Objective To investigate the relationships between parameters of serum iron metabolism and liver in-flammatory activity grades, and to find out the difference in parameters of serum iron metabolism between patients with hepa-titis B and patients with hepatitis C. Methods A total of 166 patients with viral hepatitis were enrolled in this study, in-cluding 135 case of hepatitis B and 31 cases of hepatitis C. The serum iron metabolism indexes including serum iron (SI), se-rum ferritin (SF), transferring (TRF), total iron binding capacity (TIBC) were collected, and the transferring saturation (TS), al-anine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL) and albumin (ALB) were calculated. Thirty-nine patients were selected from 135 hepatitis B patients by corresponding gender, age and liver function with 31 hep-atitis C patients. The indicators of iron metabolism were compared between two groups. Results There was a positive corre-lation between age , TRF and TIBC. There were positive correlations between SI, SF, TS and ALT, AST, TBIL respectively, and negative correlations between SF, TS and ALB. TRF and TIBC were negatively correlated with ALT, AST and TBIL, but positively correlated with ALB (rs=0.551,P<0.001). The value of SF was significantly higher in patients with hepatitis C than that of patients with hepatitis B. The levels of TRF and TIBC were significantly lower in patients with hepatitis C than those of patients with hepatitis B (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in SI and TS between two groups. Conclu-sion There was a significant correlation between parameters of serum iron metabolism and live inflammatory activity grades. The iron overload phenomenon is much common in patients with chronic hepatitis C than that of patients with chronic hepatitis B.

Aim To investigate the effect of astragalo-side IV ( ASIV) on myocardial energy metabolism and mitochondrial biosynthesis in myocardial cells of dia-betic rats induced by streptozotocin ( STZ ) . Methods
50 SD rats at 6 weeks of age were assigned to 5 groups,10 for each group:control group, model group, ASIV 10 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 group, ASIV 20 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 group, ASIV 40 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 group. Except the control group,the remaining 40 were used to estab-lish type 1 diabetes model by the tail vein injection of STZ (35 mg·kg-1 ) . At the end of 16 weeks of treat-ment, left ventricular systolic pressure ( LVSP ) , left ventricular diastolic final pressure ( LVEDP ) and left ventricular maximum rising/falling rate ( ± dp/dtmax ) were tested. Pathological section was observed by HE staining. ATP, ADP, AMP levels were detected by ELISA. The expressions of PGC-1α and NRF-1 protein were assessed by Western blot. The expressions of PGC-1α and NRF-1 mRNA were determined by RT-PCR. Results Compared with control group, model group markedly elevated LVEDP and decreased LVSP, ± dp/dtmax , ATP/AMP and ATP/ADP ratio. Com-pared with model group, low-dose ASIV group did not change significantly,middle-dose ASIV group and high-dose ASIV group obviously decreased LVEDP, and im-proved LVSP, ± dp/dtmax , ATP/ADP and ATP/AMP ratio. Meanwhile, the expressions of PGC-1α and NRF-1 protein and mRNA were increased in a dose-de-pendent manner. Conclusion ASIV could promote mitochondrial biosynthesis, improve energy metabolism in myocardial cells of type 1 diabetic rats by PGC-1αand NRF-1 .

Objective We investigated the changes of the motorial network in patients suffered from brain tumors adjacent to the central sulcus occurred with reorganization of motor function using function connectivity MRI(fcMRI)technique in order to provide the new evidence for the compensational hypothesis of the reorganization caused by focal lesions.Methods Using 1.5 T MRI unit,14 patients with brain tumors in the vicinity of the central sulcus occurred with reorganization of motor function and 6 normal volunteers were examined with fcMRI technique while the subjects performed no task.By selecting seed voxels(region of interest)in the regions showing the most activation in M1 area on the activated map and cross correlating with every voxel within the brain,the fcMRI maps based on unilateral primary motor(M1)area were calculated.The location,extent and volume of the region showing significant connectivity to the several seed voxel,such as left/right M1 area in the health group and affected/unaffected M1 area in the patient group were evaluated on the fcMRI map.Results In healthy group,the extent and volume of the region showing significant connectivity to the left M1 area[(9514.17±186.92)mm3]were almost similar to those to the right M1 area [(9364.67±382.75)mm3].There showed no significant difference in motor connectivity between the two groups(P>0.05).In the tumor group,the volume of regions showing significant connectivity to the M1 area located in the affected hemisphere [(11193.14±811.29)mm3]was obviously higher than that of regions based on the seed voxel in the unaffected side[(6549.86±400.94)mm3](t=20.383,P＜0.01).The volume was significantly different among the regions showing high connectivity to the M1 of the affected side in patient group.those showing significant connectivity to the left M1 and fight M1 in health group(P＜0.01),the former was the biggest(P＜0.01).The extent of the regions showing connectivity to the affected M1 was consistent with the reorganization area of motor function revealed by fMRI.The volume of regions showing significant connectivity to M1 area of unaffected hemisphere in patient group showed significant difference compared with those showing significant connectivity to the left M1 and right M1 in health group(P＜0.01),the former was smallest(LSD,P＜0.01).especially in the affected hemisphere.It might mean the disrupted functional connectivity between the M1 area of unaffected hemisphere in patient group and motor area located in the collateral side.Conclusion The increased connectivity between the M1 area of the affected hemisphere and the other motor cortex might indicate that the reorganization in the motor pathway and the formation of the potential compensatory network second to the impairment of the normal motor pathway resulted in the functional reorganization of the motor cortex.The fcMRI technique might be a valuable approach to reveal the pathophysiological changes of nerve network caused by brain tumor.

The fatigue, insomnia, exercise compliance, mental stress, and social regression were significantly improved ( t values were 1.44-4.27, P<0.05). Conclusions:Omaha system-based specialized precise nursing intervention can comprehensively evaluate the nursing problems of patients with ACS, can implement precision specialized nursing, can effectively solve the nursing problems of patients, and can promote the recovery of heart function and rehabilitation of patients with ACS.

Chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH) is a potential important pathological factor leading to cognitive impairment in vascular dementia (VaD). The pathological mechanisms are complex and diverse,with cerebral white matter lesions being the main pathological feature,which is present throughout the entire progression of cognitive impairment caused by CCH. Dysfunction of the blood-brain barrier and neuroinflammatory responses caused by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion are important causes of cerebral white matter lesions. This article discusses the relationship between cerebral white matter lesions and VaD and the improvement of cerebral white matter lesions in VaD to slow down its development and progression,and explores the mechanism and therapeutic methods for VaD,aiming to find therapeutic targets of VaD to prevent its occurrence and improve symptoms.
