Objective To investigate the role of extracellular signal-regulated kinase in neuronal apoptosis of hippoeampus induced by global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods Ninety healthy male SD rats weighing 280-320 g were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=30 each):groupI sham operation(S);groupⅡI/ R and group Ⅲ PD98059+I/R(PD).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 1% pentobarbital 40 mgkg.Global cerebral I/R was produced by 4-vessel occlusion method.Bilateral vertebral arteries were electrically cauterized and bilateral common carotid arteries were clamped for 5 min.Clamping was then released for reperfusion in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ.In group Ⅲ PD98059(a specific ERK inhibitor)O.3 mg/kg was injected iv before carotid artery clamping.Five animals in each group were sacrificed at 2,6,12,24,48 and 72 h of reperfusion and their brains were removed and cut into sections which were stained with HE and examined under microscope(400 times magnified).Neuronal apoptosis in hippieampal Cal and CA3 regions were detected by TUNEL assay.Apoptotic index(AI) was calculated.Phosphorylated ERK(p-ERK)and phosphorylated Bad (p-Bed)expression was assessed by immuno-histochemistry.Results (1)Hippoeampal pyramidal cells were orderly distributed and morphologically intact in group S but unevenly distributed with widened intercellular space,shrinked cell body and condensed nuclei in I/R group.The I/R induced changes were worse in PD group.(2)AI in Cal and CA3 region was significantly higher in PD group than in I/R group.(3)The p-ERK expression in Cal region was signiticanfly decreased at 2,6,12 h of reperfusion in I/R(Ⅲ)and PD groups(Ⅲ)as compared with group S(I),while p-ERK expression in CA3 region was significantly lower at 2,6,12,24 h of reperfusion in PD group(Ⅲ)than in S(I)and I/R group(Ⅱ).(4)The p-Bed expression in Cal and CA3 regio was signi ficantly lower during reperfusion in PD group than in I/R group and was lowest in group S(I).Conclusion Cerebral isehemia reperfusion can decrease the p-ERK expression and then leads to the dephosphorylation of Bed(a member of Bel-2 protein family),which induced the apeptosis in hippoeampal neurons.

ObjectiveTo monitor the early blood lactic acid concentration of patients with severe trauma who have been experienced routine surgery or damage control surgery,and explore the influence of surgical methods for the early lactate clearance rate.MethodsSelected 40 patients with severe trauma,they were divided into two groups with 20 cases each in accordance with the adopted operation mode,reference group by damage control surgery,and control group by routine surgery.Recorded acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ ) in patients after admission,blood lactic acid concentration at 6 h after admission and admission,calculated the early lactate clearance rate.ResultsIn reference group,blood lactic acid concentration at 6 h after admission was significantly lower than that in control group[ (3.5 ± 1.1 )mmol/L vs.(4.2 ± 1.4) mmol/L,P＜ 0.05 ],early lactate clearance rate was higher than that in control group [ (24.6 ± 6.3 )％ vs.( 11.4 ± 5.3 )％,P＜ 0.05 ].Conclusions Damage control surgery in patients with severe trauma in favour of the early removal of lactic acid,maintaining the homeostasis of the organism,is the key to improve the achievement ratio of treatment with severe trauma.

