ObjectiveTo explore the effects of high fat diet and caloric restriction on brain aging as well as the activity of Acetylcholinesterase(AChE) and afford scientific evidence to rational diet and prevent brain aging.MethodsSixty male ICR mice were randomly divided into 6 groups: the D-galactose-induced brain aging, brain aging plus high fat diet, brain aging plus caloric restriction, high fat diet only, caloric restriction only and normal control groups. Mice were given 100 mg/kg·d subcutaneous injection of D-galactose to prepare brain aging model for 9 weeks. Morris water maze (MWM) test was employed to determine their spatial learning and memory ability. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in brain was determined by hydroxylaminecolorimetric assay.ResultsIn Morris water maze test, brain aging mice showed a significant longer escape latency than the normal control mice (P<0.05). There was no statistical difference in escape latency between brain aging mice plus high fat diet and brain aging mice groups (P>0.05), and between the control and high fat diet groups (P>0.05). Brain aging mice plus caloric restriction exhibited a significant shorter escape latency than brain aging mice (P<0.05), but no difference was found when compared with normal control mice (P>0.05). There were no statistical difference in escape latency between the controls and caloric restriction group (P>0.05). The AChE activity in brain aging, brain aging plus high fat diet and brain aging plus caloric restriction group were higher than those in control and caloric restriction group (P<0.05). There were no statistical difference in AChE activity between the controls and caloric restriction group (P>0.05). Brain aging plus high fat diet were higher than brain aging and other non model control groups.ConclusionHigh fat diet can raise the activity of AChE effectively, but can not influence the capacity of learning and memory in mice. Caloric restriction can improve the capacity of learning and memory in mice, but has no significant influence on the activity of AChE in brain.

Objective:
By comparing different repairing effects of different methods on articular cartilage defects in rabbit model, the ability of a new bioactive glass scaffold to repair cartilage defect was studied.
Methods:
We prepared the PSC/CS bone cement by mixing the bioactive glass (BG) powder composed of 10.8%P2O5-54.2%SiO2-35%CaO (PSC), chitosan solution (CS) and calcium sulfate hemihydrate (CSH), then the bone cement was sized by a mold to form cylindrical scaffold. In vivo experiment, 18 male rabbits were divided into three groups randomly, including blank group, BG group and TGF-β1 group, which was added TGF-β1 into BG scaffold. Both knees of each rabbit were made cartilage defect for the same group, and no intervention was applied in B group, then implanted scaffolds into defects in both experimental groups. At 6 and 12 weeks after surgery, observed the macroscopic growth, histologic staining and collagen II immunohistochemistry (IHC), and the International Cartilage Repair Society (ICRS) and Wakitani score were used to analyze the experimental results quantitatively.
Results:
At 6 weeks after surgery, there was no obvious difference between blank group and BG groups, but the macroscopic result of TGF-β1 group was better than the other two groups and its ICRS score 4.67±0.52 points was statistically higher than BG group 2.83±0.75 points (

Objective To explore PM2.5 concentration modeling and prediction based on the monthly average concentrations of PM2.5 in Shanghai since 2015, and to provide new ideas about PM2.5 prediction methods. Methods The seasonal factors were introduced into the Grey Model (GM). GM(1,1) model modified with seasonal factors was established and compared with seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average model (ARIMA) model. The data of 2015-2021 was used for modeling and prediction, and the data from January to October in 2022 was used as a validation set to evaluate the prediction effectiveness. The monthly average PM2.5 concentrations in Shanghai from November to December in 2022 were predicted. Results Seasonal ARIMA model showed RMSE=4.02 and MAPE=15.50% in the validation set, while GM(1,1) model modified with seasonal factors showed RMSE=3.30 and MAPE=11.59%. GM(1,1) model modified with seasonal factors predicted the monthly average PM2.5 concentrations in Shanghai from November to December in 2022 to be 24.99 and 34.83μg/m3, respectively. Conclusion The prediction effect of GM(1,1) model modified with seasonal factors has better predictive performance than seasonal ARIMA model. The grey prediction model modified with seasonal factors can be considered when predicting seasonal time series such as the concentration of PM2.5.

