immunity, and have better cosmetic result.

Objective To investigate the effect of wogonin on ethology and its possible mechanisms in chronic cerebral ischemia in rats.Methods Rats were randomly divided into a sham operation group,a wogonin intervention group,and a phosphate buffered solution (PBS) control group.A rat model of chronic cerebral ischemia was induced by the two-vessel occlusion method.Six weeks after modeling,the rats in the wogonin intervention group and the PBS control group were intragastric administrated with wogonin (50 μmol/L,10 ml/kg,once a day) and PBS with equal volume for 14 days.Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the spatial learning and memory function.Laser confocal three-dimensional vascular imaging was used to detect the vascular proliferation of ischemic brain tissue.5-Bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU)immunochemical staining was used to detect the cell proliferation in ischemic brain tissue.Transmission electron microscope was used to observe the morphological changes of neural cells in cerebral ischernic region.Results The Morris water maze (n =8) showed that the trains of escape latency from the second to the fifth day in the wogonin intervention group were 43.45 ± 8.64 s,37.12 ± 1.31 s,34.75 ± 5.36 s,and 24.36 ± 5.43 s,respectively.They were significantly shorter than 51.69 ± 5.32 s,43.65 ± 9.21 s,50.19 ± 10.31 s,and 53.65 ± 7.15 s in the PBS control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The first quadrant swimming time of the wogonin intervention group was significantly longer than that of the PBS control group (26.16 ±3.29 s vs.14.38 ±2.16 s; P＜0.01).Laser confocal three-dimensional vascular imaging (n=4) showed that the capillary inner diameter in cerebral ischemia region of the wogonin intervention group was reduced significantly compared to the PBS control group (3.02 ±0.21 μm vs.3.35 ±0.18 μm; P ＜0.05),vascular density was increased significantly (205.80 ± 12.70/0.002 mm3vs.158.42 ± 10.92/0.002 mm3; P＜0.01),and total microvascular area was increased significantly (83 389 ± 4 026 μm2/0.002 mm3 vs.73 349 ±3 986 μm2/0.002 mm3; P＜0.01).Immunohistochemical staining (n =6) showed that the number of BrdU positive cells in the ischemic brain tissue of the wogonin intervention group was increased significantly compared to the PBS control group (24.62 ±3.25/HPF vs.9.87 ±2.89/HPF; P＜0.01).The observation of transmission electron microscope showed that the inflammatory edema in the intercellular spaces of the wogonin intervention group was significantly reduced compare to the PBS control group.Conclusions Wogonin can significantly improve the spatial learning and memory ability of chronic cerebral ischemia in rats,and its possible mechanisms may include the promotion of proliferation and angiogenesis in ischemic region and angiogenesis,and reduce inflammatory response.

Aim To investigate the intraspecific variation of Carthamus tinctorius L. (safflower) and establish foundation for further breeding of safflower germplasm resource and screening the quality correlation genes. Methods Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was carried out to analyze genetic variation of 28 safflower populations collected in China. Unweighed pair-group method of with arithmetical averages (UPGMA) cluster analysis was used to construct a dendrogram and to estimate the genetic distances among the populations. Results All populations could be uniquely distinguished using 12 selected primer combinations. Similarity coefficients ranged from 0. 48 to 0. 96 among the populations.Dendrogram revealed distinct segregation of all the cultivars into three main groups and one midst group.Conclusion Limited genetic diversity exists within the tested 28 collections at intra specific level and AFLP-based phylogeny was not absolutely consistent with that based on morphological characters may be due to the interaction effect between genotype and environment.

