Objective To investigate the mechanism of IL-1β in promoting glial scar formation after spinal cord injury.Methods The experimental model of SCI was created by extradural compression of the spinal cord using an aneurysm clip.Rats were randomly divided into model group, sham operation group, IL-1β inhibitor IL-1RA group, IL-1β group and IL-1β+JAK2-STAT3 inhibitor AG490 group, according to different interventions, then were given normal saline, IL-1RA, IL-1β and IL-1β+AG490 every 10 μL respectively, sham group received only laminectomy.The motion function of the hindlimbs of rats was measured by Basso Beattie Bresnahan(BBB) scores and the expression of GFAP, vimentin and p-STAT3 were detected by Western blot technique, immunofluorescence assay and immunohistochemistry technique at corresponding time points(at the 8th, 12th hour, 1st, 3rd, 7th and 14th day after SCI).Results The expression trend of p-STAT3(at the 8th and 12th hour after SCI),GFAP and vimentin(at the 7th and 14th day after SCI)was: the expressions of p-STAT3, GFAP and vimentin in the model group were significantly higher compared with the sham group(P<0.01), the expression of p-STAT3,GFAP andvimentin in the IL-1RA group were significantly lower compared with the model group(P<0.05) whereas significantly higher compared with the sham group(P<0.05);the expressions of p-STAT3, GFAP and vimentin in the IL-1β+AG490 group were significantly lower compared with the model group(P<0.05)whereas significantly higher compared with the sham group(P<0.05), the expressions of p-STAT3, GFAP and vimentin in the IL-1β group were significantly higher compared with the model group(P<0.05).Conclusions IL-1β can improve glial scar formation via JAK2-STAT3 signal.Inhibition of IL-1β or JAK2-STAT3 can reduce glial scar formation and promote functional recovery of spinal nerve.

Objective? To explore the effects of multidisciplinary collaboration on quality of life in elderly cardiovascular disease patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods? By convenience sampling, from Januaryto May 2018, we selected 50 elderly cardiovascular disease patients with DM of Cardiovascular Department at Zhejiang Hospital in experimental group with multidisciplinary collaboration nursing. From June to December 2018, we selected 50 patients in control group with routine nursing.We compared the scores of Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74 (GQOLI-74) and nursing satisfaction of patients between two groups. Results? After intervention, the scores of GQOLI-74 of patients in experimental group were higher than those in control group with statistical differences (P＜ 0.05). After intervention, satisfaction of patients in experimental group was 96.0% (48/50) was higher than that 74.0% (37/50) in control group with a statistical difference (P＜0.05). Conclusions Multidisciplinary collaboration can effectively improve quality of life and nursing satisfaction among elderly cardiovascular disease patients with diabetes mellitus which is worth to be implemented in clinical practice.

Gastric cancer (GC) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Thus, early diagnosis is important to improve disease prognosis. Endoscopic assessment represents the most reliable imaging method for GC diagnosis; however, it is semi-invasive and costly and heavily depends on the skills of the endoscopist, which limit its clinical applicability.Therefore, the search for new sensitive biomarkers for the early detection of GC using noninvasive sampling collection methods has attracted much attention among scientists.Urine is considered an ideal biofluid, as it is readily accessible, less complex, and relatively stable than plasma and serum. Over the years, substantial progress has been made in screening for potential urinary biomarkers for GC. This review explores the possible applications and limitations of urinary biomarkers in GC detection and diagnosis.

