Objective To observe the chemical camouflage effects of methoxy polyethylene glycol(mPEG) on like human B antigens on Rhesus monkey red blood cell(rRBC) and to study the safety of transfusion with mPEG modified monkey RBC(mPEG rRBC).Methods rRBC were modified with 3mg/ml mPEG. The rRBC blood group and the effects of mPEG modification on blood conversion were assayed by absorption and elution methods.The structural and functional changes of mPEG rRBC were also tested.The survival fraction of mPEG modified like B rRBC in like A recipient monkey were examined by flow cytometry.The transfusion effects of mPEG modified rRBC on recipient's blood and urine were also observed.Results mPEG have been covalently bound to the surface of Rhesus monkey RBC (like human B blood group),mPEG could cover rRBC like B antigen.Transfusion of mPEG modified like B rRBC to like A Rhesus monkey had no harmful effects on the recipient.Conclusion The present study suggests that transfusion of mPEG modified RBC could be safety in experimental animals

Objective: To observe the protective effect of salidroside pretreatment on rabbit heart after limb ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Methods: A total of 24 New Zealand rabbits were randomly and equally divided into sham operation group, I/R + placebo group (I/R group)and salidroside pretreatment group(salidroside group). Before establishment of rabbit models of limb I/R, salidroside group received salidroside injection via ear marginal vein, and I/R group received saline injection, once a day for three days. After model establishment, echocardiography was used to evaluate rabbit cardiac function of each group 4h after reperfusion, including left ventricular end-systolic dimension (LVESd), left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular fractional shortening (FS). Blood sample was taken to measure serum cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. Some ventricular tissue homogenates were taken to measure levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malonyl diadehyde (MDA). Then heart sample was taken to receive pathological examination. Results: Compared with I/R group 4h after reperfusion, there were significant decrease in LVESd [(0.69±0.07) mm vs. (0.62±0.05) mm] and significant increase in LVEF [(64.6±3.4) % vs. (72.1±3.6) %], FS [(34.2±3.2) % vs. (41.7±3.4) %] (P<0.05 all), but these indexes of salidroside group were all no significant different than those of sham operation group (P>0.05). Compared with I/R group, there were significant decrease in cTnI [(5.24±0.34) μg/ml vs. (1.06±0.12) μg/ml], MDA [(8.92±2.18) μmol/L vs. (6.79±1.43) μmol/L] and TNF-α [(37.43±10.02) pg/ L vs. (19.73±6.31) pg/ L], and significant increase in SOD level [(16.61±3.75) U/ml vs. (22.26±4.73) U/ml] in salidroside group (P<0.05 all). Pathological results indicated that injury degree in salidroside group was significantly attenuated than that of I/R group. Conclusion: Salidroside pretreatment could protect cardiac function and relieve rabbit cardiac injury after limb ischemia/reperfusion.

By summarizing and analyzing the research status of the influence of needling different acupoints on heart rate variability (HRV) and autonomic nervous function, it is found that Neiguan (PC 6), Zusanli (ST 36) and Shenmen (HT 7) are common acupoints for HRV analysis involving Tongli (HT 5), Hegu (LI 4), Taichong (LR 3), Zhongwan (RN 12), Danzhong (RN 17), Xinshu (BL 15), Shenshu (BL 23) and other acupoints. Different acupoints have different influences on HRV but followed by some rules, which are possibly related to the efficacy of acupoints, meridian tropism and acupoint distributions. Needling on the same acupoint also has different influences on HRV, which is possibly affected by sample size, intervention object, data processing method and other factors, so more standardized measurement process is required in further studies.

Objective:To analyze the effect of traditional Chinese medicine emotional nursing combined with scenario-based cognitive function training in patients with cognitive impairment secondary to stroke, providing a practical reference for improving patients′cognitive function, anxiety and depressive mood, ability to live and quality of life.Methods:This study was a quasi experimental study. The 106 patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) admitted to Zhuhai People′s Hospital (Jinan University Affiliated Zhuhai Hospital) between January 2019 and October 2021 were selected by convenience sampling method and randomly divided into the control group and the observation group (53 cases in each group). The control group used conventional cognitive function training and the observation group used traditional Chinese medicine emotional care combined with scenario-based cognitive function training. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores, Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE) scores, Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) scores, Self-ratingAnxiety Scale (SAS) scores, self-care rate (assessed byActivity of Daily Living scale, ADL), and Generic Quality of Life Inventory-74(GQOLI-74) scores were compared between the two groups before and after the intervention.Results:After the intervention, the MoCA and MMSE scores of the observation group were 24.34 ± 2.18 and 25.98 ± 4.16, which were higher than the 20.41 ± 3.16 and 22.18 ± 4.21 in the control group, the differences were significant ( t = - 7.45, - 4.67, both P<0.05). The SDS and SAS scores of the observation group were 24.46 ± 3.46 and 27.18 ± 3.31, which were lower than the 39.15 ± 4.15 and 39.87 ± 4.70 in the control group, the differences were significant ( t = 16.07, 19.79, both P<0.05). The self-care rate in the observation group was 94.34% (50/53) higher than 81.13% (43/53) in the control group, the difference was significant ( χ2 = 4.30, P<0.05). The quality of life in the four dimensions of physical life, social functioning, psychological functioning, and somatic functioning in the observation group were (85.88 ± 4.14), (71.85 ± 4.10), (82.77 ± 3.44) and (88.51 ± 4.79) points, which were higher than the (73.48 ± 4.11), (66.48 ± 3.57), (75.49 ± 3.80) and (79.54 ± 4.60) points in the control group, the differences were significant ( t values were - 15.48 - - 7.19, all P<0.05). Conclusions:Traditional Chinese medicine emotional nursing combined with scenario-based cognitive function training can improve cognitive function, anxiety and depression in patients with cognitive impairment secondary to stroke, and improve patients′ability to live and quality of life level.