Aim To investigate how Farnesoid X re-ceptor (FXR),a nuclear hormone receptor,acts on neurological behaviors such as emotion,social behav-ior,memory and so on.Methods FXR’s function in central nervous system was evaluated by conducting a battery of behavioral tests including elevated plus maze test (EPMT),forced-swimming test (FST),social in-teraction test (SIT ), and passive avoidance test (PAT),and the contents of neurotransmitters were de-termined by the LC-MS /MS method in FXR knockout (KO)female mice and their wild-type controls.Re-sults FXR KO mice showed significantly increased immobility time in FST (P <0.01 ),and it showed in-creased tendency to enter the open arms in EMPT (P<0.01 ).The number of probing the open arms by FXR KO mice was more than that of the controls.Mo-reover,in SIT,FXR KO mice had remarkably in-creased sniffing interactions with the stranger mouse in the same cage (P <0.01 ).But in PAT,the latency for FXR KO mice to enter the dark chamber on the test day and the number of FXR KO mice to enter the dark chamber didn’t differ from those wild-type mice.In hippocampus,the contents of GABA,Glu,and NE were decreased prominently in FXR KO mice (P <0.05,P <0.05 and P <0.01 ,respectively)as well as the ratio of GABA to Glu (P <0.05).But in pre-frontal cortex,none of the neurotransmitters examined showed any difference between FXR KO mice and their controls.Conclusion FXR may be involved in main-tenance of the homeostasis of neural transmission in the central nervous system,thereby influences the emotion-al and social behavior in animals.

Objective: To explore the relationship between NLRP3 inflammasome and atrial fibrillation (AF) by examining peripheral blood level of NLRP3 inlfammasome and other inlfammatory factors in relevant patients.
Method: A total of 60 AF patients were enrolled and divided into 2 groups: Paroxysmal AF (PAF) group and Non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (nPAF) group, n=30 in each group;in addition, there was a Control group including 26 healthy subjects from physical examination. NLRP3 expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) was measured by lfow cytometry;blood levels of IL-1β, IL-6, CRP and NT-proBNP were detected by ELISA. The correlations among different factors were studied by liner regression analysis and the differences were compared among groups.
Result:①Compared with Control group, PAF and nPAF groups had increased PBMCs level of NLRP3 and blood levels of IL-1β, IL-6, CRP, NT-proBNP, P<0.05, while NLRP3 level was similar between PAF group and nPAF group, P>0.05.②PAF and nPAF groups showed elevated blood level of NT-proBNP than Control group, P<0.05. ③PBMCs level of NLRP3 was positively related to left atrial diameter (r=0.579, P<0.05) and negatively related to left ventricular ejection fraction (r=-0.490, P<0.05) in both AF groups.
Conclusion: ① NLRP3 inflammasome was closely related to AF, which may provide a therapeutic target for AF treatment. ② AF was closely related to inflammatory response. ③ Downstream product of NLRP3 may cause the inlfammatory response which could induce the occurrence, development and maintenance of AF in relevant patients.

Aim To investigate the changes of behav-iors,neurotransmitters and depression related gene ex-pressions in hippocampus of C57BL/6 mice after olfac-tory bulbectomy (OB).Methods Forced swimming test (FST),tail suspension test (TST),open filed test (OFT),and elevated plus maze test (EPMT) were used to evaluate the behavioral changes 18 days after surgery. LC-MS/MS method was employed to measure the hippocampal neurotransmitters.Quantita-tive PCR approach was established to determine the hippocampal gene expressions associated with depres-sion.Results OB mice were hyperactive in OFT (P<0.05 ) accompanied with increased time spent in open arm of EPMT (P<0.01).Meanwhile,the sur-gery led to the reduction of the ratio of 5-HIAA/5-HT (P <0.01 ) but the increase of Glu/GABA (P <0.01 ) in hippocampus.Moreover,OB elevated the gene expressions of BDNF,Trkb,GDNF,CD1 1 b and TNF-αbut down-regulated that of TPH2 in hippocam-pus (P<0.05 ).Conclusion Behavioral alternation of OB mice was a result of comprehensive effect of the changes of neurotransmission and depression related genes,which call us special attention in using OB as an animal model for research and development of anti-depressants.

In previous studies, four endophytic fungi were isolated from different swollen roots of Rehmannia glutinosa. It's thought that Ceratobasidium sp. , one of the discovered endophytic fingi, was a major promoter for the growth of the roots. In this study, symbiotic experiments were performed to measure the effects of different endophytic fingi cultivated with R. glutinosa. The results showed that the R. glutinosa had significant increases in the size of roots and amount of chlorophyll cultivated with Ceratobasidium sp. And it was tested that indoleacetic acid secreted by Ceratobasidium sp. maybe the effective factor for the promotion of the growth.
