Objective To explore the effects of wogonin on hyperlipidemia in mice and clarify the molecule mechanism. Methods Thirty mice were evenly divided into three group normal control group,model control group and treatment group. The normal control group was given normal diet,the model control group received high-fat diet,the treatment group received high-fat diet with wogonin (500 mg·kg-1 ). Results The mice developed hyperlipidemia 12 weeks after starting the high-fat diet. The body weight,visceral fat and fat index were increased (P<0. 05). After treatment,these indices were reduced ( P < 0. 01). Wogonin significantly reduced the total cholesterol ( TC),low density lipoprotein ( LDL),high density lipoprotein (HDL),except the triglyceride (TG). Compared to the model control group,the hepatic lipase(HL) and lipoprotein lipase(LPL) activity in the treatment group were recovered (P<0. 05),but HMG-CoA reductase activity was inhibited ( P<0. 01). Mechanistic study suggested that the lipid-lowering effect might be related to the lipid synthesis genes (SREBP-1c,FAS, PPARγ) and the lipid metabolism genes (PPARα,CPT-1). Conclusion Wogonin can prevent hyperlipidemia,which might be related to the regulation of enzyme activity and the changes of lipid synthesis and oxidative metabolism.

Objective · To explore family medical intervention model of senile dementia with behavioral and psychological symptoms. Methods · Four streets of Changning District in Shanghai were randomly selected and subjects were enrolled according to the inclusion criteria, who were randomly divided into the intervention group (n=71) and control group (n=70). The intervention group received door-to-door service from psychiatric doctors, given drug treatment and psychological intervention. Subjects were evaluated by several scales, including Behavioral Pathology in Alzheimer's Disease Rating Scale (BEHAVE-AD), Mini-Mental State of Examination (MMSE), Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL), Quality of Life-Alzheimer's Disease (QOL-AD), and Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74), at baseline and by the end of 6 months and 12 months. Results · ① There was no significant difference in the total scores and all factor scores of BEHAVE-AD between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed a significant main effect of time (P<0.001). The between-group effect was significant in the total scores of BEHAVE-AD and the factor scores of affective disorder, anxiety and terror (P<0.001). The interactive effect of time×group was significant in the total scores of BEHAVE-AD and the factor scores of delusion and affective disorder (P<0.05). ② Intergroup comparison of the BEHAVE-AD scores indicated that by the end of 6 months, factor scores of hallucination, circadian rhythm disorder, affective disorder, anxiety and terror of the intervention group were remarkably better than those of the control group and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). By the end of 12 months, total scores of BEHAVE-AD, and factor scores of delusion, conduct disorder, affective disorder, anxiety and terror of the intervention group were remarkably better than those of the control group and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.01). ③ There was no significant difference in the scores of MMSE, ADL, QOL-AD and GQOLI-74 between the two groups before intervention (P>0.05). Repeated measures analysis of variance revealed a significant main effect of time (P<0.001). The between-group effect was significant in the scores of MMSE and QOL-AD (P<0.001). The interactive effect of time×group was significant in the scores of MMSE, ADL, QOL-AD, and GQOLI-74 (P<0.05). ④ Inter-group comparison of MMSE, ADL, QOL-AD, and GQOLI-74 scores indicated that by the end of 6 months, scores of MMSE of the intervention group were remarkably better than those of the control group and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). By the end of 12 months, scores of MMSE, ADL, QOL-AD, and GQOLI-74 of the intervention group were remarkably better than those of the control group and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion · The family medical intervention model of door-to-door services from psychiatrists integrating multidisciplinary team is effective to attenuate the mental and behavioral symptoms of senile dementia patients, and can improve the quality of life of patients and caregivers. The effect of persistent implementation will be more remarkable.

