Objective To study the therapeutic mechanism of medication p erfusion by femoral artery for the femoral head necrosis induced by glucocortico id experimentally. Methods Forty eight of New Zealand rabbits were used for esta blishing the model of femoral head necrosis. The rabbits were injected 50 ? g/ kg LPS in 24h twice intravenously, and methy prednisolone intramuscularly thre e times. The animals were divided into three groups: arterial group which was pe rfused urokinase 30 thousands units and 2 ml red sage root by left femoral arter y; venous group which was perfused urokinase 30 thousands units and 2 ml red sa ge root by era marginal vein; control group which was perfused normal saline. Mi crovessels ink perfusion and pathological examination were adopted to observed t he changes of the femoral head.The ratio of empty lacuna, fatty embolism, thromb us, VEGF positive osteoblast, chondrocyte and blood vessel in the subchondral pl ate were measured by means of HE, sudanⅢ , PTAH and immunohistochemistry in dif ferent periods (1,2,3,4weeks) after the medication perfusion.Results The treatme nt of urokinase and methyl- prednisolone could reduce the ratio of empty lacuna , fatty embolism, thrombus and increase the ratio of VEGF positive osteoblast, c hondrocyte and blood vessel, but the effects of femoral medication perfusion wer e more efficiency and quickly than vein injection. Conclusion The mechanisms con sist in re passing the blocked vessel by dissolving fatty embolism and thrombu s, accelerating the vascular developing and ossification by promoting the exudat ion of VEGF.

[Objective] To investigate the difference of bone Absorption function of the rat osteoclast(OC) in different cultural methods, and the difference in the levels of mRNA expression of bone Absorption key gene, ATPase a3 gene, and provide the basis for further investigation on the OC in vitro. [Methods] with mechanical separation method, mature osteoclast was separated from inner wall of 24 hours newborn rat long bones medullary cavity; and induction culture methods, bone marrow cell was induced to osteoclast like cell(OLC) by using 1,25(OH)2D3.The morphological and functional change of osteoclast was observed and the difference in the level of ATPase a3 mRNA expression was determined.[ Result]OC and OLC are multinucleated giant cells, which can be stained positive by potartrate resistant acid phosphatase(TRAP), and can form bone Absorption lacuna. The number of OLC in induction method is more than in mechanical separation method, but bone Absorption lacuna is smaller and shallower than the early stage of induction. The late stage of OCL is extremely similar to OC. There is no significant difference of ATPase a3 mRNA expression from the cells between mechanical separation 8 hour and induction culture 6 days, but either of them is significantly less than inducing 8 days. [Conclusion]Induction method can produce a large number of OLC which is superior to mechanical separation method, but its bone resorption function is weaker in the earlier stage, because bone resorption function is associated with the number of nucleus. The late stage of OCL is extremely similar to OC of mechanical separation method. And it can be used in any experiments.

This study was aimed to optimize the near infrared (NIR) variable selection method based on multivariate detection limit (MDL). Using Qing-Kai-Ling (QKL) injection as object, three variable selection methods (interval par-tial least-squares, iPLS; backward interval partial least squares, BiPLS; moving window interval partial least squares, mwPLS) were used to establish the PLS models of baicalin in QKL injection, respectively. The prediction ability of different variable selection method was compared. MDL of all models were calculated in contrast to the MDL value of full spectra PLS model, to select optimal variable selection method. The results showed that different variable selec-tion methods had different prediction ability. Among them, iPLS had the best performance which determination coef-ficient of prediction (Rpre2) and the root mean square errors of prediction (SEP) were 0.996 5 and 602.3 μg·mL-1, re-spectively. All MDLs of different variable selection methods were reduced compared with the full spectra PLS model. The value of iPLS was the lowest comes to be 1.19 μg·mL-1. The results above indicated that the best variable se-lection method for baicalin in QKL injection was iPLS. MDL theory took the error of calibration and validation set and the leverage of external sample into account, which can comprehensively evaluate model detection performance compared to the classic chemical indicator parameters. This method was particularly suitable for the variable selec-tion method optimization of NIR quantitative model of low concentration sample such as Chinese herbal medicine.

Neural oscillation is rhythmic or repetitive neural activity in the central nervous system that is usually generated by oscillatory activity of neuronal ensembles, reflecting regular and synchronized activities within these cell populations. According to several oscillatory bands covering frequencies from approximately 0.5 Hz to >100 Hz, neural oscillations are usually classified as delta oscillation (0.5-3 Hz), theta oscillation (4-12 Hz), beta oscillation (12-30 Hz), gamma oscillation (30-100 Hz) and sharp-wave ripples (>100 Hz ripples superimposed on 0.01-3 Hz sharp waves). Neural oscillation in different frequencies can be detected in different brain regions of human and animal during perception, motion and sleep, and plays an essential role in cognition, learning and memory process. In this review, we summarize recent findings on neural oscillations in hippocampus, as well as the mechanism and function of hippocampal theta oscillation, gamma oscillation and sharp-wave ripples. This review may yield new insights into the functions of neural oscillation in general.

