0.05).The concentration of IL-6 in sputum of multi-virus infection group(122.51?39.86)ng/L was higher than in single virus infection group(65.30?34.92)ng/L.The concentration of IL-6 in sputum of bacteria-virus mixed infection group(120.31?46.62)ng/L was higher than in bacteria or virus single infection group(83.61?47.83)ng/L.Conclusion Streptococcus pneumonia and influenza virus A infection are important factors in AECOPD at early stage.Virus infection would prolong recovery time,increase inflammation of the airway and even induce bacteria infection.Therefore,we should pay more attention to the virus infection in COPD patients,especially A-type influenza virus.

Objective To study the effect of glycine transporter 1 inhibitor M22 on epileptic sei-zures and cognitive dysfunction in epilepsy mice. Methods A total of 110 C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into Normal control group (CON group,n=10),Model group (Mod group n=20),M22-1 group (n=20),M22-2 group (n=20),M22-3 group (n=20),M22-4 group ( n=20) according to weight. The chronic epileptic model was established by intraperitoneal injection of PTZ(30 mg/kg). The mice in CON group was injected with normal saline(10 mg/kg). The mice in Mod group were intraperitoneally injected with normal saline (10 ml/kg) and were injected with PT2 30 min later. The mice in M22-1 group,M22-2 group,M22-3 group,M22-4 group were intraperitoneally injected with M22 of corresponding dose(10 mg/kg,20 mg/kg,40 mg/kg,80 mg/kg)respectively,lasting for 2 weeks. Epilepsy seizures of mice in each group were recorded. The learning and memory function of epilepsy mice were evaluated by Morris water maze test . Then the mice were sacrificed and the apoptosis related proteins Bcl-2,Bax,Cyt-c in the cerebral cortex of mice were meas-ured by Western blot. Results (1)The mortality kindling rate,epileptic seizure grade and rate of tonic clo-nus in M22-2 and M22-3 group were significantly lower than those in Mod,M22-1 and M22-4 group( all P<0. 05). (2) In the directional navigation experiment,the escape latency of mice in each group decreased with time. On the 4th day,the escape latency of mice in M22-3 group was significantly shorter than that in Mod group,and the difference was statistically significant ((30. 24±9. 46),(16. 05±5. 72),t=20. 36,P<0. 05). In space exploration experiment,compared with Mod group,M22-3 group had more times of crossing platform ((6. 45±3. 62),(3. 23±2. 47),t=38. 63,P=0. 004) and longer time of target quadrant activity((21. 53± 6. 38) s,(11. 52±3. 15) s,t=37. 53,P<0. 05). (3)It was showed by Western blotting that the relative ex-pression levels of Bcl-2 in M22-3 group were significantly higher than those in Mod group(P<0. 05),while the Bax and Cyt-c in M22-3 group were significantly lower than those in Mod group(P<0. 05). There was no significant difference in Bcl-2, Bax and Cyt-c between M22-1 group, M22-4 group and model group ( P>0. 05). Conclusion M22 (40 mg/kg) has significant anti-epileptic effect and can effectively improve the cognitive dysfunction of epileptic mice,which may be related to the inhibition of neuronal apoptosis in mice.[Key words] Epilepsy; Glycine transporter 1 inhibitor; M22; Cognitive function; Pentyle-netetrazole

Objective To investigate the risk factors for multiple organ dysfunction syndrome(MODS)in elderly patients with severe stroke.Methods A total of 112 elderly severe stroke pa-tients admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to December 2022 were recruited prospectively,and then according to the results of sequential organ failure assessment(SOFA)within 14 d after admission,they were divided into MODS group(n=38)and non-MODS group(n=74).Based on their clinical outcomes,they were also assigned into survival group(n=-33)and death group(n=79).General clinical data,acute physiology,chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)score,Glas-gow coma scale(GCS)score,and head computed tomography parameters were collected.Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of MODS.Results The MODS group had significantly larger proportions of stroke/hemorrhage,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease,cor-onary heart disease and smoking,higher NIHSS and APACHE Ⅱ scores,elevated ratios of multi-vessel disease,urinary tract infection,venous thrombosis,hemorrhage,epilepsy and myocardial in-farction,more patients using acute mechanical ventilation and osmotic therapy,and increased hos-pital mortality,but lower GCS score when compared with the non-MODS group(P<0.05,P<0.01).Binary logistic regression analysis showed that NIHSS score,APACHE Ⅱ score,and mul-tivessel disease were independent risk factors for MODS(OR=1.124,95%CI:1.121-1.163,P=0.015;OR=1.265,95%CI:1.296-1.426,P=0.001;OR=2.532,95%CI:1.126-5.013,P=0.026).The MODS score and APACHE Ⅱ score were significantly higher in the death group than the survival group(P<0.05).Conclusion Elderly severe stroke patients are prone to MODS during the acute period.