Objective: To study the effect of ghrelin on L-type calcium channel current (ICa-L) of ventricular myocytes in experimental rats. Methods: The single ventricular myocyte in experimental rats were obtained by enzymolysis method, and the whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to investigate the effect of ghrelin on ICa-L of ventricular myocytes at different doses of 10 nmol/L, 100 nmol/L and 1μmol/L respectively. Results: Ghrelin at 10 nmol/L, 100 nmol/L and 1μmol/L may inhibit ICa-L at (8.95 ± 2.13) %, (31.18 ± 4.78) % and (64.63 ± 8.57)% respectively,P<0.05, and the current-voltage curve was shifted upwards. The channel half inactivation curve decreased from (-1.34 ± 1.9) mV to (-8.04 ± 1.32 ) mV, (9.76 ± 1.17) mV and (-11.81 ± 0.73) mV respectively,P<0.05, and the recovery time after inactivation was prolonged as τ value from (63.23 ± 9.32) to (98.95 ± 10.74), (109.56 ± 13.42) and (127.39 ± 16.13) respectively,P<0.05. Conclusion: Ghrelin may accelerate ICa-L inactivation and prolong the recovery time after inactivation. Ghrelin inhibits ICa-L in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To investigate the expression of immunoglobulin γ-1 heavy chain constant region(IGHG1)in acute myeloid leukemia(AML)THP-1 cells and its influence on cell proliferation,apoptosis,and invasion via its regulation of the transforming growth factor β(TGF-β)/Smad pathway.Methods Bone marrow specimens from nine children with AML and eight children with fractures,human bone marrow stromal HS-5 cells,and human AML THP-1 and HL60 cells were used in the research.Western blot was used to detect IGHG1 protein expression.THP-1 cells were divided into a blank group(without any treatment),si-NC group,si-IGHG1-1 group,si-IGHG1-2 group,si-IGHG1-3 group,TGF-β group,si-IGHG1-1+TGF-β group,and si-IGHG1-1+TGF-β +LY364947 group.Cell proliferation was measured by CCK-8 method.Flow cytometry and Transwell experiment were performed to measure apoptosis and invasion.Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of IGHG1,TGF-β,p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 in each group of cells.Results Compared with the bone marrow of children with fractures,the bone marrow of children with AML(P<0.05)had significantly higher expression levels of IGHG1((0.24±0.03)vs(0.87±0.12)).Compared with HS-5 cells,human AML THP-1 and HL60 cells had significantly increased expression levels of IGHG1((0.89±0.14)(0.75±0.08)vs(0.21±0.02))(P<0.05).Compared with the blank group,the si-IGHG1-1 group of THP-1 cells showed significantly reduced OD450 values(24 h,48 h,72 h),invading cell numbers and protein expression of TGF-β,p-Smad2,p-Smad3 and their apoptosis rate was increased(P<0.05),while the corresponding indexes showed the opposite trend in the TGF-β group(P<0.05).TGF-β reversed the effects of silencing IGHG1 on the proliferation,apoptosis and invasion of THP-1 cells.Compared with the si-IGHG1-1+TGF-β group,the si-IGHG1-1+TGF-β+LY364947 group had significantly decreased TGF-β,p-Smad2,p-Smad3 and protein levels,OD450 values and cell invasion numbers and the apoptosis rate was increased(P<0.05).Conclusions IGHG1 is highly expressed in AML cells.Silencing the IGHG1 gene can inhibit the proliferation and invasion of AML cells and promote the apoptosis of AML cells.This mechanism may be related to the inhibition of the TGF-β/Smad pathway.

Childhood is an important period for individual health. In order to provide community child health services, Zhoujiaqiao Community Health Service Center of Shanghai Changning District has opened a pediatric clinic since July 2017. Through equipping basic facilities, personnel training, extending service items and service time, allocating resources with cooperative hospitals, optimizing internal system management and other methods, the community pediatric service under the family physician team model has been initially constructed. The article summarizes experiences in the construction and operation of community pediatric services and child health care, to provide reference for the development of a replicable and promotable urban community pediatric service system under the contracted family physician team model.