Objective:To compare the efficacy and safety of venetoclax (VEN) combined with azacitidine (AZA) versus CAG regimen combined with decitabine (DAC) in elderly patients with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML).Methods:From January 2018 to August 2020, the clinical data of forty-five elderly patients with relapse AML at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University were retrospectively analyzed, including 31 males and 14 females. The median age was 66 (60-80) years old. Eighteen patients were administrated with VEN and AZA, while the other 27 were in CAG with DAC. The complete remission (CR) rate, partial remission (PR) rate, total remission rate (ORR), adverse events and overall survival (OS) were compared between the two groups.Results:At the end of the treatment, the ORR in VEN with AZA group was 77.8% (14/18); including 11 CR and 3 PR. In CAG with DAC group, the ORR was 37.0% (10/27); including 8 CR and 2 PR ( P=0.007). Subgroup analysis suggested that VEN with AZA had a higher ORR in patients stratified as intermediate and poor-risk ( P=0.013) or with DNA methylation mutations ( P=0.007). Main adverse events in both groups were bone marrow suppression, infections, nausea and vomiting, anorexia and fatigue. Grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ cytopenia developed in lower incidence of VEN with AZA group, such as leukopenia (66.7% vs. 100%, P=0.002), anemia (50.0% vs. 92.6%, P=0.002), thrombocytopenia (72.2% vs. 96.3%, P=0.031) and neutropenia (61.1% vs. 92.6%, P=0.014). In addition, less grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ infections occurred in VEN with AZA group (66.7% vs. 33.3%, P=0.028), as well as grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ gastrointestinal events (40.7% vs. 11.1%, P=0.032), grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ fatigue (55.6% vs.11.1%, P=0.003) compared with CAG with DAC group. The 1-year OS in VEN with AZA group versus CAG with DAC group was 42.9% and 31.6% respectively ( P=0.150). Conclusion:VEN combined with AZA proves favorable efficacy and tolerablity in elderly patients with relapsed AML.

ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effect of Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang on the migration of dendritic cells (DCs) in mice and its underlying mechanism. MethodMouse bone marrow-derived DCs were isolated and cultured. The morphological changes of the cells at different stages were observed under a microscope, and the CD11c+ proportion was detected by flow cytometry to identify DC purity. Cells were treated with Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang (1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 50, 100 g·L-1) for 24 hours, and the effect of Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang on cell proliferation was assessed using the cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay to determine the appropriate concentrations for treatment. After modeling by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induction, DCs were divided into a blank group, a model group, and Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang groups (2, 4, 8 g·L-1). The expression of surface molecules CD80, CD86, and major histocompatibility complex-Ⅱ (MHC-Ⅱ) were detected by flow cytometry. Transwell chamber assay was used to observe cell migration. The levels of chemokine C-C-primitive receptor 7 (CCR7) and chemokine C-X-C-primitive receptor 4 (CXCR4) on the cell surface were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expression of filamentous actin (F-actin) in the cell microfilament cytoskeleton was detected by immunofluorescence (IF) staining. Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR) was employed to determine the mRNA expression levels of Ras homolog family member A (RhoA) and Rho-associated coiled-coil containing protein kinase 1 (ROCK1). Western blot analysis was performed to detect the protein expression of RhoA and ROCK1. ResultCompared with the blank group, the model group exhibited significantly higher expression levels of CD80, CD86, and MHC-Ⅱ (P<0.01), a significantly increased number of cells migrating to the lower chamber (P<0.01), and significantly elevated levels of CCR7 and CXCR4 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Additionally, F-actin expression was significantly increased (P<0.01), and both RhoA and ROCK1 mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly higher (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, treatment with Mahuang Xixin Fuzitang (2, 4, 8 g·L-1) for 24 hours resulted in significantly lower expression levels of CD80, CD86, and MHC-Ⅱ (P<0.01), a significantly reduced number of cells migrating to the lower chamber (P<0.05), and significantly decreased levels of CCR7 and CXCR4 (P<0.05, P<0.01). Furthermore, F-actin expression was significantly reduced (P<0.01), and both RhoA and ROCK1 mRNA and protein expression levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05, P<0.01). ConclusionMahuang Xixin Fuzitang can inhibit the migration of DCs in mice, and its mechanism of action may be related to reducing the activity of the Rho/ROCK signaling pathway, thereby affecting changes in the cell cytoskeleton.
