Objective:To investigate the value of combined detection of serum neurogranin (NG) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma.Methods:Ninety-seven patients with severe craniocerebral trauma from June 2018 to March 2020 in Jinshan Branch of Shanghai Sixth People′s Hospital were selected. According to the Glasgow outcome score (GOS), 97 patients were divided into good prognosis group (GOS>3 scores, 46 cases) and poor prognosis group (GOS ≤ 3 scores, 51 cases). The NG, HIF-1α, Glasgow coma score (GCS), acute physiology and chronic health status score Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) were compared between 2 groups. The independent risk factors of prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma were analyzed by multivariate Logistic regression analysis. The diagnostic efficacy of NG and HIF-1α on poor prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma was analyzed by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The correlation between serum NG, HIF-1α and APACHE Ⅱ in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma was analyzed by Pearson analysis.Results:The GCS in good prognosis group was significantly higher than that in poor prognosis group: (6.50 ± 1.74) scores vs. (4.76 ± 0.78) scores, the NG, HIF-1α and APACHE Ⅱwere significantly lower than those in poor prognosis group: (696.98 ± 158.96) ng/L vs. (875.92 ± 188.52) ng/L, (34.72 ± 13.98) μg/L vs. (51.29 ± 14.17) μg/L and (15.69 ± 3.45) scores vs. (22.58 ± 6.45) scores, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis result showed that the NG, HIF-1α, APACHEⅡ, GCS and type of craniocerebral trauma were independent risk factors on the prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma ( P<0.05 or<0.01). ROC curve analysis result showed that the AUC of NG and HIF-1αNG and HIF-1α combined detection to assess the poor prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma was significantly higher than NG and HIF-1α alone detection (0.873 vs. 0.772 and 0.821, Z = 2.276 and 1.949, P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis result showed that APACHE Ⅱ was positive correlation with serum NG and HIF-1α in severe craniocerebral trauma patients with poor or good prognosis ( r = 0.852 and 0.889, P<0.01; r = 0.717 and 0.851, P<0.01). Conclusions:The combined detection of serum NG and HIF-1α can be used as an evaluation index for the prognosis in patients with severe craniocerebral trauma, which helps to determine the severity of craniocerebral trauma and has great value for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Aim To study the regulation and mechanism of phloroglucinol in bladder smooth muscle spasm. Methods In vitro the experiment used bladder muscle strip to verify the relieving effect of phloro-glucinol on bladder spasm by different drugs. At the same time,RT-qPCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression levels of genes involved in the calcium signaling pathway caused by the antispasmodic effect of phloroglucinol. Results Phloroglucinol could relieve bladder spasm, and the antispasmodic effect was enhanced with the increase of concentration, and the expression of calponin 1 and MYLK3 in tissue cells increased. The results of RT-qPCR showed that the expression of Gprc5b G,Ppp2r5a, Chptl, Prkar2b ,Abcd2 and Rasdl genes in mouse bladder tissue significantly decreased, which was consistent with the sequencing results of RNA-seq.Conclusions Phloroglucinol can relieve bladder smooth muscle spasm, and its mechanism is related to calcium signaling pathway. Meanwhile, phloroglucinol also inhibits the expression of Rasdl gene, suggesting that it may be related to cell cycle , protein phosphorylation, choline metabolism, ATP synthesis and tumor-related pathways.
