ObjectiveTo clarify whether epigallocatechin gallate （EGCG） is involved in the clearance of amyloid β-protein （Aβ） and autophagy induction by microglia， so as to explore the potential mechanisms of EGCG in the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease （AD）. MethodsSix-month-old APP/PS1 mice were randomly divided into model and EGCG groups， with some additional wild type （WT） mice as the control group， each group consisting of 15 mice. The EGCG group received continuous gavage administration［5 mg/（kg·d）］ for 8 weeks， followed by the open field test and Y-maze to assess the learning and memory abilities of the mice. Thioflavin-S staining was used to evaluate the content and distribution of amyloid β-protein （Aβ）in the brain parenchyma of the mice， and immunofluorescence was employed to detect the expression levels of Aβ_1-42， glial fibrillary acidic protein （GFAP）， and ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 （Iba1） in the hippocampal tissue of the mice. Additionally， N9 mouse microglial cells were induced with 20 µmol/L Aβ_1-42， and the cell viability was measured after treatment with different concentrations of EGCG （5 µmol/L， 10 µmol/L， 20 µmol/L）. Western blotting was used to detect the levels of Aβ_1-42， low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1（LRP1）， receptor for advanced glycation endproducts （RAGE）， amyloid precursor protein （APP）， insulin degrading enzyme （IDE）， neprilysin （NEP）， microtubule associated protein 1 hydrogen chain 3（LC3）-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ， phosphatidylinositol 3-hydroxy kinase（PI3K）， p-PI3K， protein kinase B （AKT）， p-AKT， mammalian target of rapamycin （mTOR）， p-mTOR， and histone deacetylase 6（HDAC6）. Finally， through the co-culture of microglial cells and neuronal SH-SY5Y cells， cell viability and Caspase-3 levels were measured to verify the protective effect of EGCG-mediated Aβ clearance on neurons. ResultsEGCG increased the activity time and frequency of APP/PS1 mice in the central area of the open field （P<0.05）， and enhanced the percentage of alternation in the Y-maze test （P<0.01）； EGCG reduced Aβ deposition in the hippocampal tissue of APP/PS1 mice and increased the number of microglia； in vitro experiments showed that EGCG improved the survival rate of Aβ-induced N9 cells （P<0.01）， upregulated RAGE activity （P<0.05）， and promoted the internalization and phagocytosis of Aβ （P<0.01）. ECGC activated microglial autophagy by downregulating the level of HDAC6 （P<0.05）， inhibiting the phosphorylation of PI3K， AKT， mTOR （P<0.001）， and increasing the LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-I ratio （P<0.001）； EGCG improved the survival rate of SH-SY5Y cells （P<0.05） and reduced the activity of Caspase-3 （P<0.01） by clearing Aβ_1-42 through microglia， and had a protective effect on neurons. ConclusionEGCG activates microglial autophagy to clear Aβ by targeting and inhibiting the HDAC6-PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis.

