BACKGROUND:As a kind of stressor, exercise-induced fatigue surely can lead to the material and functional changes of certain nerve nucleus within brain.It is still uncertain on what kind of nucleus closely relate to exer-cise-induced fatigue and what materials induce the functional or/and structural changes of tired central nerve.OBJECTIVE:To study the relationship between nitric oxide synthase (NOS) in ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus(VMH),dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus(DMH) and exercise-induced fatigue.DESIGN:Randomized controlled study.MATERIALS:The experiment was completed in the Department of Human Anatomy of North University of China and Shanxi Medical University during October 2003 to January 2004.Twenty male Wister rats of clean class were selected.INTERVENTIONS:The rats were randomly divided into experimental group and control group with each of 10 rats.The rats in experimental group were made exercise-induced fatigue animal model by doing heavy load swimming until they were exhausted for 4 consecutive weeks. After the model was built,ABC immunohistochemical method was used to observe the expression of neuronal NOS (nNOS) in neurons of VMH ,and DMH and image analysis and statistic process were conducted.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Number of nNOS positive cells in per unit visual field; Area and gray of positive substance.RESULTS:The number of nNOS positive cells in VMH of fatigue group was (25.25±7.35)/visual field which was much greater than that of control group (9.70±3.20)/visual field(P< 0.001).The area of nNOS positive substance was (3 867.75±1 940.41)μm2/visual field which was greater than that of control group(750.13±579.88)μm2/visual field(P < 0.001). The number of nNOS positive cells in DMH of fatigue group was (30.25±7.87) /visual field which was much greater than that of control group (14.00±4.99) /visual field. And the area of nNOS positive substance was (4 512.06±1 243.93) μm2/visual field that was much greater than that of control group(782.46±711.46)μm2/visual field(P < 0.001).CONCLUSION:The nNOS positive neurons in VMH and DMH neurons are closely related to the occurrence of central exercise-induced fatigue.Nitric oxide may play an important role in regulation of VMH and DMH to stress caused by fatigue.

AIM: To investigate the process of human bone marrow stromal cells (hBMSCs) differentiation into neural-like cells and to determine the role of 26S proteasome in neuronal differentiation. METHODS: Purified hBMSCs were treated with β-mercaptoethanol (β-ME) for 1 day and retinoic acid (RA) for 3 days, followed by growth factor (10 μg/L bFGF or 20 μg/L NGF) for another 3 days. Immunofluorescence was performed to detect the expression of nestin (a neural precursor cells marker), Tuj1 (a premature neuronal marker), and neurofilament (NF, a mature neuronal marker) at all stages of induced differentiation. Immunostaining and RT-PCR were used to analyze the expression of 26S proteasome during neuronal differentiation of hBMSCs. To further confirm the role of 26S proteasome in hBMSCs differentiation, cells were treated with β-ME/RA and then followed by protesome inhibitor MG132 and growth factor. Immunostaining was performed to detect NF-positive cells. RESULTS: Quantification results showed that the untreated cells were almost never positive for nestin, Tuj1 and NF. After treated with β-ME/RA, the numbers of nestin-positive cells (34.41%±1.27%) and Tuj1-positive cells (27.79%±1.27%) were increased. Notably, the numbers of NF-positive cells were significantly increased to 56.72%±2.4% after induction with β-ME/RA/GF. Immunofluorescence analysis showed that undifferentiated hBMSCs cells were weakly stained by antibody against 26S proteasome, but the numbers of cells with high-intensity of 26S proteasome were increased after treated with β-ME/RA. The RT-PCR result of 26S proteasome further confirmed that the mRNA level of the cells differentiated by β-ME/RA (1.33), as well as by β-ME/RA/GF (1.77), was significantly increased compared to the undifferentiated cells. Moreover, hBMSCs incubated with protesome inhibitor MG132 significantly decreased the numbers of NF-positive cells (37.59%±1.52%). CONCLUSION: After induction with β-ME/RA/GF, hBMSCs can be differentiated into neural-like cells, which is concomitant with the increase in 26S proteasome expression. Inhibitor of 26S protesome prevents hBMSCs differentiation, suggesting that 26S proteasome may be involved in the differentiation of hBMSCs into neural-like cells.

Objective To explore the influence of the protection motivation theory (PMT) on the self-nursing ability of high-risk diabetic foot (DF) patients. Methods The outpatients in our hospital were selected with high-risk DF between January 2013 and May 2014, randomly divided into the control group and PMT group, 52 cases in each group. Guided under the protection motivation theory, PMT group received a six-month health education and management; and the control group accepted conventional health education of diabetes. Before and after the intervention, some observation indexes of the two groups respectively were evaluated including the ability of diabetic foot self-nursing, foot condition, fasting blood sugar, 2 h postprandial blood glucose. Result After six months, the scores of the self-care ability of diabetic foot and foot condition from the patients of PMT group were higher than that of PMT group before the intervention and that of control group after intervention (P<0.05). Conclusion PMT can help patients with high-risk DF enhance their foot self-care ability, improve their foot condition, control their blood sugar, and prevent the DF onset.
5.Research progress on the correlation between early life adversity and the puberty initiation
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2023;38(7):557-560
Earlier onset of puberty has become a worldwide trend.A large number of epidemiologic and animal experiment evidences have indicated that environmental changes in the early life may influence development plasticity and cause structural and functional changes, which are correlated with adult chronic diseases.The impact of fluctuations in environmental factors on the reproductive phenotype of offspring has been well concerned in recent years.This review summarizes the influences of nutritional state, endocrine disrupting chemicals, hormonal perturbation and stressful events during the prenatal and early childhood on the puberty initiation, especially neuroendocrine changes in puberty, thus providing a new idea for the prevention and control of pubertal disorders.

Objective To explore the optimized ratio of magnesium sulfate and compound polyethylene glycol electric dissolution of two common colon cleansing agent in the preparation of intestinal microscopy, so as to provide references for bowel preparation in clinical colonoscopy treatment. Methods A total of 480 cases of outpatients and inpatients for colonoscopy from March 2016 to March 2017 were selected. All the patients who took magnesium sulfate and compound polyethylene glycol electric dissolution were respectively assigned into four groups according to the dosage and different time of administration, with 60 cases in each group. The effects of bowel preparation and the incidence of adverse effects were compared. Results In the magnesium sulfate groups, there were 53 cases of ClassⅠthe score of bowel cleaning in the group of taking 25% magnesium sulfate 100 ml and water 2 000 ml orally in 1 hour, which was better than the other 3 groups. Hintergroup was 105.654 1 (P<0.01), and Hinterclass was 124.259 9 (P<0.01), and the differences was statistically significant. In the compound polyethylene glycol electric dissolution groups, there were 51 cases of ClassⅠthe score of bowel cleaning in the group of taking 2 boxes of compound polyethylene glycol electric dissolution with water 1 500 ml in 0.5 hour, which was better than the other 3 groups. Hintergrop was 79.280 3, and Hinterclass was 145.504 2, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01). There was no statistical significance in the differences of the incidence of adverse effects (H=47.25, 19.50;P>0.05). Conclusions When using magnesium sulfate in the colonoscopy bowel preparation, taking 25% magnesium sulfate 100 ml and warm water 2 000 ml in 1 hour by oral could get the best colon cleaning effects. When using compound polyethylene glycol electric dissolution, the best cleaning effect ratio is 2 boxes of compound polyethylene glycol electric dissolution with water 1 500 ml in 1 hour, which is suitable for popularization and application.
