BACKGROUND: As indicated by transplantation experiments in recent years, correlative neural active substances could be synthesized in the transplanted retina(TP); however, the growth and development situation of neural active substance positive neurons in TP is unclear.OBJECTIVE: To observe the differentiation and development of the neuron,and the biosynthesis of neural active substance in TP and its relationship with environment and visual center to explore the rule of development of nerve tissue and its regeneration and plasticity.DESIGN: An observatory comparative study based on animals.SETTING: Department of histology and embryology of two universities.MATERIALS: The study was conducted in the Experimental Animal Center of Guangzhou Medical College between August 2002 and March 2003. Totally 96 healthy SD rats in either gender were selected.INTERVENTIONS: Embryonal 14-day SD retina was transplantedin-between the epithalamus and hypothalamus of the midbrain in P1 rat and the right eye of the P1 rat was removed simultaneously. The development time of TP on the 9th day after operation was corresponding to the normal retina on the 1st day after born, which was then recorded as TP1, and so on. The development and differentiation was shown by histochemical method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Development and morphological observation of TP and neurons in TP.RESULTS: TP had the same structure of each layer as normal retina and its similar growth and development rule, which also could synthesize relative neural active substance. Nitricoxide synthase(NOS) -positive neuron in TP started at TP4 and reached its peak at TP12, but the number of positive neurons was kept on a relative low level after TP22.CONCLUSION: Embryonal retina could survive and remain its original growth and development rule after intracerebral transplantation, which has same structural characters as normal retina.

This article was aimed to study the therapeutic effect of Chinese medicine Kun-Bao-W an (KBW) on sleep disorders among ovariectomized mice. A total of 60 female KM of adult mice were randomly divided into four groups, which were the sham-operated group, model group, diazepam group, and KBW group, with 15 rats in each group. Rats in the sham-operated group were only removed small amount of fatty tissue around the ovaries. Bilateral oophorectomy was given on mice in other groups. In the KBW group, 28 days after the operation, KBW was intragastrically administered (1.667 g·kg-1) every day for 28 days. Mice in the diazepam group were intragas-trically administered (1.25 g·kg-1) 1 h before testing. The observation was made on effects of KBW on locomotor activity, sleeping time of mice induced by pentobarbital sodium and the organ coefficients of uterus. The results showed that compared with sham-operated group, locomotor activity and rearing behavior increased obviously in the model group (P < 0.01). The diazepam group can significantly reduce locomotor activity in ovariectomized mice (P < 0.01), and decrease the number of rearing behavior mildly with no statistical difference. KBW can reduce lo-comotor activity mildly but without effect on rearing behavior in ovariectomized mice. Diazepam can markedly pro-long the pentobarbital sleep time in ovariectomized mice (P < 0.01). KBW can prolong the pentobarbital sleep time and shorten the process of falling into sleep mildly with no statistical difference. There was no significant ef-fect on organ coefficients of uterus in ovariectomized mice by KBW or diazepam. It was concluded that KBW had mild effect on improving sleep disorders in ovariectomized mice.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a digestive tract tumor that occurs in the epithelial tissues of the gastric mucosa, seriously affecting the life and health of patients, and its mortality rate ranks the third among malignancies. Although medical technology has made great progress in recent years, the progression of GC still cannot be effectively controlled by surgery, chemotherapy, and targeted therapy. The pathogenesis of GC is extremely complex and is closely related to the tumor microenvironment, chronic inflammation, and immune escape, among which the reduction of tumor cell apoptosis is one of the important mechanisms for the occurrence and development of GC. Apoptosis refers to the process of spontaneous termination of cell life caused by genes under specific physiological or pathological conditions, which is of great significance for maintaining the stability of the internal environment. Researchers have found that in the GC state, mitochondrial endogenous apoptosis, endoplasmic reticulum stress, external death receptors, and other apoptosis pathways are regulated by multiple signaling pathways and genes, which together lead to the decline of GC cell apoptosis rate and thus promote the progression of GC. Chinese medicine is advantageous and characterized by multiple components, multiple targets, synergistic effect, and few adverse reactions. A large number of studies have shown that polysaccharide components, as effective components of Chinese medicine, have biological activities such as cancer inhibition, blood sugar control, anti-inflammation, antioxidant damage, and anti-virus, and can effectively inhibit the deterioration of GC by inducing cell apoptosis, gradually becoming a hot spot in GC drug research and development. However, systematic reviews on the apoptosis of GC induced by Chinese medicine polysaccharides are rarely reported. Therefore, this paper analyzed and summarized the studies of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in promoting apoptosis and interfering with GC, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the basic research, new drug development, and clinical application of Chinese medicine polysaccharides in the intervention of GC.

During the COVID-19 epidemic, our national guidelines have suggested that surgical patients should wear a mask to decrease the potential transmission of COVID-19 in the operating room, as long as the condition allows. However, so far, there is no study to discuss the influence of wearing a mask on the ventilation and blood oxygenation status in patients of spontaneous breathing with supplementary oxygen through an anesthetic facemask. This is a before-after study in the same patient, and 10 healthy volunteers were recruited, by testing the arterial blood gas parameters at key time points before and after oxygen inhalation to evaluate the effects of two different supplementary oxygen methods ('disposable medical mask + anesthetic facemask' and 'anesthetic facemask only') on the oxygenation of subjects. Our data demonstrated whether wearing a disposable medical mask or not could effectively increase the oxygen supply of the subjects compared with the basic value before oxygen inhalation; however, compared with the group without mask, the arterial oxygen partial (PaO

While neuroblastoma accounts for 15% of childhood tumor-related deaths, treatments against neuroblastoma remain scarce and mainly consist of cytotoxic chemotherapeutic drugs. Currently, maintenance therapy of differentiation induction is the standard of care for neuroblastoma patients in clinical, especially high-risk patients. However, differentiation therapy is not used as a first-line treatment for neuroblastoma due to low efficacy, unclear mechanism, and few drug options. Through compound library screening, we accidently found the potential differentiation-inducing effect of AKT inhibitor Hu7691. The protein kinase B (AKT) pathway is an important signaling pathway for regulating tumorigenesis and neural differentiation, yet the relation between the AKT pathway and neuroblastoma differentiation remains unclear. Here, we reveal the anti-proliferation and neurogenesis effect of Hu7691 on multiple neuroblastoma cell lines. Further evidence including neurites outgrowth, cell cycle arrest, and differentiation mRNA marker clarified the differentiation-inducing effect of Hu7691. Meanwhile, with the introduction of other AKT inhibitors, it is now clear that multiple AKT inhibitors can induce neuroblastoma differentiation. Furthermore, silencing AKT was found to have the effect of inducing neuroblastoma differentiation. Finally, confirmation of the therapeutic effects of Hu7691 is dependent on inducing differentiation in vivo, suggesting that Hu7691 is a potential molecule against neuroblastoma. Through this study, we not only define the key role of AKT in the progression of neuroblastoma differentiation but also provide potential drugs and key targets for the application of differentiation therapies for neuroblastoma clinically.
