Objective To observe the inhibitory effect of matrine on K-ras gene mutation colon cancer, and to clarify the inhibitory mechanism. Methods SW480 cells were treated with different concentrations of matrine. MTS method was used to detect the proliferation of SW480 cell lines. The apoptosis of SW480 cells was measured by flow cytometry. The migration of SW480 cells was examined by the scratch test. The expression of MEK1/2 protein was detected by Western blotting method. Results Compared with the blank control group, matrine (0.125-1 mg/mL) could inhibit the growth and proliferation of human colorectal cancer SW480 cell lines, promote the apoptosis, restrain the migration of SW480 cells, and inhibit the expression of MEK1/2 protein(P < 0.05), the effect showing a dose-dependent trend. Conclusion Matrine can effectively inhibit the proliferation and migration of SW480 cells, and promote SW480 cell apoptosis through the down-regulation of MEK1/2 protein expression in MAPK signal pathway system.

Objective To conduct serum pharmacochemistry study onShijing pill. Methods HPLC fingerprints of serum in rats after takingShijingpill were established,the serun samples after takingShijing pill, decoction without one of the component drugs and single crude drug were compared,the transitional constituents absorbed into the blood and the original crude after takingShijing pill was determined.Results Fourteen transitional constituents were detected in rat blood after takingShijing pill,four of which were permanent component of blood,seven of which were prototype constituents,three of which were metabolites. Conclusions Some of chemical composition ofShijing pill was clarified preliminarily,that contributes to further studying pharmacodynamic meterial foundation ofShijing pill.

Objective:To study the application value of flexible endoscopic examination of swallowing(FEES) for the aspiration screening, the diagnosis of dysphagia and evaluation of the therapeutic effectin acute stroke patients with dysphagia.Methods:Three hundred and seventy-three patients with acute stroke who hospitalized from October 2015 to January 2020 in Dalian Municipal Central Hospital Affiliated of Dalian Medical University and underwent FEES for analyzing the characteristic performance were enrolled, and 11 cases of them were examined by video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS). The results of the reliability of diagnosis dysphagia of the two methods were compared. The results of FEES for assessing the recovery effect after treatment were evaluated.Results:In 373 patients, the FEES revealed 268 cases(71.85%) of aspiration (99 cases) were recessive aspiration, which was better than that in water swallow test (50.94%, 190/373). Patients with potential cricopharyngeus achalasia got the same results through both of VFSS and FEES. FEES could provide more positive indicators and guide clinical rehabilitation treatment and objective assessment of rehabilitation effectiveness.Conclusions:Acute stroke patients with dysphagia have characteristic laryngeal performance. FEES is simple to operate and has high application value.
4.Cluster characteristics of physical activities among children inside and outside kindergartens and its relationship with athletic abilities
Chinese Journal of School Health 2023;44(10):1560-1563
Objective:
Based on physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) variables on weekdays and weekends, the study aims to cluster the physical activities inside and outside kindergartens and to explore the cluster characteristics of different children using physical fitness indicators, so as to provide new strategies and methods for early childhood education and health.
Methods:
From March to June 2019, 291 children aged 3-6 years from 6 kindergartens in Nanchang were recruited by a stratified cluster random sampling method. The ActiGraph GT3X-BT triaxial accelerometer was used to measure and analyze the PA and SB levels inside and outside the kindergarten. A twostep clustering algorithm model was employed for cluster analysis. Physical fitness were measured and evaluated according to the "National Physical Fitness Measurement Standard Manual (Preschool Section)". Differences in physical fitness among different clusters of children were compared, and the cluster characteristics of different children were analyzed.
Results:
The clustering algorithm model indicated that based on six indicators, including PA and SB inside the kindergarten on weekdays, and PA and SB outside the kindergarten on both weekdays and weekends, children could be divided into three categories:active inside (high PA, low SB inside), active outside (high PA outside), and inactive (low PA, high SB both inside and outside). The average silhouette coefficient of the model was 0.3, indicating good clustering results. Both the active inside and active outside children showed significantly higher PA inside on weekdays, PA outside on weekdays and weekends, daily low intensity physical activity (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) than the inactive children ( F=157.91, 80.79 , 95.86, 95.52, 124.74, P <0.05). After adjusting for gender and age, the physical fitness scores of both active outside ( 19.03 ±0.47) and active inside (19.11±0.40) were significantly higher than those of the inactive children (17.94±0.31). Additionally, active inside children (3.91±0.14) also showed significantly better performance in continuous double-leg jumps, compared to inactive children (3.45±0.11) ( P <0.05).
Conclusion
Children active inside and those active outside perform well in PA. Future research should focus on the proportion of structured and unstructured PA time to enhance the overall physical fitness of children.
