Objective To evaluate the effect of lentinan polysaccharide (LPS) on Alzheimer's disease (AD) rats, and providing a new idea for prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease (AD).Methods 96 SPF rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, LPS low dose-treated group, LPS middle dose-treated group, LPS high dose-treated group and positive control group(piracetam treated), each had 16 rats.The model of AD was induced by injection of Aβ25-35(80 pmol/μL), rats in four treatment groups were treated with LPS (200 mg/kg), LPS (400 mg/kg), LPS (600 mg/kg) and piracetam(600 mg/kg) orally once a day for 60 days while control group and model group were given equal-dose saline.After treatment, the ability of navigation and memory were evaluated by water maze test (MWM), and then rats in all groups were sacrificed to obtain the hippocampus.HE staining was used to observe the histopathological changes, the expressions of TACE,Aβ,BACE1 and PP2A protein in hippocampus were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with the model group, high dose LPS could significantly improve the ability of learning and memory (P<0.01) and improve the ability of locating navigation (P<0.01).HE staining results showed that LPS treatment could repair the rat hippocampus injury induced by Aβ25-35 .Western blot analysis showed that the levels of Aβ, and BACE1 were down-regulated in LPS group compared with the model group, while the protein level of PP2A and TACE was up-regulated.Conclusion LPS has a protective effect on Aβ25 -35 induced AD model, and it is expected to be a strategy for treatment of AD .

Objective To investigate the changes in the expression of GABAAα1, receptors in medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) in a rat model of neuropathic pain. Methods Nine male Wistar rats weighing 200-210 g were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 3 each): control group (group C) , sham operation group (group S) and neuropathic pain group (group P). Neuropathic pain was induced by chronic constrictive injury. The right sciatic nerve was exposed and 4 loose ligatures were placed on the sciatic nerve at 1 mm intervals with 3-0 chromic catgut. In group S, the right sciatic nerve was exposed but not ligated. The thermal and mechanical pain threshold was measured at 1 d before and 1,4,7, 10 and 14 d after operation. The animals were then sacrificed and the mPFC was removed. The expression of GABAAα1, receptors in mPFC was determined by Western blot. Results Compared with C and S groups, thermal and mechanical pain threshold were significantly decreased and the expression of GABAAα1, receptors was up-regulated in group P ( P ＜ 0.01) . There was no significant difference was in the thermal and mechanical pain threshold and expression of GABAAα1 receptors between C and S groups (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion Up-regulation of GABAAα1 receptor expression in mPFC may be involved in the development and maintenance of neuropathic pain in rats.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy of sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation with acupuncture for moderate-to-severe perennial allergic rhinitis.MethodsA total of 50 patients were recruited into a sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation group and a routine acupuncture group according to order of presentation, with 25 in each group. The sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation group received sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation with filiform needle, 1-2 sessions/week for 4 weeks. The routine acupuncture group received traditional acupuncture, withyingxiang(LI 20),yintang(GV29),fengchi(GB20),fengfu(GB16),zusanli(ST36) as the maln points, andyingxiang(LI 20),yintang(GV29),fengchi(GB20),fengfu(GB16),zusanli(ST36) as the adjunct points, 1-2 points from both the maln and adjunct points in each session, 2 sessions/week for 4 weeks. The nasal symptom score (2004 version), the total nasal symptom score (TNSS) and the total non-nasal symptom score (TNNSS) were used to evaluate symptom improvement. The Rhinoconjunctivitis Quality of Life Questionnalre (RQLQ) was used to assess the patients’ quality of life. The time to symptom alleviation, duration of symptom alleviation in every session and the recurrence duration during 1 month after the treatment were compared between the two groups.Results After the treatment, the score of the nasal symptom score (99.74 ± 31.89vs.196.83 ± 31.22;t=-4.912,P=0.001), TNSS (33.63 ± 12.37vs.71.82 ± 19.21;t=-3.463,P=0.003), TNNSS (33.63 ± 12.37vs.71.82 ± 19.21,t=-3.463,P=0.003) in the sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation were significant lower than those in the routine acupuncture group. Compared with the routine acupuncture group, the time to symptom alleviation was significant shorter (13.85 ± 4.21 minvs.45.63 ± 7.87 min;t=-1.763,P=0.008), while the duration of symptom alleviation was significant longer (37.92 ± 9.94 hvs.3.35 ± 1.23 h;t=7.637,P<0.01) after each session in the sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation group. Four weeks after the treatment, RQLQ score in the sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation group was significant lower than that in the routine acupuncture group (8.48 ± 3.71vs.37.68 ± 12.46;F=-7.312,P<0.01). The recurrence duration during 1 month after the treatment in the sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation group was significant longer than that in the routine acupuncture group (4.12 ± 2.15 dvs.23.53 ± 4.63 d;t=-8.879,P=0.003).ConclusionSphenopalatine Ganglion stimulation is superior to routine acupuncture in treatment of patients with moderate-to-severe perennial allergic rhinitis.

