Objective To observe the effect of scalp nerve block ( SNB ) with ropivacaine hydrochloride at different time points on pain management after craniotomy. Methods Ninety patients undergoing craniotomy were randomly divided into 3 groups:group A, SNB conducted before surgery;group B, SNB conducted after surgery;group C, SNB conducted both before and after surgery, with 0. 5% of ropivacaine hydrochloride in each group. All patients received the same general anesthesia and diclofenac sodium were administered rectally as rescue analgesics. Sites and duration of surgeries, end-tidal sevoflurane concentration during incision, HR and SBP levels during the course of surgery and postoperative period, the VAS scores, GCS and Ramsay scores at 0. 5, 2, 4, 6, 12, 24, 48 h postoperatively, time of the first rescue appication analgesics and total consumption of rescue analgesics, the adverse effects, awareness under anesthesia were analyzed respectively, as well as local anesthesia relevant adverse events and time of wound healing. Results The end-tidal sevoflurane concentration was significantly decreased in group B (3. 19±0. 36)% as compared with group A (1. 81±0. 24)% and C (1. 77±0. 33)% (P<0. 05);The VAS scores of group A (3. 77±2. 27, 4. 20±2. 09) at 2 and 4 h were higher than those in group B (2. 77±1. 98, 3. 20±2. 20) and C (2. 97±1. 77,2. 27±1. 93) (P<0. 05), while at other time points the differences were not significant (P>0. 05);Compared with group A (600 mg), the consumption of rescue analgesics of group B (300 mg) and C (250 mg) were statistically lower (P<0. 05);Vital signs, GCS, Ramsay scores, time of the first rescue analgesics postoperatively used, and time of wound healing among the three groups were not various significantly (P>0. 05);The relevant side effects were not different statistically, and there were no patients suffering from obvious awareness under anesthesia, pruritus, respiratory depression or local anesthesia relevant adverse effects. Conclusion SNB conducted before surgery can decrease the consumption of sevoflurane during incision, but has limited analgesic effects postoperatively. SNB conducted after surgery may provide transitional analgesia for neurosurgical patients undergoing craniotomy, while SNB conducted both before and after surgery does not show significantly longer analgesic time in postoperative pain management.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of vitamin A (VA) combined iron supplements on iron metabolic homeostasis for preschoolers.
METHODSAbout 445 preschoolers with aged 3-6 years old from eight kindergartens in Pixian county, Chengdu were recruited into this trial from March to September, 2011. All subjects met the inclusion criteria were randomly divided into four groups using random number table: sole VA supplementation group (VA group, a single oral dose of VA at about 200 000 units), sole iron supplementation group (FE group, daily oral supplementation with the element iron 1-2 mg·kg(-1)·d(-1) for five days a week, lasting for 6 months), the combined supplementation of VA and iron group (VF group) and control group (CO group, no VA and iron supplementation). The concentration of serum VA, serum ferritin (SF), serum transferring receptor (sTfR), C-reactive protein (CRP) and hemoglobin (Hb) were measured from 3 ml vein blood. The sTfR-SF index (TFR-F index) and total body iron content (TBIC) before and after intervention were calculated. The differences of these indexes between groups before and after intervention were analyzed.
RESULTSThe level of sTfR before intervention in VA group ((1.78 ± 0.17) mg/L) was significantly higher than that of after intervention ((1.18 ± 0.11)mg/L) (t = 28.88, P < 0.01). The levels of TFR-F index and TBIC in FE and VF groups before intervention ( (1.59 ± 0.37), (1.63 ± 0.40) and (9.04 ± 2.71), (9.26 ± 2.33) mg/kg, respectively) were all lower than those of after intervention (TFR-F index:(1.84 ± 0.51), (1.87 ± 0.45) and TBIC:(12.42 ± 3.49), (13.01 ± 2.98)mg/kg) (t values were 3.93, 3.78, 7.57 and 9.41, respectively, all P values were <0.01). The incidence of iron deficiency in VA, FE, and VF groups before intervention were 26% (25/95), 31% (30/98) and 31% (28/90) and were 41% (39/95), 10% (10/98) and 18% (16/90) for after intervention, respectively. The difference of this index in VA, FE and VF groups were significant (χ(2) values were 4.59, 12.50 and 4.31, respectively, all the P values were <0.05).
CONCLUSIONCombined VA and iron was as effective as VA alone or iron alone in decreasing the iron deficiency, the impact of VA intervention on iron metabolic homeostasis was mainly manifested in iron usage and mobilization, but showed no effect on total body iron content.

