Purpose To observe the impact of sleep deprivation (SD) for 24 hours on human brain regional homogeneity (ReHo) by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI),and briefly discuss the intervening effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on ReHo after SD.Material and Methods Sixteen healthy individuals were enrolled,and self-controlled study were adopted.Resting-state fMRI scans were performed in wakefulness,after SD,and after tDCS (true or placebo stimuli).The ReHo analysis approach was employed to calculate the ReHo values of whole brain in different states.The differences between before and after SD,and between true and false tDCS after SD,were analyzed.Results Compared with wakefulness,SD mainly enhanced ReHo in brain regions of left precentral gyrus,right precentral gyrus,bilateral temporal lobe and thalamus,but decreased ReHo in brain regions of right precuneus,left superior occipital gyrus,limbic lobe and bilateral angular gyrus,superior frontal gyrus,middle frontal gyrus.Compared with placebo stimuli,the true tDCS enhanced ReHo in brain regions of bilateral precuneus,angular gyrus and right forehead,superior middle gyrus,but decreased ReHo in brain regions of the medial side of left frontal lobe,right precentral gyrus,parahippocampal gyrus,substantia nigra and bilateral temporal lobe,pons and so on.Conclusion SD can cause ReHo change in a large number of brain regions.The tDCS on the prefrontal cortex improves the brain regions with ReHo reduction caused by SD.The improved brain regions mainly include bilateral precuneus/posterior cingulate cortex.Therefore,tDCS on the prefrontal cortex can improve brain dysfunction caused by SD.

AIM　To study the effects of Phe-Met-Arg-Phe-NH2 (FMRFa) on Na+/Ca2+ exchange and its specificity for Na+/Ca2+ exchange in rat ventricular myocytes. METHODS　Na+/Ca2+ exchange current and other currents of ion channels were measured using whole cell voltage clamp techniques. RESULTS　A dose-related inhibition of tetrapeptide FMRFa on Na+/Ca2+ exchange was observed in rat ventricular myocytes. Inward and outward INa+/Ca2+ were inhibited by 60.1% and 56.5%, respectively, at highest concentration (100 μmol*L-1) and its IC50 were 20 μmol*L-1 and 34 μmol*L-1 in inward and outward INa+/Ca2+, respectively. Inward and outward INa+/Ca2+ were inhibited 38.7% and 34.9%, respectively, at FMRFa 5 μmol*L-1. FMRFa 5 μmol*L-1 and 20 μmol*L-1 did not affect L-type calcium current, sodium current, transient outward current and inward rectifier potassium current. CONCLUSION　These data indicate that FMRFa is a specific inhibitor of Na+/Ca2+ exchange in intact rat ventricular myocytes.

Aim To observe the effects of pituitrin ad- ministrated intravenously on electrocardiogram (ECG), and the effects of taurine on the ECG changes induced by pituitrin in conscious unrestrained rats. Methods ECG(leadⅡ)was recorded telemetrically and analyzed with Data Science International (DSI, USA); the changes of the ECG T wave and the heart rate at different times after the intravenous(iv) injection of pituitrin with or without intraperitoneal (ip) pre-administration of taurine were observed and calculated. Results ① Pituitrin 0.25～4.0 U?kg -1 dose-dependently elevated the ECG T wave; the T wave values were increased 0.75～3.42 times over the values before pituitrin, and the maximal effect appeared at 15 s after the injection. ② TAU 100, 200 or 400 mg?kg -1,injected intraperitoneally 30 min before the pituitrin, inhibited the T wave elevation and heart rate decrease induced by intravenous injection of pituitrin; compared with NS+pituitrin group, T wave elevation(mV) was decreased from 1.77?0.165 to 1.60?0.13(P

