Blood glucose level responses to different diets were examined in 12 healthy man. The test breakfasts consist of different proportion of protein and carbohydrate. Three kinds of test breakfast were fed respectively for each person. Blood glucose were measured before and 1, 2 and 4 hr after breakfast. The results indicated that high-CHO diet maintained higher level of blood glucose than other diets in 1-2 hr after breakfast. However the blood glucose level began dropping from 2 hr and dropped below fasting level at 4 hr after breakfast. The high-protein diet resulted in decreasing of blood glucose level in 1-2 hr after breakfast. The blood glucose level then increased continuously until 4 hr after breakfast.The results in this experiment showed that adjustment of the proportion of carbohydrate and protein in diets could maintain the blood glucose to a higher and stable level.

Objective To explore the possible effects of nutritional supplements on brain function as reflected by Water Maze test performance in mice after +Gz exposure.Method Mice were arranged into control group (group A),+Gz group without nutritional supplementation (group B) and +Gz plus nutritional supplementation group (group C).Each group contains 12 mice.Mice in group A were not exposed to +Gz while mice in both group B and group C were exposed to 8 min +10 Gz.Distilled water was gavaged to group B mice 3 h before +Gz exposure.On the day before +Gz exposure pyridoxol fortified water was given and 3 h before exposure mixed amino acids solution were gavaged to group C mice.Water Maze test was done and scores were recorded in all groups.After the Water Maze test was completed,blood was collected through the eyes for serum amino acid determinations and brain tissue was collected by decollation for monoamine determination and γ-glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity evaluation. Result After +Gz exposure,longer completion time and more mistakes were observed in Water Maze test in group B as compared with group A and a trend of improvement in group C was noticed. The ratio of brain 5-HT to dopamine(DA) was significantly reduced in group C as compared with group B.Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) activity in brain tissue in group C and group B increased significantly. Conclusion High sustained +Gz exposure significantly reduces Water Maze test performance in mice (longer completion time and more mistakes).It seems that there is a trend of improvement in Water Maze performance in mice in dietary nutritional supplementation group,which might be due to significant reduction in ratio of brain 5-HT to DA in mice with nutritional supplementation.

As the improvement of patient experience and medical experience has become the key goal of medical model reform,patient experience has gradually guided the development direction of future medical treatment and dominated the model of patient management.Patient journey mapping,as a patient-centered tool for visualizing patient experience,has been widely used in patient management in recent years.It will introduce the definition,construction method,application progress,problems,and prospects of patient journey mapping in the field of patient management at home and abroad to encourage more medical staff to use patient journey mapping to gain insight into patient needs,optimize patient experience and gather strength in patient management.

Background and Objectives: To investigate the effect and the underlying mechanism of exosomes secreted by human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) on diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) in murine lupus. Methods: and Results: Exosomes were extracted from cultured hUCMSCs by ultracentrifugation. The expressions of exosome markers (Alix, CD63 and TSG101) were measured for identification of hUCMSC-derived exosomes (hUCMSC-exosomes). The alveolar hemorrhage of DAH mice was revealed by H&E staining. The primary alveolar macrophages were isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of DAH mice. The expressions of M1 macrophage markers (iNOS, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β ) and M2 macrophage markers (Arg1, IL-10, TGF-β and chi3l3) were detected. Flow cytometry measured the ratio of M1/M2 macrophages. ELISA measured the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-6 and TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-10 and TGF-β ). DAH mice had hemorrhage and small-vessel vasculitis in the lung, with neutrophil and monocyte infiltration observed around the capillary and small artery. Furthermore, increases of IL-6 and TNF-α, and decreases of IL-10 and TGF-β were detected in the BALF of DAH mice. M1 makers were overexpressed in alveolar macrophages of DAH mice while M2 makers were lowly expressed. DAH mice had a higher proportion of M1 macrophages than M2 macrophages. After hUCMSC-exosome or methylprednisolone treatment in DAH mice, the alveolar injuries and inflammatory responses were attenuated, and the proportion of M2 macrophages was increased. Conclusions hUCMSC-exosomes attenuate DAH-induced inflammatory responses and alveolar hemorrhage by regulating macrophage polarization.