Objective:To analysis of clinical and imaging characteristics of pulmonary cryptococcosis.Methods:The clinical and imaging characteristics of 113 patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis who were admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2014 to March 2019, were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Among 113 patients, 74 cases (65.5%) were males, and 71 cases (62.8%) were at a age of 40-60 years. The imaging manifestations showed a nodular-infiltrating patchy mixed type ( n=44,38.9%), accompanied by halo sign ( n=48, 42.5%) and bronchial air sign ( n=48, 42.5%). All patients were treated with fluconazole and the follow-up at 3 months after discharge showed their conditions were all improved. Subgroup analysis showed that patients with complications had older average age [(54.28±10.64)y vs. (46.52±12.12)y, t=-5.05, P<0.001], longer hospital stay [(10.42±6.11)d vs. (7.09±5.63)d, t=-4.28, P=0.007], lower white blood cell count [(6.02±2.16)×10 9/L vs. (6.96±2.29)×10 9/L, t=2.44, P=0.027]. The symptomatic group had fewer male patients [56.2% (45/80) vs. 87.9% (29/33), χ 2=19.54, P<0.001], and imaging was more likely to show infiltrative patchy [32.5%(26/80) vs. 9.1%(3/33), χ 2=18.25, P=0.031]. There was no significant difference in clinical and imaging manifestations between antigen positive group and antigen negative group(all P>0.05). Conclusions:Most of the patients with pulmonary cryptococcosis are middle-aged men, and have nodular-infiltrating patchy mixed type in imaging; the complications would prolong the length of hospital stay.

OBJECTIVE To study the moderation effect of water extract of Farfarae Flos on blood lipid and glucose regulation in obese mice. METHODS Chemical method was used to identify the components of the water extract of Farfarae Flos. The contents of total terpenes in the water extract of the Farfarae Flos were determined by UV-VIS spectrophotometry. The mice were randomly divided into blank group, model group, orlistat group, and low-dose, medium-dose, and high-dose groups of water extract of Farfarae Flos. The blank group was fed with ordinary diet, while the other groups were fed with high-fat and high-sugar diet to establish an obese animal model, and they were administration while molding for 45 d. At the end of the experiment, the contents of serum triglyceride(TG), cholesterol(CHO), high-density lipoprotein-C(HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein-C(LDL-C), glucose(GLU), and glycosylated serum protein(GSP) were detected. Hematoxylin-eosin(HE) and oil red O staining were used to observe the morphological changes and lipid droplet distribution of liver tissue in mice. RESULTS There were flavonoids and terpenoids in the water extract of the flower. Compared with the blank group, the levels of TG, CHO, LDL-C, GLU and GSP in the model group were significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01), HDL-C was significantly decreased(P<0.05), and the area of lipid droplets in the liver was significantly increased(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, TG, LDL-C, CHO, GLU and GSP levels in the Farfarae Flos water extract groups were significantly decreased, HDL-C was increased, and lipid droplet accumulation were reduced. Compared with the model group, the blood lipid and blood glucose levels in the treatment groups were significantly decreased, among them, the high-dose group of the water extract of Farfarae Flos had the best effect. CONCLUSION The water extract of farfara can improve glucose and lipid metabolism in obese mice by reducing blood lipids, CHO, and improving the pathological morphology of liver tissue.

ObjectiveTo explore the related factors of troublemaking behaviors among patients with mental disorders induced by amphetamine-type stimulants （ATS）， and to provide references for the formulation of relevant intervention measures for ATS-induced mental disorders. MethodsA total of 105 patients who met the diagnostic criteria of International Classification of Diseases， tenth edition （ICD-10） for ATS-induced mental disorders were included， and classified into troublemaking group and non-troublemaking group. The general demographic data and clinical data of the selected individuals were collected， and all patients were assessed using Social Support Rating Scale （SSRS）. Then univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression model were used to screen the related factors of troublemaking behaviors. ResultsThe scores of SSRS， objective support dimension and social support utilization dimension were significantly lower in troublemaking group than those in non-troublemaking group， with statistical differences ［（24.10±6.59） vs. （28.94±5.59）， t=3.364， P=0.001； （5.50±1.96） vs. （8.20±2.13）， t=5.183， P<0.01； （4.60±2.26） vs. （6.28±1.90）， t=3.435， P=0.001］. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that male （OR=6.061， P=0.014） was a risk factor， while high social support level （OR=0.873， P=0.018） was the protective factor for troublemaking behaviors among patients with ATS-induced mental disorders. ConclusionPatients with ATS-induced mental disorders of the males and with low social support level are at high risk of troublemaking behaviors.