Objective To investigate the correlation between eigenvalues(λ∥ andλ⊥)of sciatic nerve and limb function in a rabbit model of acute nerve traction inj ury for finding the role ofλ∥ andλ⊥ on diagnosis of nerve inj uries.Methods The right sciatic nerves of 32 Newland rabbits were selected to be performed as traction injury,and then left sciatic nerves were treated as control for the sham operation side.MRI DTI scan was performed before and after the operation on 1 day ,3 day,and 1 week,2,3,4,6 and 8 weeks respectively.Theλ∥ andλ⊥ of inj ured sciatic nerves and sham operated nerves were measured,meanwhile functional exami-nations were evaluated,and then analyzing the correlation betweenλ⊥ of inj ured sciatic nerves and the score of inj ured limb function in the periods of 3 days to 8 weeks;finally different portions of sciatic nerve were removed for histological examinations.Results Theλ⊥ of inj ured sciatic nerves in the proximal portion was slightly increased at 3 days and recovered to the normal at 2 weeks.Theλ⊥ of inj ured sciatic nerves in the traction portion and distal portion were slightly raised at 1 day,reached to its maximum value at 3 days,and then decreased gradually after 1 week and dropped to the pre-operation level after 4 weeks.Theλ⊥ of inj ured sciatic nerves in the proximal portions was significantly higher than that of the sham-operated nerves from 1 day to 1 week(F=7.275,P=0.000). Theλ⊥ of inj ured sciatic nerves in the traction portion and distal portion were significantly higher than that of the sham-operated nerves from 1 day to 3 weeks(F=5.851,F=3.794,P=0.001,P=0.000).However,there was no significantly difference between theλ∥ of inj ured nerves in each portion and sham-operated nerves .The negative correlation between theλ⊥ of inj ured sciatic nerves in the distal portion and the score of the nerve function in the injured limb was found (r=-0.938,r=-0.897,P<0.01).Conclu-sion Theλ⊥ of inj ured nerves in the traction portion and distal portion could monitor the process of degeneration and regeneration of sciatic nerve in traction inj ury,while theλ∥ plays no obvious role in diagnosis of nerve inj uries.

Objective Comparing obturator nerve reflex in different anesthesia,to investigate the incidence of obturator nerve reflex in transurethral resection of bladder tumor.Methods A total of 160 patients with lateral wall of bladder tumors were included,who required a TURBT,were randomly divided into four groups:general anesthesia group (group G),combined spinal-epidural anesthesia group (group C),combined spinal-epidural anesthesia compounding intravenous anesthesia group (group V),combined spinal-epidural anesthesia compounding obturator nerve block group (group O),n =40 in each group.The incidence of obturator nerve reflex was recorded.Results Incidence of obturator nerve reflex in group O (7.5％) was lower than in group C (32.5％,P=0.005) and group V (40.0％,P=0.001).There was no significant difference between group G (5.0％) and group O (P =0.644).Conclusion Both combined spinal-epidural anesthesia with obturator nerve block and general anesthesia can effectively prevent obturator nerve reflex.

Objective? To explore the status quo of pain and quality of life in patients with diabetic foot and to discuss the correlation between pain score and quality of life. Methods? Totally 115 patients with diabetic foot treated in the Department of Endocrinology of a military Class III Grade A hospital in Beijing between January and November 2017 were selected by convenient sampling, and investigated with the general information questionnaire, Numerical Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Diabetes Specific Quality of Life Scale (DSQL). Pearson correlation analysis was used for the quantitative data which conformed to normal distribution, while Spearman correlation analysis was used for the quantitative data which did not conform to normal distribution. Results? The total pain score of the 115 patients with diabetic foot was (5.29±1.86), and the total DSQL score was (53.69±16.78); the pain score, the total score of quality of life and the score in the psychological dimension in the patients aged 60 or above were higher than those in the patients aged under 60 (P＜0.05); pain score was positively correlated with the total score of quality of life and the scores in different dimensions (P＜0.01). Conclusions? Diabetic foot specific pain is an important factor reducing the patients' quality of life. The pain factor shall be treated positively with nursing interventions to improve the quality of life in patients with diabetic foot.

Objective To observe the changes in intradiscal internal internal pressure before and after percutaneous nucleoplasty (PN) in the patients with discogenic low back pain (DLBP),and to explore the mechanism of PN for alleviating DLBP.Methods Thirty patients definitely diagnosed as DLBP undergoing PN in the orthopedic department of this hospital from June 2023 to October 2023 were selected.The internal pressure of the lumbar disc was measured before and after the surgery.The visual analog scale (VAS),Japa-nese orthopedic association score (JOA) and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were used to assess the pain level of the patients before operation and at postoperative 1 d,1 month,3 months.The surgical efficacy was e-valuated by using the modified MacNab criteria.The linear correlation analysis was used to observe the relation-ship between the internal pressure of lumbar disc and changes in each pain score,and the factors possibly affecting postoperative effect was analyzed by using the multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results Compared with be-fore the surgery,the immediate postoperative internal pressure of lumbar disc in the patients was significantly decreased.The JOA scores at postoperative 1 d,1 month and 3 months were significantly increased,while the VAS and ODI scores were significantly decreased,and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). The excellent rates of surgical efficacy at postoperative 1 d,1 month and 3 months were 66.7％,73.3％ and 63.3％,respectively.The internal pressure of lumbar disc difference value between before operation and on postoperative 1 d and internal pressure of lumbar disc decrease rate had no significant correlation with the change value of each pain score (P>0.05).The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the dis-ease duration and the decrease rate of internal pressure of lumbar disc were the influencing factors of clinical efficacy in PN (P<0.05).Conclusion The occurrence of DLBP may be related with the increase of internal pressure of lumbar disc.PN could effectively reduce internal pressure of lumbar disc and achieve the goal of pain relief.

