AIM: To explore the effects of Compound Yi-Zhi (YZC) on learning and memory capacity and free radical metabolism in D-galactose induced mice dementia model. METHODS: The mice dementia model was induced by a daily D-galactose 0.15 g?kg -1 sc for 45 d and after 5 d D-galactose injection, the mice were treated with three doses of YZC once a day for 40 d. In order to find out the influence of YZC on the models learning and memory capability and free radical metabolism system, Y-maze test was introduced for the former and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) tests for the latter. RESULTS: Compared with the D-galactose model group, three doses of YZC administration ( 0.108, 0.217, 0.433 g?kg -1) were all shown to significantly reduced the times of learning/memory in Y-maze test from 31.35? 8.97/ 17.12? 5.57 to 19.67? 8.07/ 11.27? 6.65, to 14.00? 6.84/ 8.29? 5.95, and to 11.41? 5.99/ 6.24? 4.97, respectively. For SOD, the administrations of 0.108 and 0.433 g?kg -1 YZC could increase the activity of SOD from 17.69? 3.14 to 26.94? 4.46, and to 21.33? 3.63 nU?mg -1 pro. While for MDA, all the three doses of YZC could decrease the level of MDA from 4.08? 0.88 to 2.82? 0.75, to 2.10? 0.42, and to 2.35? 0.39 nmol?mg -1 pro in the mice brain tissue, respectively. CONCLUSION: YZC can improve the D-galactose induced learning and memory dysfunction, and the action may be related to the improvement of antioxidase activity in the model mice brains.

Ion trap performances are investigated based on digital ion trap technique with different collision gases at different pressures. Collision gases of helium (4 amu), nitrogen (28 amu) and argon (40 amu) with various pressures are adopted in ion excitation and dissociation stages to investigate the ion trap performances, including mass resolution, signal intensity, tandem mass spectrometric analysis ability and low-mass cut off (LMCO) effect. It is found that when heavy gas of argon is used, energy can be efficiently transferred and LMCO effect is decreased with higher ion capture and dissociation efficiencies but with low mass resolution. Higher mass resolution is realized with helium as collision gas. Furthermore, at the same gas pressure, heavy gas is beneficial to abundant fragment ions and structural information of precursor ion.

Objective To discuss the mass transfer of low temperature gas in the lung bronchus, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the implementation of hypothermic ventilation cooling non-heart-beating donor (NHBD) lung program. Methods A real airway model was reconstructed based on human lung CT images, and the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method was used to investigate the airflow characteristics inside the airway during reciprocating ventilation. The effect of ventilation frequency (0.5, 0.25, 0.125 Hz) on bronchial flow was also studied. Results The flow in the airway showed complex three-dimensional （3D） flow characteristics during reciprocating ventilation. The flow in different areas of the airway was different during inhaling and exhaling; the irregular bronchial geometry had an important effect on its internal flow; when the ventilation frequency decreased from 0.5 Hz to 0.125 Hz, the thickness of flow boundary layer would increase, and the mainstream velocity in different areas of the airway was enhanced to different degrees. Conclusions The real airway model based on CT 3D reconstruction was more accurate than the ideal circularity tube model in showing the bronchial flow. The research findings have an important guiding significance to optimize the hypothermic ventilation cooling NHBD lung technique.

Objective:To compare the outcomes between hook thin plate compression technique and conventional screw-plate fixation in the treatment of adolescent tibial tubercle avulsion fractures.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed of the 43 adolescent patients with tibial tubercle avulsion fracture who had been treated at Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital from January 2018 to October 2020. There were 42 males and one female, aged from 13 to 17 years. According to their treatment methods, they were divided into an observation group (9 cases) treated with hook thin plate compression technique and a control group (34 cases) treated with fixation with cannulated screws alone or in addition with a 1/3 tube plate. The maximum range of knee flexion, B?stman score, and cases returning to school at one month after operation, as well as fracture union time, B?stman score and cases with complications at the last follow-up were compared between the 2 groups.Results:There were no significant differences in the preoperative general data between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). By the postoperative one month, the maximum range of knee flexion [90.0° (85.0°, 102.5°)], B?stman score [21.0 (18.5, 21.0)] and cases returning to school (7) in the observation group were significantly better than those in the control group [22.5° (15.0°, 30.0°), 11.0 (10.0, 13.0), and 0] ( P<0.001). The last follow-up revealed no significant differences between the 2 groups in frature union time [(2.7±0.5) months versus (2.8±0.5) months], B?stman score [30.0 (30.0, 30.0) versus 30.0 (30.0, 30.0), 30.0)] or cases with complications (1 versus 2) ( P>0.05). Conclusion:In the treatment of adolescent tibial tubercle avulsion fractures, compared with conventional fixation with cannulated screws alone or in addition with a 1/3 tube plate, hook thin plate compression technique may lead to better outcomes, because it allows early rehabilitation to shorten the postoperative immobilization time and promote early functional recovery.

Objective To evaluate the role of cardiopulmonary coupling (CPC) analysis in evaluating the sleep quality of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD),and explore its correlation with subjective complaints in patients with PD.Methods Sixty patients with PD,admitted to our hospital from October 2015 to December 2017,and 45 healthy controls accepted physical examinations were enrolled.The sleep qualities of all subjects were assessed using CPC and Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI).Independent-sample t test was used to compare the CPC variables and PSQI results,and the correlations between CPC variables and PSQI results were analyzed.Results (1) High-frequency coupling (HFC) and sleep efficiency of PD patients were significantly lower than those of healthy controls (P＜0.05);very low-frequency coupling and sleep latency of PD patients were significantly higher than those of healthy controls (P＜0.05).(2) Results of PSQI in the PD patients were significantly increased as compared with those in the control group (P＜0.05);there was a negative correlation between PSQI results and HFC ratio in the PD group (r=-0.391,P=0.002).Conclusion CPC analysis is effective in reflecting the subjective sleep quality of PD patients and can be used as a new technology in sleep monitoring.