Objective: To investigate the dynamic change of paraquant-induced kidney injury in rats and the protective effect of edaravone. Methods: Eighty SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: the normal control group, paraquat poisoning group, edaravone treatment group and edaravone control group. The normal control group of 8 rats were given 1 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride through the abdominal cavity, and the same amount of fluid into the abdominal cavity after 30 minutes. The paraquat poisoning group of 24 rats were given 1 ml of paraquat solution (20 mg/kg) through the abdominal cavity to build poisoning models, and the same amount of 0.9% sodium chloride was injected into the abdominal cavity after 30 minutes. The edaravone treatment group of 24 rats were given edaravone (5 mg/kg) through the abdominal cavity after 30 minutes when the poisoning models were set up. The edaravone control group of 24 rats were given 1 ml of 0.9% sodium chloride through the abdominal cavity, and edaravone (5 mg/kg) was injected into the abdominal cavity after 30 minutes. In addition to the normal control group, the other groups processed 1 times a day to mantain 7 d. On 1, 3, 7, 21 d several rats in each group were excuted and the kidney tissue and serum samples were collected, then each pathological changes of the kidney were observed with light microscopy. Serum creatinine, KIM-1, NGAL were measured by ELISA, the expression of HSP70 protein in kidney were observed with immunohistochemical staining. Results: The pathological examination reveald that the damage of kidney tissue in the paraquat group was the most serious on 3 d, and the damage was consistently alleviated in edaravone treatment group at the same time, renal fibrosisn was unseen in each group until 21 d. Compared with normal control group, there was no statistically significant in edaravone control group (P>0.05) . The KIM-1 in blood and kidney in paraquat poisoning group were markedly increased in 1 d (P<0.05) . The NGAL in blood and creatinine were markedly increased in d7 (P<0.05) . The NGAL in kidney increased over time, but had no statistically difference with the control group (P>0.05) .Compared with paraquat poisoning group, the serum creatinine, KIM-1 in blood and kidney, the KIM-1 in kidney had decreased significantly in edaravone treatment group (P<0.05) . The NGAL in kidney has no statistically significant compared with the poisoning group (P>0.05) . HSP70 expression of kidney tissue in edaravone treatment group had significantly increased in d3 compared with the paraquat poisoning group (P<0.05) . Conclusion Edaravone can prompt a significant rise of HSP70 in kidney tissue, reduce KIM-1 and NGAL levels, and play a protective role in kidney injury of acute paraquat poisoning.

Objective:To evaluate the early effects of combined transaortic and transapical approach to septal myectomy in patients with complex hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy(HOCM).Methods:We consecutively enrolled 20 complex HOCM patients who received transaortic and transapical myectomy in fuwai hospital from January 2019 to October 2019. Echocardiography was performed to compare left atrial size, left ventricular end diastolic diameter, peak left ventricular outflow gradient, ventricular septal thickness, mitral systolic anterior motion and mitral regurgitation grade before and after operation. Furthermore, pre-operative and post-operative electrocardiogram were also analyzed to determine the incidence of bundle branch block. Functional status was evaluated by New York Heart Association functional class.Results:Of the 20 complex hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients, 7(35%) HOCM patients with long-segment septal hypertrophy more than 7cm, 4(20%) patients had both mid-ventricular obstruction and left ventricular outflow obstruction. Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with LOVT obstruction was observed in 5 patients(25%) and aneurysm was found in 4(20%) HOCM patients. Postoperative thickness of ventricular septum was significantly decreased compared with that of preoperation[(21.1±3.6)mm vs.(13.4±3.1)mm]. Peak LOVT gradient or mid-ventricular gradient also significantly reduced after operation[(77.0±21.0) mmHg vs.(9.2±3.4) mmHg] or [(71.0±23.0) mmHg vs. 0 mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa]; After surgery, mitral systolic anterior motion disappeared, mitral regurgitation degree reduced from (1.9±1.5) to (0.2±0.4); NYHA class improved from(2.1±0.2) to(1.3±0.5). New incidence of left bundle branch block occurred in 9 patients, and 1 patient developed complete bundle branch block and implanted permanent pacemaker. The 30-day survival was 100%.Conclusion:Combined transaortic and transapical septal myectomy is an effective and reasonably safe procedure for patients with complex hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