Acute leukemias caused by mixed lineage leukemia(MLL)gene rearrangements(MLL-r)are characterized by high invasiveness and a poor prognosis,with few specific treatment options available.MLL protein is essential in embryonic development and hematopoiesis.It exhibits histone methyltransferase activity and can interact with various proteins through its functional domains,thus regulating downstream target gene expression through epigenetic modifications.MLL-r leads to the formation of MLL fusion proteins(MLL-FPs),in which the C-terminal is replaced by fusion partner proteins;over 100 such partner proteins have been identified to date.In numerous studies of the molecular mechanism,Menin serves as an important cofacter in the leukemogenesis of MLL-FPs and participates in forming the key complex when interacting with the N terminal of MLL protein,resulting in the disregulation of certain targeted genes,which makes the development of Menin-MLL inhibitors theoretically possible.To date,several small molecules have been identified that inhibit Menin-MLL interaction,including thienopyrimidine derivatives,piperidine derivatives,pyrimidine derivatives,and macrocyclic mimic peptides.Based on these prototypes,at least seven drugs are currently undergoing clinical evaluation,with some promising preliminary data regarding safety,tolerability,and efficacy.This review summarizes the structure and function of MLL,the mechanism of the occurrence of MLL-r leukemia,and current Menin-MLL inhibitors tested in MLL-r leukemia.

Objective: To compare the efficacy of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and neo-anastomosis in juxta-anastomotic stenosis of autologous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) of diabetic hemodialysis patients. Methods: Diabetic patients with juxta-anastomotic stenosis in Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from February 2016 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical data, success rate, patency time of PTA and vascular neo-anastomosis were compared. Results: Thirteen patients received PTA, including 1 case of surgical failure and 1 case of thrombosis, and the success rate was 11/13. Vascular neo-anastomosis were performed in 15 cases, and 13 cases succeeded. The success rate was 13/15, and the success rate between two groups had no significant (P > 0.05). The median patency time was 11(7-12) months and 15(5-22) months (P > 0.05). The volume of bleeding [3(2-4) ml vs. 20(10-40) ml], the length of blood vessel wastage [0 vs. (3.6 ± 1.2) cm] and the operating time [(0.6 ± 0.7) h vs. (1.8 ± 0.5) h] of PTA patients were less than those of vascular neo-anastomosis group, and there were significant differences (P < 0.05). Conclusions There are no significant differences between PTA and neo-anastomosis with respect to patency. PTA has the advantages of less vascular injury, shorter operation time, less bleeding and can dilate arteries at the same time.

ObjectiveTo study the brain network during balance control tasks in older adults. MethodsFrom January to April, 2022, 22 healthy young adults and 20 healthy older adults were recruited from the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University and communities. They were asked to finish standing tasks on the plantar pressure plate with eyes opening and closing, while the functional connectivities (FC) of prefrontal cortex (PFC) and primary motor cortex (PMC) were measured with functional near-infrared spectroscopy. ResultsCompared with the young adults, the area of the ellipse (Z = -2.884, P < 0.01) and the maximum swing (Z = -2.481, P < 0.05) increased in the older adults as eyes closing. During the standing task, the intra-FC of left (t = 2.978, P < 0.01) and right (Z = -3.123, P < 0.01) PFC decreased in the older adults, and the inter-FC of right PMC to left PFC (t = 2.087, P < 0.05) and right PFC to left PFC (t = 3.471, P < 0.001) decreased, too. ConclusionThe FC of PFC decreased in healthy older adults during balance control tasks, which may be a indicator for aging brain.