Objective Recent studies reveal important roles of platelet P-seleetin on progression of atherosclerosis.In the present study,we examine the relation between Platelet P-selectin expression and severity of acute coronary syndromes.Methods One hundredand eighty-four consecutive patients with proven or clinically suspected acute coronary syndromes(ACS)were enrolled in the study.Level of P-selectin expression was determined bv flow cytometry.Platelet P-selectin level was expressed as the percentage of P-selectin positive platelet.Results The level of P-selectin was higher in patients with a single diseased coronary artery or multiplediseased arteries compared to thOSe with normal coronary arteries.P-selectin expression was significantly and positively correlatedwith angiographic Gensini score(r=0.323,P=0.029).Multiple regression analyses showed that the association of the percentage of P-selectin-positive platelets with ACS was independent of other clinical factors. Conclusions Platelet P-selectin is associated withseverity of acute coronary syndromes in patients with acute coronary syndromes.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of norepinephrine and dobutamine (NE+Dobu) on hemodynamics, tissue perfusion and oxygen metabolism in elderly patients with septic shock at different levels of mean arterial pressure (MAP). MethodsAfter aggressive fluid resuscitation,norepinephrine and dobutamine were administered in 18 elderly patients with septic shock to correct hypotension. The rate of dobutamine infusion was 5 ug. kg<'-1>. min<'-1> Norepinephrine was titrated to maintain MAP at levels of 65 mm Hg, 75 mm Hg and 85 mmHg. Four hours later, the changes of hemodynamics, oxygenation index, blood lactate, renal function and gastric pCO<,2> at every MAP level were observed. ResultsThere were no significant differences in heart rate (HR), pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP), volume of oxygen (VO<,2>), Blood lactate, pH value, △pCO<'2> and creatinine clearance rate (CCr) among the MAP levels of 65 mm Hg, 75 mm Hg and 85 mm Hg ( all P>0.05). Compared with MAP 65 mm Hg, cardiac index (CI), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI), oxygen delivery over oxygen extraction ratio were obviously higher at MAP 75 mm Hg and 85 mm Hg [4.7±0.6, 5.1±0.7 vs. 4.0±0.6; 1162±278, 1276±319 vs. 1011±225; (697±53) ml. min<'1>. m<'2>,(711±68)ml. min<'-1>. m<'2> vs. (634±70) ml · min<'-1> · m<'2>; (0.28±0.02)%,(0.27±0.02)% vs. (0.25±0.02) %, respectively, all P<0.05). The urinary output at MAP levels of 65 mm Hg, 75 mm Hg and 85 mm Hg were (98±43)ml/h, (91±54) ml/h and(74±49)ml/h repectively, and only the differences between MAP 75 mm Hg and MAP 65 mm Hg had statistical significance (P<0.05).ConclusionsAfter aggressive fluid resuscitation, hemodynamics and renal function are improved at MAP 75 mm Hg after administration of norepinephrine and dobutamine in elderly patients with septic shock. It should be considered that MAP is appropriately increased in elderly patients with septic shock.