Objective The study aims to optimize the conditions for constructing orthotopic nude mouse models of liver cancer by injecting human liver tumor cell lines and to explore appropriate timings for drug administration. Methods Human hepatocellular carcinoma Hep3B and hepatoblastoma HepG2 cell lines, which stably expressing the luciferase reporter gene (LUC), were selected. The linear correlation between the luciferase luminescence intensity and the number of liver tumor cells was analyzed using a Small Animal In Vivo Imaging system to verify the luminescent efficiency of the human liver tumor cells. Different concentrations (8×10⁶, 2.4×10⁷, 7.2×10⁷ cells/mL) and resuspension media (PBS, Matrigel) of human liver tumor cell suspensions HepG2-LUC and Hep3B-LUC were orthotopically inoculated into the liver lobes of 5-week-old female BALB/c nude mice (12 groups, 7 mice each) to construct human liver tumor nude mouse orthotopic cancer models. Every 7 days, the weights of mice were recorded, and the growth of orthotopic tumors was monitored using the Small Animal In Vivo Imaging system. On day 35 post-cell inoculation, mouse livers were dissected, and pathological slices were prepared for HE staining to observe histopathological changes in liver tissues. Results The luminescence intensity of human liver tumor cell lines was positively correlated with the number of cells (R²=0.983 1, R²=0.970 5), indicating their suitability for orthotopic model construction. Successful modeling was achieved in the high-concentration groups of HepG2-LUC, the low-, medium-, and high-concentration groups of HepG2-LUC+Matrigel, the medium- and high-concentration groups of Hep3B-LUC, and the low-, medium-, and high-concentration groups of Hep3B-LUC+Matrigel. For both HepG2-LUC+Matrigel and Hep3B-LUC+Matrigel groups, mice in the high-concentration groups exhibited significantly reduced body weight compared to the low- and medium-concentration groups (both with P<0.05). The luminescence intensity of successfully modeled mice increased exponentially over time (R²>0.950 0), and reached a minimum of 1.0×10⁷ p/(s·cm²·sr) by day 14 post-transplantation. Mice in the low- and medium-concentration groups of HepG2-LUC and the low-concentration group of Hep3B-LUC showed no significant pathological changes, while the other groups exhibited evident liver tumors and hepatocyte lesions. Conclusion For the HepG2-LUC cell line, the recommended injection volume is 50 µL with a cell density of 2.4×10⁷ cells/mL, resuspended with Matrigel, followed by drug administration or prognostic measures on day 7 post-modeling. For the Hep3B-LUC cell line, the recommended injection volume is 50 µL with a cell density of 7.2×10⁷ cells/mL, not resuspended with Matrigel, with administration or prognostic measures on day 14 post-modeling.

Objective To explore the effects of situational health education on the psychological status and quality of life of patients with gastrointestinal surgery.Methods Totally 96 patients with gastrointestinal surgery were admitted from May 2016 to April 2017, and they were randomly divided into the control group and the intervention group according to random number table method, with 48 cases in each group. Patients in the control group received routine nursing care, while patients in the intervention group received situational health education for two weeks. The anxiety, depression and quality of life of patients in two groups were compared before intervention and two weeks after intervention.Results There was no significant difference in the anxiety, depression and quality of life of patients between two groups before intervention (P>0.05). Scores of self-rating anxiety scale (SDS) and self-rating depression scale (SAS) of patients in two groups after intervention were all lower than those before intervention. The scores of SAS and SDS of patients in the observation were [(48.36±5.47), (42.36±4.35)], and they were higher than those of patients in the observation group [(40.26±3.19), (35.71±2.79)], with significant differences (t=8.86, 8.91;P<0.01). After intervention, the quality of life of patients in the two groups were all improved; the scores of physical symptom, sleep, mental status and social emotion of patients in the observation were all higher than those of control group (t=4.01, 4.83, 4.86, 4.72;P<0.01).Conclusions On the basis of routine nursing intervention, situational health education may can improve the psychological state of patients with gastrointestinal surgery, and improve their quality of daily life.

Objective: To analyze the correlation of miR-625 expression with clinicopathological characteristics in esophageal squa-mous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and to explore the effect of miR-625 on the migration and proliferation of ESCC cells. Methods:The expres-sion level of miR-625 was determined through real-time PCR in 86 paired human ESCC tissue specimens and tumor-adjacent normal esophageal tissue specimens, ESCC cell lines, and esophageal epithelial cell line. The associations of miR-625 expression with clinico-pathological characteristics and survival in ESCC patients were analyzed. Transwell and CCK-8 assays were performed to examine the effect of miR-625 expression on migration and proliferation of ESCC cells. Results:Compared with tumor-adjacent normal specimens, miR-625 was significantly downregulated in ESCC tissue specimens (P<0.05). MiR-625 expression was decreased in ESCC cell lines com-pared with human esophageal epithelial cell lines (P<0.05). Lower miR-625 expression was associated with poorer prognosis and sur-vival. The migration and proliferation abilities of ESCC cells were inhibited by miR-625 overexpression (P<0.05). Conclusion:MiR-625 acts as a tumor suppressor gene in the development and progression of ESCC, suggesting that miR-625 may serve as an efficient prog-nosis biomarker and a potential therapeutic target for ESCC.
