Objective To observe the efficacy of pressing Cuanzhu (BL2) in preventing adverse reactions of gastroscopy. Method Eighty-two patients who were going to receive gastroscopy were randomized into two groups, 41 cases in each group. Group A was intervened by pressing Cuanzhu ahead of gastroscopy to prevent the plausible adverse reactions, while group B didn’t receive any interventions before gastroscopy. The adverse reactions of gastroscopy were observed.Result Compared to the blank control group, the intervention group produced a more significant efficacy in preventing the adverse reactions of gastroscopy. Conclusion Pressing Cuanzhu can produce a content efficacy in preventing the adverse reactions of gastroscopy.

Objective To explore the relationship between age-related cerebral white matter changes (ARWMC) and cognitive function, observe the features of cognitive impairment in ARWMC patients, and provide evidences for preventing and treating cognitive impairment in elderly people.Methods Fifty patients with ARWMC were divided into mild-to-moderate group (n= 26, ARWMC score 1-10) and severe group (n= 24, ARWMC score＞ 10) based on the ARWMC scale of CT/MRI scans. Twenty healthy elderly people, who underwent physical examination in hospital, were selected as control group. The cognitive function was evaluated using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA,Beijing version). Cognitive functions were compared between patients with ARWMC at different extents and the controls. The correlation between severity of ARWMC and cognitive function, the characteristics of cognitive impairment in patients with ARWMC were analyzed. Results The cognitive function in patients with ARWMC was impaired significantly (the MoCA scores were 26.60±1.23 in control group, 23. 19±2. 62 in mild-to-moderate group and 19.83±3. 09 in sever group, F =39. 930, P = 0. 000). The severity of ARWMC was negatively related with MoCA score (r =-0. 476, P=0. 000). The patients showed cognitive impairment especially in the visuoconstructional and executive functions (F= 13. 189, P＜0.05), delayed recall (F=32.340, P＜0.05) and orientation (F= 15.813, P＜0. 05). Conclusions ARWMC is related with cognitive impairment.The severity of white matter changes is correlated with worse cognitive function.

Objective To explore the effect of Levetiracetam on Electrocorticogram of epileptic rats induced by lithium-Pilocarpine.Methods Sixteen SD rats were randomly divided into two groups(8 rats in each group),normal saline group and Levetiracetam group.After epileptic model was induced by lithium-Pilocarpine,lateral ventricle was administered with Levetiraeetam and saline by the same volume.The change of frequency of epileptic discharge and different brainwave proportion distribution was observed.Results Compared with normal saline group,the epileptic discharge were significantly decreased(P＜0.01)and the proportion of δ wave was enhanced,meanwhile β wave was decreased in Levetiraeetam group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Levetiracetam has the role of anti-epilepsy in acute model of epileptic rats induced by lithium-Pilocarpine.

Objective To investigate the expression of miR-199b in colorectal cancer and the effect of miR-199b on metastasis of colorectal cancer.Methods The expression of miR-199b in colorectal cancer was assessed by quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR).The miR-199boverexpressed human colon tumor-116 (HCT-116) stable cell lines was constructed by lentivirus assay.The effects of miR-199b on the migration and invasion of colorectal cancer were confirmed by Transwell assay.Bioinformatics,luciferase reporter assay,and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were performed to verify the potential target genes of miR-199b.Results miR-199b was at lower level in cancerous tissues comparing to the corresponding noncancerous tissues.Up-regulation of miR-199b significantly blocked the migration and invasion of colorectal cancer cells.Co-transfection of miR-199b and VEGFA wild type (WT)3'untranslated region (3'UTR) could inhibit the luciferase activity,while there was no significant difference when co-transfection with mutant (MT) 3'UTR.The protein level of vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) after overexpression of miR-199b was repressed,which was validated by ELISA.Conclusions miR-199b was a new colorectal cancer suppressor miRNA,which inhibited tumor migration and invasion by negatively regulating VEGF.

Objective To explore the role and mechanism of mitophagy in ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in rats.Methods Thirty-six adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into three groups (eachn = 12): spontaneous breathing group (CON group), normal tidal volume (VT) group (NVT group, VT was 8 mL/kg) and high VT group (HVT group, VT was 40 mL/kg). All rats received endotracheal tube by tracheostomy. The rats in CON group were maintained spontaneous breathing, while those in NVT and HVT groups received mechanical ventilation with corresponding VT. After 4 hours of ventilation, the serum, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung tissues were harvested. The lung wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio was assessed, and the histopathology changes were observed by light microscopy, and the ultra structure changes in type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cell (AECⅡ) were observed by electron microscopy. The levels of interleukin (IL-1β and IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum and BALF were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The total protein in BALF was measured by bicinchoninic acid methods, and the infiltrated cells in BALF were counted. The mRNA expressions and protein levels of microtube associated light chain 3B (LC3B), mitochondrial DNA coded cytochrome C oxidase Ⅳ (COX-Ⅳ) and nuclear factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65) in lung tissues were determined by real-time fluorescent quantitation reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western Blot.Results The histopathology of lung tissue and the ultra structure of AEC Ⅱ were normal in CON group and NVT group, and the obvious inflammatory changes and pathological injury were found in HVT group. Compared with CON and NVT groups, the W/D ratio in HVT group was significantly increased (8.53±1.05 vs. 5.12±0.65, 5.57±0.55, bothP < 0.05), and total protein, infiltrated cells, and IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in BALF were significantly increased [total protein (g/L): 2.35±0.45 vs. 1.46±0.34, 1.76±0.51; infiltratedcells (×105/mL): 2.05±0.48 vs. 0.40±0.08, 0.60±0.23; IL-1β (ng/L): 119.82±6.56 vs. 76.15±3.32, 79.39±4.44; IL-6 (μg/L): 4.10±0.52 vs. 1.97±0.40, 2.27±0.36; TNF-α (mg/L): 1.49±0.28 vs. 0.43±0.23, 0.61±0.24; all P < 0.05], IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α levels in serum were also elevated [IL-1β (ng/L): 127.53±7.10 vs. 79.40±2.80, 82.95±2.25; IL-6 (μg/L): 6.28±0.82 vs. 2.96±0.35, 3.36±0.72; TNF-α (mg/L): 1.59±0.42 vs. 0.53±0.22, 0.78±0.25; allP < 0.05]. The mRNA expressions and protein levels of LC3B, COX-Ⅳ and NF-κB p65 in lung tissue of HVT group were significantly higher than those of CON group and NVT group, the mRNA expressions of LC3B-Ⅱ, COX-Ⅳ and NF-κB p65 were (3.52±0.90), (3.76±1.16) and (9.54±2.06) folds of those in CON group, and the protein expressions were (1.76±0.24), (1.65±0.20) and (1.91±0.12) folds of those in CON group, with significantly statistical differences (allP < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the parameters mentioned above between NVT group and CON group.Conclusion Mitophagy may be associated with VILI resulting from escaped mitochondrial DNA for activation of inflammation.