Objective To analyze the hemodynamic parameters of anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left coronary artery sinus (AORL) based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), so as to make an evaluation of the disease. Methods A normal right coronary artery (RCA) case and an AORL case were selected. Two models were reconstructed in Mimics software and imported into ANSYS CFX software for hemodynamics simulation. The hemodynamics of normal RCA model and AORL model were compared. Results AORL model had a smaller volume flow (9.35 cm3/s), which might lead to insufficient blood supply downstream of the RCA; the pressure at the acute corner of AORL model (13.78 kPa) was lower than normal RCA model (14.9 kPa); the wall shear stress (WSS) of AORL model (12.83 Pa) was larger than that of normal RCA model (9.74 Pa); the total deformation of AORL model was relatively large. Conclusions The entrance velocity and pressure of AORL were lower than those of normal RCA, which might lead to ischemic symptoms. The research findings are of theoretical significance for the effective evaluation of ischemia and other diseases in clinic.

ObjectiveTo understand the current situation of anxiety level and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) nursing needs among residents during the COVID-19 epidemic, and to discuss the relationship between them,so as to provide references for maintaining their mental health. MethodsA total of 560 residents were recruited using convenience sampling method, and the selected individuals completed three questionnaires based on online platform, including self-designed general information questionnaire, Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), and TCM nursing needs questionnaire. Then the correlation between anxiety level and TCM nursing needs was analyzed by Spearman correlation test. ResultsA total of 552 valid questionnaires were collected. The results of GAD-7 showed that the total score was (11.04±3.72), and average score of each item was (1.58±0.53). There were 328 cases (59.4%) without anxiety symptoms, 180 cases (32.6%) with mild anxiety, 33 cases (6.0%) with moderate anxiety, and 11 cases (2.0%) with severe anxiety. The analysis of TCM nursing needs questionnaire showed that the total score was (21.59±7.92), and dominated by the needs of medical knowledge (2.90±1.15) and TCM dietary care (2.82±1.13). The item score and total score of TCM nursing needs questionnaire of residents during the COVID-19 epidemic were positively correlated with GAD-7 total score (r=0.240~0.331, P<0.01). ConclusionResidents suffer from different levels of anxiety during the COVID-19 epidemic, and TCM nursing needs is on the rise, indicating that the anxiety level of residents is correlated with the needs of TCM nursing.

ObjectiveTo study the expression changes of Lon protein and mitochondrial dynamics-related protein in the hippocampus of SAMP8 mice and provide a theoretical basis for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease by invigorating the spleen and supplementing Qi. MethodEight 3-month-old SAMR1 mice were used as the normal group, and 32 3-month-old SAPM8 mice were divided into model group, western medicine group (0.013 g·kg-1), low-dose Si Junziwan group (3.24 g·kg-1), and high-dose Si Junziwan group (12.56 g·kg-1), with 8 mice in each group. The western medicine group was gavaged with donepezil, and the Si Junziwan low- and high-dose groups were gavaged with Si Junziwan for 30 days. The positioning navigation experiment of the water maze was started on the 25th day, and the space exploration experiment of the water maze was started on the 30th day. On the 30th day, the protein expression of mitofusin 2 (MFN2) was detected by immunohistochemistry, the expression of adenosine 5'-monophosphate (AMP)-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the content of ATP was detected by colorimetry, the microstructure of neuron mitochondria was detected by electron microscope, and the expressions of Aβ protein, Lon protein, dynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1) protein, and MFN1 protein were detected by Western blot. ResultAs compared with the normal group, the latency escape period increased, the number of crossings decreased, the expression of AMPK increased, and the content of ATP decreased in the model group. The expressions of Aβ protein and DRP1 protein increased (P<0.01), whereas the expressions of Lon protein, MFN1 protein decreased in the model group (P<0.05,P<0.01), and MFN2 protein decreased. The vacuolation of mitochondria increased and the cristae broke in the model group. As compared with model group, the time of the latent escape period decreased (P<0.01), and the number of crossings increased in the low-dose and high-dose Si Junziwan groups (P<0.05). The expression of AMPK (P<0.01) decreased, the content of ATP increased (P<0.01), the expression of Aβ and DRP1 protein decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01), and the expression of MFN1 protein was up-regulated (P<0.05) in high-dose Si Junziwan groups. The vacuolation was more obvious in the low-dose Si Junziwan group, whereas the vacuolation was restored and the ridge was clear in the high-dose Si Junziwan group. ConclusionSi Junziwan treats Alzheimer's disease by up-regulating the protein expression of Lon, correcting the disorder of mitochondrial division and fusion protein, and changing the memory function of SAMP8 mice.