Objective To explore the use of pulse indication contour cardiac output (PiCCO) as a guidance for fluid resuscitation and vasopressors employment in patients with septic shock in order to find out the efficacy of this resuscitation strategy in the respect of outcome of patients. Mtthod A total of 30 patients with septic shock were treated with the EDGT fluid treatment protocol as the conventional treatment group from December 2006 to June 2008; and another 26 patients were given fluid treatment under the guidance of PiCCO as PiCCO group from July 2008 to October 2009. Exclusion criteria included patients with history of heart and lung diseases, and liver and kidney dysfunction. The mean arterial blood pressure was maintained above or equal to 65mmHg in PiCCO group,and fluid resuscitation was concluded when global end-diastolic volume index reached 600～750 mL·-2 with the stroke volume variation in ＜ 10% and without auricular fibrillation. Nor-epinephrine was administrated to adiust the systemic peripheral vascular resistance index during 1300～1500 d·s·cm-5·m-2.Dobutamine was empoyed when global ejection fraction was compromised. The options of liquid and diuretics depend upon the presence d extra-vascular lung water. Central venous oxygen saturation and the level of lactate were observed 6hours after resuscitation. The liquid equilibrium for 3 days and the dosage of vasopressors were also recorded. The rate of survival, the time taken for weaning from mechanical ventilation, the days of ICU stay and rate of intact organ function within 28 days were compared between two groups. Results The demphics of patients of two goups were similar. There were no significant difference between PiCCO and the conventional group in values of central venous oxygen saturation and lactate 6 hours after admission to ICU (P ＞ 0.05). And 6 h and 1d after fluid resuscitation, the dosages of dobutamine and the dosages of nor-epinephrine used in PiCCO group were significantly higher than those in conventional group in which the dosages of dobutamine in two groups were [(145.4±24.5)mg vs. (104.2 ± 46.3) mg and (330.2 ± 30.3) mg vs. (202.4 ± 40.3) mg], respectively, and the dosages of nor-epinephrine [(14.5±3.8) mgvs. (10.2±5.6) mgand (38.2±4.2) rng vs.(20.1±6.2) mg], respectively. However, the dosages of vasopressors were similar between two groups 2 d and 3 d later. The amounts of liquid administered to get equilibrium in 6 h and the 3 d in PiCCO group were significantly less than those in conventional group [(2121±578) mL vs. (2910±987) mL and (3845±435) mL vs. (4545 ± 765) mL and (2467±510) mLvs. (2867±618) mL and (951±332) mLvs. (1472±533) mL], respectively. The days required to get free from mechanical ventilation within 28d were significantly longer in PiCGO group[(19.7 ± 8.3) d vs.(15.1±9.1) d], but the days of ICU stay were significantly shorter in PiCCO group [(7.5 ± 3.5) d vs. (9.5±3.2) d] (P＜0.05). The rates of survival and days free from organ failure within 28 days of two groups were similar(P＞0.05). Conclusions When the early fluid management guided with PiCCO in septic shock patients,the fluid management can be implement more safely and precisely. It can shorten the days of ICU stay and days of mechanical ventilation support with avoidance of fluid resuscitation.

Chronic diseases have grown into a major public health threat affecting social development. The traditional management of chronic diseases tends to characterize " prioritizing treatment and neglecting prevention" . In this study, big data application, knowledge management, knowledge service and other theories and methods in the information management discipline were put in practice of chronic disease management. Thanks to the construction of a multi-source and heterogeneous chronic disease database, a chronic disease health knowledge analysis platform and a chronic disease service application platform, the following objectives were achieved. These included the data interconnections between patients′ self-testing data and medical institutions′ data in chronic disease data management, the integration and accurate delivery of chronic disease health knowledge, and personalized and accurate services covering the whole process of chronic disease management, namely prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.Since August 2019, this management mode has been used to build a diabetes big data platform. By January 2022, 380 million pieces of diagnosis, treatment and management data were collected from about 2.16 million residents, with the accuracy rate of 97.46% and the integrity rate of 96.07%. Corresponding knowledge base and service platform were built, and personalized service was provided to diabetes patients. These measures improvd the awareness rate, treatment rate, treatment control rate, science popularization and communication rate covering both diabetes patients and community residents.

