Early gastric cancer is the gastric cancer limited to mucosa or submucosa no matter there is lymph node metastasis or not,and its prognosis is relatively good. China is the high morbidity area of gastric cancer,most patients with gastric cancer are diagnosed at an advanced stage losing the chance of operation and the survival rate is low. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment is crucial for improving the survival rate of patients with gastric cancer. This article reviewed the progress in study on diagnosis of early gastric cancer from the following aspects:serology,imaging,endoscopy and genetics.

Objective To understand the effects of various decoration materials and furniture on indoors air quality. Methods Formaldehyde, benzene and ammonia were monitored in indoor air of some residential buildings in Guangzhou. The residential rooms were divided into two groups, one was simply decorated group, the other was completely decorated group and the two groups were compared. The questionnaire was also carried out. Results The average concentrations of formaldehyde of the two groups were 0.338 mg/m3 and 0.027 mg/m3 respectively, the rates of exceeded standard were 57.14%, 6.67% respectively, and the difference between the two groups was obvious (P

ObjectiveForskolin （FSK） analogs，isoforskolin （isoF），deacetylforskolin（deaF），and 1-acetylforskolin（1-aF），extracted from Coleus forskohlii native to Yunnan，were assayed for their adenylate cyclase stimulating activities in vitro and for effects of two analogs on ocular hypertension （OHT） in water-loaded rabbits．MethodsAdenylate cyclase stimulation was determined by protein-binding method of radioimmunoassay，and intraocular pressure was monitored by pneumatonometer．ResultsIt showed that isoforskolin and forskolin stimulated adenylate cyclase in vitro with almost equal activity，deacetylforskolin with milder activity，and 1-acetylforskolin with little activity in vitro．1％ deaF and 1-aF suppressed rabbit OHT induced by water-loading for at least 3h，with the maximal inhibitory rates of 6.0，10.9% respectively．ConclusionThis study suggests that two foskolin analogs （isoforskolin，deacetylforskolin） possess adenylate cyclase stimulation activities in vitro；deacetylforskolin and 1-acetylforskolin suppress OHT induced by water-loading in rabbits．

BACKGROUND: Syringomyelia is a progressive chronic disease that leads to nerve pain, sensory dissociation, and dyskinesia. Symptoms often do not improve after surgery. Stem cells have been widely explored for the treatment of nervous system diseases due to their immunoregulatory and neural replacement abilities. METHODS: In this study, we used a rat model of syringomyelia characterized by focal dilatation of the central canal to explore an effective transplantation scheme and evaluate the effect of mesenchymal stem cells and induced neural stem cells for the treatment of syringomyelia. RESULTS: The results showed that cell transplantation could not only promote syrinx shrinkage but also stimulate the proliferation of ependymal cells, and the effect of this result was related to the transplantation location. These reactions appeared only when the cells were transplanted into the cavity. Additionally, we discovered that cell transplantation transformed activated microglia into the M2 phenotype. IGF1-expressing M2 microglia may play a significant role in the repair of nerve pain. CONCLUSION Cell transplantation can promote cavity shrinkage and regulate the local inflammatory environment.Moreover, the proliferation of ependymal cells may indicate the activation of endogenous stem cells, which is important for the regeneration and repair of spinal cord injury.

Objective To analyze the acupoint selection rule of acupuncture and moxibustion in the treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction associated with sepsis,thereby providing a reference for clinical treatment.Methods A systematic search was conducted in several databases,including China national knowledge infrastructure(CNKI),China Science Periodical Database,Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database,Chinese Biomedical literature database(CBM),Wanfang Data,and VIP Database,from the inception of the databases until September 30,2023.The collected literature was organized in an Excel database and subjected to descriptive analysis.Association rule analysis and cluster analysis were performed using SPSS 26.0 and SPSS Modeler 18.0 software.Results Finally,35 acupuncture and moxibustion prescriptions in 35 articles were selected for frequency statistics.The results showed 33 acupoints were used to treat gastrointestinal dysfunction in sepsis,with an overall frequency of use of 176 acupoints.The top 10 acupoints used by acupuncture and moxibustion for the treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction in sepsis from high to low were Zusanli,Tianshu,Shangjuxu,Zhongwan,Neiguan,Xiajuxu,Guanyuan,Qihai,Shangwan,Xiawan.The top 3 were Zusanli(16.5%),Tianshu(13.6%),Shangjuxu(11.9%).The most commonly used meridians were the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian(52.8%),Ren Meridian(23.9%),and Foot Taiyin Spleen Meridian(8.0%).The main sites for acupoint selection were the lower limbs(44.9%)and abdomen(41.5%).The most commonly used acupoints were combined acupoints below specific acupoints(35.2%),followed by recruited acupoints(27.8%).The results of high-frequency acupoint correlation analysis showed that the acupoints with the highest comprehensive support were Zusanli,Tianshu,Zhongwan,and Shangjuxu.Cluster analysis identified 5 effective clusters(Quchi acupoint-Sanyinjiao acupoint-Neiting acupoint-Daheng acupoint-Jiaji acupoint-Yinlingquan acupoint-Shangwan acupoint-Xiawan acupoint,Guanyuan acupoint-Qihai acupoint-Neiguan acupoint-Xiajuxu acupoint,Tianshu acupoint-Shangjuxu acupoint,Zhongwan acupoint,Zusanli acupoint)and 4 commonly used acupoint combinations(Guanyuan acupoint-Qihai acupoint-Neiguan acupoint-Xiajuxu acupoint,Tianshu acupoint-Shangjuxu acupoint,Zhongwan acupoint,Zusanli acupoint).Conclusions Acupuncture treatment for gastrointestinal dysfunction in sepsis is mainly based on the treatment of"spleen and stomach",with local acupoint selection and acupoint selection along the meridian as the main approach.It emphasizes the application of specific acupoints,especially the Xiahe and Mu acupoints.

Mock circulatory system (MCS) is an experimental platform for simulating hemodynamic performance of human circulatory system, and has been widely used in in-vitro hemodynamic performance evaluation of passive devices such as ventricular assist devices (VADs), artificial valves, as well as hemodynamic responses of mock circulation loop. MCSs are capable of simulating various physiological conditions, including health, exercise, and heart failure, by adjusting drive element of heart simulator and lumped-parameter element of vasculature components. Since 1 960 s, the research and development target of MSCs has evolved from meeting the basic performance evaluation requirement of VADs and mechanical valve to mimicking local hemodynamic characteristics in vital organs. This review summarizes the design principles, system construction of MCSs as well as its research progress and future prospects.