Objective:To explore the expression of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)and its relationgship with the prognosis of breast cancer,and to provide evidence-based basis for the using of mTOR inhibitor in the treatment of breast cancer.Methods: A systemical literature search was conducted based on the following databases:PubMed,EMBbase,Cochrane Library,ISI Web of Science,and CNKI up to November 24,2015.The outcome measures were hazard ratio (HR)with 95% confidence interval (CI) for the association between the mTOR expression and the prognosis of patients with breast cancer.The primary end points including disease-free survival (DFS ), and overall survival (OS ). STATA 12.0 was used to conduct the statistical analysis. Results:A total of seven cohort studies,1 758 patients were included. The risk of recurrence and metastasis of the breast cancer patients with positive expression of mTOR was 2.05 times of the patients with negative expression of mTOR (HR= 2.05, 95% CI: 1.01 - 4.13,P = 0.003);the risk of death in the breast cancer patients with positive expression of mTOR was 2.63 times of the patients with negative expression of mTOR (HR = 2.63, 95%CI:1.45-4.80,P = 0.736).Conclusion:The positive expression of mTOR can significantly increase the recurrence,metastasis and death risk of the patients with breast cancer.

Objective To evaluate the changes of diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) parameters with time in cerebral in farction patients,and contrast with diffusion tensor imaging (DWI).Methods DWI and DKI scans were performed in 95 patients of cerebral infarction.The patients were divided into five groups according to the time of cerebral infarction:Hyperacute phase (n=10),acute phase (n=12),early subacute phase (n =33),late subacute phase (n =20) and chronic phase (n =20).Parameters of DKI were obtained,and the parameters and percentage change of diffusion metrics from normal to ischemic tissue were compared.The evolution rule of parameter with time was analyzed.Results Mean kurtosis (MK),axial kurtosis (K//),radial kurtosis (K⊥) of DKI parameters increased after infarction,and reached the peak at acute phase,and decreased gradually with the prolonging of time.Mean diffusion (MD),axial diffusion (D//),radial diffusion (D⊥) of DTI parameters decreased after infarction,and reached the lowest at the acute phase,and increased gradually with the prolonging of time.The percentage change of MK,K//,K⊥ were higher than those of MD,D//,D⊥,and percent change along the axial direction were significantly larger than that along the radial direction.Conclusion DKI is superior to DTI in evaluating cerebral infarction,and can analyze the changes of microstructure of cerebral infarction comprehensively.

Objective The advantages of the treating allergic rhinitis (AR) by sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation with acupuncture were evaluated.Methods Databases including CBMDisk, CNKI, WanFang, VIP, Cochrane Library, PubMed, ProQuest, ChiCTR, ISRCTN, ClinicalTrials.gov and CENTRAL were searched from the beginning of database established to Jan 2015. All issues from Jan 2004 to Jan 2015 published onjournals Chinese Acupuncture & Moxibustion,Shanghai Journal of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Acupuncture Research,Journal of Clinical Acupuncture and Moxibustion,Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine and Chinese Journal of Otorhinolaryngology in Integrative Medicine were searched by hand at meantime. All data were extracted based on the inclusive and exclusive criteria which was pre-designed, the Revman5.3 was applied for meta-analysis, and the studies qualities were analyzed by grade score.Results 118 articles were collected, 7 studies that involving 1 230 patients met the inclusive criteria. The result indicated that the sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation with acupuncture as the main treatment of AR showed the better total response rate compared to conventional drugs, theOR(95%CI) was 3.22(1.81 - 5.75); however the change of total symptom score had no statistical significant difference, the MD(95%CI) was 0.69 (-0.56 - 1.93), the change of IgE had no statistical significant difference,theSMD(95%CI) was -0.07 (-0.97 - 0.83).Conclusion The main treatment on AR by sphenopalatine ganglion stimulation with acupuncture may has better efficacy than western medicine. But due to the methodological biases existed in most studies, future high-quality RCTs were needed to be included into Meta-analysis to test today’s study conclusion.