Objective:To investigate the effects and significance of acute and chronic trauma on brain degree centrality (DC) in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who lost their only child at resting state.Methods:Retrospectively, the study enrolled a total of 51 parents with PTSD, including 35 PTSD parents whose children was lost in emergencies (acute bereaved PTSD group) and 16 PTSD parents whose children was lost of chronic causes such as diseases (chronic bereaved PTSD group). Fifty local adults were also included as healthy controls (HC group). The clinical administered PTSD scale(CAPS) was used to evaluate the severity of the subjects' clinical symptoms.Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) data of all subjects were collected and DC values were calculated.SPSS 22.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Covariance analysis was performed among three groups, while post hoc was performed between any two groups.What's more, correlation analyses were utilized between abnormal brain regions and the scores of CAPS.Results:Significant group effects were found in multiple regions, including the right inferior temporal gyrus (MNI: x, y, z=66, -27, -21), right temporal pole (MNI: x, y, z=54, 15, -9), right orbital inferior frontal gyrus (MNI: x, y, z=42, 21, -15), bilateral medial superior frontal gyri (MNI: right x, y, z=6, 63, 12; left x, y, z=-3, 60, 18), left inferior parietal angular gyrus (MNI: x, y, z=-45, -36, 51) and left postcentral gyrus (MNI: x, y, z=-45, -33, 51). Compared with HC group, the DC of two patient groups increased in the right inferior temporal gyrus (MNI: acute x, y, z=63, -27, -21; chronic x, y, z=63, -21, -27); the DC of acute bereaved PTSD group decreased in the right temporal pole (MNI: x, y, z=45, 21, -15) and the right orbital inferior frontal gyrus (MNI: x, y, z=48, 24, -12), while the DC of chronic bereaved PTSD group decreased in the left inferior parietal angular gyrus (MNI: x, y, z=-45, -36, 51) and left postcentral gyrus (MNI: x, y, z=-45, -33, 51). Compared with chronic bereaved PTSD group, the DC of acute bereaved PTSD group increased in the left inferior parietal angular gyrus (MNI: x, y, z=-33, -39, 42) and left postcentral gyrus (MNI: x, y, z=-45, -33, 51), while decreased in the right temporal pole (MNI: x, y, z=51, 12, -9), right orbital inferior frontal gyrus (MNI: x, y, z=42, 21, -15) and bilateral medial superior frontal gyri (MNI: left x, y, z=0, 57, 15; right x, y, z=3, 57, 15). In chronic bereaved PTSD group, the DC of the left postcentral gyrus was negatively correlated with C1 (avoid trauma-related thoughts, feelings) score in CAPS ( r=-0.606, P=0.028). In acute bereaved PTSD group, the DC of the left medial superior frontal gyrus was negatively correlated with D4 (high vigilance) score ( r=-0.416, P=0.020). Conclusion:There exist functional abnormalities of multiple brain regions in acute and chronic bereaved parents with PTSD.The high arousal symptoms of the former may be related with the abnormalities of prefrontal-amygdala neural circuit, while the latter show higher avoidance which may be associated with the dysfunction of somatosensory brain regions such as postcentral gyrus.

Objective:To investigate the effect of coping style on the gray matter volume in patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) who lost their only child, and the mediating role of gray matter volume in evaluating the influence of coping style in clinical symptoms of these parents.Methods:A total of 57 parents with PTSD (PTSD group) and 162 parents without PTSD (non-PTSD group) who lost their only child from September 2016 to March 2017 were enrolled from Jiangsu Province, China. Brain MRI data at resting state were collected. Voxel-based multiple regression analysis was performed to confirm the brain areas in which coping style main effect, diagnosis main effect and their interaction had significant influences in gray matter volumes. Correlations among gray matter volume of brain areas related to coping style, coping style scale scores, and clinician-administered PTSD scale (CAPS) scores were analyzed. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the mediating role of gray matter volume in the influence of coping style in clinical symptoms of parents lost their only child.Results:(1) The coping style main effect did not significantly influence the gray matter volume in all subjects, and the diagnosis main effect had significant influence in gray matter volume in the right lingual gyrus; their interaction had significant influence in gray matter volume in the right peritalar fissure cortex and lingual gyrus. The positive coping style in the PTSD group had significant influence in the gray matter volumes of the right peritalar fissure cortex and lingual gyrus. (2) In the PTSD group, the scores of positive coping style were positively correlated with the gray matter volumes of the right talus fissure and the lingual gyrus ( P<0.05); the scores of positive coping style, and the gray matter volumes of the right talus fissure and the lingual gyrus were negatively correlated with scores of CAPS-C 5 and CAPS-C ( P<0.05). (3) In the PTSD group, positive coping style can positively predict the gray matter volumes of the right talus fissure and the lingual gyrus; the gray matter volumes of the right talus fissure and the lingual gyrus can negatively predict the avoidance-related symptoms. Conclusion:Positive coping style has influence in the gray matter volumes of the right talar fissure and lingual gyrus of PTSD patients lost their only child; and less positive coping style may affect the brain areas related to visual information processing, thus aggravating avoidance-related symptoms of PTSD patients.