Objectives:To explore the antitumor effects of redox-responsive nanoparticles containing platinum(Ⅳ)—NP@Pt(Ⅳ) in ovarian cancer.Methods:Redox-responsive polymer carriers were synthesized. Polymer carriers and platinum(Ⅳ)—Pt(Ⅳ) can self-assemble into NP@Pt(Ⅳ). Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry was performed to detect the platinum release from NP@Pt(Ⅳ) in reducing environment and the platinum content in ovarian cancer cells ES2 treated with cisplatin, Pt(Ⅳ) and NP@Pt(Ⅳ). The proliferation ability of the ovarian cancer cells were detected by 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay. Cellular apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry. Collection of primary ovarian cancer tissues from patients with primary high-grade serous ovarian cancer who were surgically treated at the Cancer Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from October to December 2022. The high-grade serous ovarian cancer patient-derived xenograft (PDX) mice were intravenously injected with Cy7.5 labeled NP@Pt(Ⅳ) followed by in vivo imaging system. Mice were treated with PBS, cisplatin and NP@Pt(Ⅳ). Tumor volume and weight were measured in each group. Necrosis, apoptosis and cell proliferation of tumor tissues were detected by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, TUNEL fluorescence staining and Ki-67 immunohistochemistry staining. Body weight and HE staining of heart, liver, spleen, lung and kidney of mice in each group were measured.Results:The platinum release of NP@Pt(Ⅳ) after 48 hours in reducing environment was 76.29%, which was significantly higher than that of 26.82% in non-reducing environment ( P<0.001). The platinum content in ES2 cells after 4 hours and 7 hours of treatment with NP@Pt(Ⅳ) (308.59, 553.15 ng/million cells) were significantly higher than those of Pt(Ⅳ) (100.21, 180.31 ng/million cells) and cisplatin (43.36, 50.36 ng/million cells, P<0.05). The half inhibitory concentrations of NP@Pt(Ⅳ) in ovarian cancer cells ES2, A2780, A2780DDP were 1.39, 1.42 and 4.62 μmol/L, respectively, which were lower than those of Pt(IV) (2.89, 7.27, and 16.74 μmol/L) and cisplatin (5.21, 11.85, and 71.98 μmol/L). The apoptosis rate of ES2 cells treated with NP@Pt(Ⅳ) was (33.91±3.80)%, which was significantly higher than that of Pt(Ⅳ) [(16.28±2.41)%] and cisplatin [(15.01±1.17)%, P<0.05]. In high-grade serous ovarian cancer PDX model, targeted accumulation of Cy7.5 labeled NP@Pt(Ⅳ) at tumor tissue could be observed. After the treatment, the tumor volume of mice in NP@Pt(IV) group was (130±98) mm 3, which was significantly lower than those in control group [(1 349±161) mm 3, P<0.001] and cisplatin group [(715±293) mm 3, P=0.026]. The tumor weight of mice in NP@Pt(IV) group was (0.17±0.09)g, which was significantly lower than those in control group [(1.55±0.11)g, P<0.001] and cisplatin group [(0.82±0.38)g, P=0.029]. The areas of tumor necrosis and apoptosis in mice treated with NP@Pt(Ⅳ) were higher than those in mice treated with cisplatin. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that there were low expressions of Ki-67 at tumor tissues of mice treated with NP@Pt(Ⅳ) compared with cisplatin. The change in body weight of mice in NP@Pt(Ⅳ) group was not significantly different from that of the control group [(18.56±2.04)g vs.(20.87±0.79)g, P=0.063]. Moreover, the major organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney were also normal by HE staining. Conclusion:Redox-responsive NP@Pt(Ⅳ), produced in this study can enhance the accumulation of cisplatin in ovarian cancer cells and improve the efficacy of ovarian cancer chemotherapy.

Due to the rapid proliferation and growth of tumor cells, hypoxic microenvironment exists in many solid tumors, and hypoxia inducible factors (HIF) are critical for sensing oxygen tension within tumors and subsequently mediating the activation of hypoxia responses. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most hypoxic tumors. This article summarizes the mechanism of action of HIF in promoting the development and progression of HCC by promoting glycolysis, angiogenesis, invasion and metastasis, immune escape, and cancer stem cell formation. At present, the development of targeted drugs for HIF inhibitors has broad prospects in the treatment of HCC, and the detection of HIF also has a potential value in prognostic evaluation HCC.

Many people affected by fragile X syndrome (FXS) and autism spectrum disorders have sensory processing deficits, such as hypersensitivity to auditory, tactile, and visual stimuli. Like FXS in humans, loss of Fmr1 in rodents also cause sensory, behavioral, and cognitive deficits. However, the neural mechanisms underlying sensory impairment, especially vision impairment, remain unclear. It remains elusive whether the visual processing deficits originate from corrupted inputs, impaired perception in the primary sensory cortex, or altered integration in the higher cortex, and there is no effective treatment. In this study, we used a genetic knockout mouse model (Fmr1KO), in vivo imaging, and behavioral measurements to show that the loss of Fmr1 impaired signal processing in the primary visual cortex (V1). Specifically, Fmr1KO mice showed enhanced responses to low-intensity stimuli but normal responses to high-intensity stimuli. This abnormality was accompanied by enhancements in local network connectivity in V1 microcircuits and increased dendritic complexity of V1 neurons. These effects were ameliorated by the acute application of GABAA receptor activators, which enhanced the activity of inhibitory neurons, or by reintroducing Fmr1 gene expression in knockout V1 neurons in both juvenile and young-adult mice. Overall, V1 plays an important role in the visual abnormalities of Fmr1KO mice and it could be possible to rescue the sensory disturbances in developed FXS and autism patients.