Objective To investigate the relationship between ischemic time and thrombus types in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).Methods Eighty-two STEMI patients undergone emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary thrombus aspiration (CTA) from Sep.2012 to Apr.2016 were included and divided into 3 groups according to the ischemic time:≤4 hours (n=36),4-7 hours (n=30) and ＞7 hours (n=16).Visible aspirated thrombi were collected and separated into erythrocyte-rich type,platelet/fibrin-rich type and combined type thrombi by HE dying.The percentage difference of the 3 types thrombi was compared among the 3 groups.Results The percentage of platelet/fibrinrich type,erythrocyte-rich type and combined type thrombi in the 3 groups were as follows:in ≤4h group:61.1％(22/36),8.3％(3/36) and 30.6％(11/36),P=0.019;in 4-7h group:23.3％(7/30),10.0％(3/30) and 66.7％(20/30),P=0.012;and in ＞7h group:43.8％(7/16),12.5％(2/16) and 43.8％(7/16),P=0.913.For platelet/fibrin-rich type thrombi,the percentages in 3 periods were 61.1％(22/36),19.4％(7/36) and 19.4％(7/36),P=0.009;For combined type thrombi,the percentages in 3 periods were 28.9％(11/38),52.6％(20/38) and 18.4％(7/38),P=0.013;For erythrocyte-rich type thrombi,the percentages in 3 periods were 37.5％(3/8),37.5％(3/8) and 25.0％(2/8),P=0.895.Conclusions The types of intracoronary aspirated thrombi differ from various periods.Ischemia time may be an important predicted factor.

Objective:To explore the predictive value of neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) of inflammatory markers of peripheral blood cells on the prognosis in the advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with immune therapy.Methods:The hematologic and clinical data of 58 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who received the treatment of immune therapy in the First People's Hospital of Chuzhou of Anhui Province from January 2018 to June 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. X-tile software was used to calculate the optimal cut-off values of NLR and SII. All patients were divided into high and low groups according to the optimal cut-off values. The relationship between different NLR, SII and clinicopathological features, clinical efficacy, prognosis of the advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with immune therapy were analyzed. Cox regression models were used to perform univariate and multivariate analyses of factors affecting patient prognosis.Results:The optimal cut-off values for NLR and SII were 3.2 and 546.5, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in regional lymph node metastasis ( χ2=5.03, P=0.025) and the number of metastatic sites ( χ2=11.60, P=0.001) between patients in the low-NLR group (NLR<3.2, n=26) and the high-NLR group (NLR≥3.2, n=32). There were statistically significant differences in location of the primary site ( χ2=8.34, P=0.004) between patients in the low-SII group (SII<546.5, n=28) and the high-SII group (SII≥546.5, n=30). The objective response rate (ORR) of the low-NLR group [50.00% (13/26) ] was higher than that of the high-NLR group [21.88% (7/32) ], and there was a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.02, P=0.025) ; the disease control rate (DCR) of the low-NLR group [69.23% (18/26) ] was higher than that of the high-NLR group [50.00% (16/32) ], but there was no statistically significant difference ( χ2=2.19, P=0.139). The ORR of the low-SII group [53.57% (15/28) ] was higher than that of the high-SII group [26.67% (8/30) ]; The DCR of the low-SII group [67.86% (19/28) ] was higher than that of the high-SII group [33.33% (10/30) ], and there were statistically significant differences ( χ2=4.38 , P=0.036; χ2=6.91 , P=0.009). The median overall survival (OS) of patients in the low-NLR group (17.6 months) was longer than that of the high-NLR group (11.7 months), and there was a statistically significant difference ( χ2=11.07, P=0.001). The median OS of patients in the low-SII group (16.5 months) was longer than that of the high-SII group (12.3 months), and there was a statistically significant difference ( χ2=5.53, P=0.019). Univariate analysis showed that Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score ( HR=2.20, 95% CI: 1.10-4.39, P=0.025), brain metastases ( HR=3.24, 95% CI: 1.61-6.50, P=0.001), the number of transferred sites ( HR=2.83, 95% CI: 1.44-5.57, P=0.003), NLR ( HR=3.22, 95% CI: 1.56-6.66, P=0.002) and SII ( HR=2.18, 95% CI: 1.12-4.24, P=0.021) were all independent influence factors affecting the prognosis of the advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with immune therapy; multivariate analysis showed that brain metastases ( HR=2.91, 95% CI: 1.22-6.94, P=0.016), NLR ( HR=2.88, 95% CI: 1.17-7.13, P=0.022) and SII ( HR=3.63, 95% CI: 1.40-9.39, P=0.008) were all independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of the advanced non-small cell lung cancer patients with immune therapy. Conclusion:NLR and SII can be used as important indicators for predicting the efficacy of immunotherapy in the advanced NSCLC and elevated NLR and SII can indicate poor prognosis of patients.