Objective:To study the clinical features of the "migration birds" population in Hainan Province in winter presenting with acute cholecystitis.Methods:Patients who were diagnosed to suffer from acute cholecystitis in the winter months from November to February of the following year of 2017, 2018 and 2019 and admitted in Hainan Hospital of Chinese PLA General Hospital were included in this study. The "migration birds" patients who arrived in Hainan Province in less than 30 days were defined as the short-term group ( n=49), 30-89 days as the mid-term group ( n=24), more than 90 days as the long-term group ( n=48). The general information, associated medical diseases, clinical presentations, interventional strategies and in-hospital outcomes were compared, and further analyze the clinical characteristics of patients with purulent cholecystitis and non-purulent cholecystitis in the short-term group. Results:Of 120 patients, there were 49 patients in the short-term group (29 males and 20 females with an average age of 65.18±15.02 years), 24 patients in the mid-term group (13 males and 11 females with an average age of 66.21±11.93 years), and 48 patients in the long-term group (30 males and 18 females with an average of 60.73±12.54 years). The general information, interventional strategies and in-hospital outcomes were similar among the three groups. When compared with patients in the long-term group, patients in the short-term group had higher incidences of hypertension [20.83% (10/48) vs 48.98% (24/49)] and diabetes [10.42% (5/48) vs 30.61% (15/49)]. The gallbladder wall in the short-term group was significantly thicker than that in the long-term group [0.60(0.40, 0.70) cm vs 0.50(0.30, 0.60) cm, P<0.017]. The proportion of purulent cholecystitis in the short-term group was significantly higher than that in the long-term group [48.15% (13/27) vs 17.24% (5/29) , P<0.017] . In the short-term group, the incidences of silt-like stones of purulent cholecystitis [38.46% (5/13) vs 14.29% (2/14)], gallbladder perforation [30.77% (4/13) vs 0], gallbladder gangrene [53.85% (7/13) vs 7.14% (1/14)], perigallbladder effusion [76.92% (10/13) vs 14.29% (2/14)], abdominal effusion [46.15% (6/13) vs 7.14% (1/14)] were significantly higher than that of patients with non-purulent cholecystitis, (all P<0.05). Conclusion:Patients presenting with acute cholecystitis after arrival in Hainan in the short term had more severe inflammation with complications of suppuration, perforation and gangrene. Patients with hypertension and diabetes were the high risk group of patients presenting with acute cholecystitis after short-term arrival in Hainan.

Objective:To evaluate the effectiveness of perioperative fasting abbreviation in traumatic patients with orthopaedic trauma and diabetes mellitus undergoing selective surgery.Methods:The patients were selected for this prospective nonrandomized controlled study who had undergone selective surgery from June 2019 to June 2021 at Department of Orthopaedic Trauma, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital. They were divided into an intervention group and a control group according to the wards where they stayed. The intervention group was fasted for solids from 0 o'clock on the surgery day and received oral solution with 6.25% maltodextrin which had been prepared by the nutritional department 3 hours prior to surgery. The control group was fasted for either liquids or solids from the midnight before surgery. All patients were evaluated according to the wake-up score and defensive reflex score after surgery. Once they were awakened, they were allowed slag-free drinks. Normal food was allowed if there was no discomfort after 2 hours. The 2 groups were compared in terms of basic information, actual preoperative fasting time, total amount of preoperative drinking, and postoperative time for initial drinking and eating. The perioperative subjective feelings (anxiety, thirst, hunger, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, sweating, stomach discomfort, etc.), grip strength and blood glucose were observed and compared between the 2 groups. Adverse reactions in the 2 groups were also observed.Results:A total of 135 patients were included, including 52 in the intervention group and 83 in the control group. The intervention group consisted of 22 males and 30 females aged from 30 to 84 years; the control group consisted of 39 males and 44 females aged from 29 to 81 years. There was no significant difference in the basic information between the 2 groups, showing comparability ( P>0.05). The intervention group had significantly shorter preoperative fasting time [3.5 (2.5, 6.3) h versus 12.0 (9.0, 16.0) h], significantly higher water intake before surgery [300 (200, 300) mL versus 100 (100, 200) mL], significantly shorter postoperative fasting time [0.08 (0, 1.25) h versus 2.00(0, 6.00) h], and significantly reduced time to return to normal diet [2.0 (2.0, 2.3) h versus 3.0(2.0, 6.0) h] than the control group (all P<0.05). The symptoms of anxiety, fatigue, sweating, and stomach discomfort in the intervention group were significantly fewer than those in the control group throughout the evaluation period. The thirst in the intervention group was significantly alleviated than that in the control group immediately after returning to the ward after surgery, and the dizziness and hunger were significantly alleviated than those in the control group when the patients left the ward to the operation room before surgery and immediately after returning to the ward. The symptom of nausea after returning to normal diet in the intervention group was significantly relieved compared with the control group. All the comparisons above showed statistically significant differences ( P<0.05). The blood glucose in the intervention group 2 hours after taking slag-free drinks was significantly higher than that in the control group ( Z=-2.108, P=0.035). There was no significant difference in the blood glucose between the 2 groups during other measurement periods ( P>0.05). There were no serious adverse reactions in either of the 2 groups. Conclusion:The protocol of perioperative fasting abbreviation may be safe and feasible for the patients with orthopaedic trauma and diabetes mellitus undergoing selective surgery, because it shows benefits of improving the patients' subjective feelings and stabilizing the blood glucose perioperatively.
